Hello all
I've recently purchased a duku candong style parang from america - of all places. As you can imagine, its bloody heavy! Of all the parangs I've ever owned its the heaviest. However, I quite like it bar one thing . . . . the blade is full convex ground.
I could grind it myself to scandi standards using several files and a week's worth of elbow grease but I'm getting rather lazy at doing all that. So was wondering if anyone knew of any blacksmiths or similar that can perform good quality scandi grinding - and who are situated in east london somewhere? Or nearby?
Sure would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Luke
