Hi all,
I recently bought a Parang from a chap in Borneo. Its a lovely weight blade, but there are a couple of issues I have with it.
Firstly, the blade isn't straight.
Secondly, the handle is a bit small for my hands and isn't very comfortable.
Now bearing in mind my blacksmithing skills are fairly rudimentary I was wondering if there is anyone that maybe able to help me sort this out?
I live in Suffolk but would be happy to travel within a couple of hours.
I'd really like to learn a bit about how to fix it so I'm not expecting to just give it to someone to sort out, fetch and carrying is a speciality of mine!
Any help would be greatfully received, oh and payment would be a given!
Thanks
Toby
p.s. if this is in the wrong place, my apologies, feel free to move.
