i was given this parang by a freind a while back. its really nice to use and well designed. probably forged from a leaf spring, the handle is wraped in bamboo which acts as a perfect natural checkering. proper no nonsense tool but i have no idea of its true origins, im assuming its south east asia. it came without a sheath so i made one from a mystery hardwood, trying to stay true to the style of the knife.
does anyone have any idea where it may be from, anyone seen anything similar before?
