Forged this one up last night, in under 2 hours HT'd and all. 1084. Took it outside today to take photos on the stone bench and thought how cool it was it blended in really well, almost looks exactly like the stone! I really dig this nessmuk/parang style blade, cannot wait to put it to use. 16 7/8" overall, 11 1/2" blade, 5 1/4" handle

So is a parang meant as a machete like tool (hacking down large vegetation I guess), or does it have some other historic purpose?

(Bryan - who cooks without anything sharper than a butter knife and whose best knife is one made for hacking apart boxes....)

Bryan, pretty much, hackin', choppin', whackin'. I think it was in use by some headhunter types too. They use it to build too, it's like an all around type tool.
