The closest I have found to Lofty's parang ,the one in his book, is a Martindles's No.4-01 12" jungle knife ( not the issue golok ).It has a similar blade shape to Lofty's only upside down.
It's on their web site under Asia+Pacific section, seems to be limited to a case of 100 I'm afraid.
Ukkitmonster have the issue plce sheath only and a good clear photo under webbing parts, page 2. Might be worth a look.
I would have posted links ' but ' maybe some day !!
Hope this is of help. Pete.

the DVD is being worked on.. last I heard they were working on the menu system for it.. then getting it out to the public.. should be a great DVD though
I'm getting one !!!thanks for all the replies.
I think i may wait and see if lofty's new knife comes out. Also i am hopefully due for a decent pay raise so a custom knife might very well be on the cards

the New knife is I beleive almost ready.. I've seen the prototype and can recomend it.. it's comfortable to hold nicely balanced.. I witnessed it cut through a pine log 8-9 inch Dia in about 2-3 mins.. ok the guy was going at it.. but he didn't break a sweat and wasn't out of breath.. also it was dead wood standing.. I think the work now is on the sheath.. getting it just right..

right sunshine, this teasing is not nice
hehehe.. done a course with them and had the pleasure of using the prototype knife and was able to talk to the instructor about the DVD.. the finer details I'm sorry I can't give as I don't know myself..
So long as its better than this beast!
I have huge respect for "Lofty" but man that was no knife I would ever want. An intriguing concept and I was delighted to own one as an interesting item (indeed Sam had it off me) - but it was - whilst a serious chopper - always far too heavy and cumbersome
