Thanks guys.
The southwestern was forged by Kevin Davey of Coutel Cutlery at Doc Prices hammerin some years ago from silver steel, it's even nicer inna flesh.
The 'hawk was made from cs70 & 15n20 with the help of Trond Petersen (forging guidance) & Mick Maxen (taught me how to forge weld)
& I do like my parangs, they're fun to make.
