thats an axe. I thought the old one was heavy and cumbersome, but that looks like you need a belt and yoke to just carry it.

Yeah it looks a monster,I don't know why it's got a Guard on it,I thought the idea of a Parang is that you can choke up the handle and the thin part of the blade.I can't see you being able to manage this on this model.I like the look of the handle,it looks alot more user friendly,the rubber handle on the Lofty Wiseman survival tool was hard on the wrist and hands.
