Malaysian parang
length: 17"
Modern made in the ancient tradition, this contemporary knife
came to me from a dealer in Sarawak who advertised it as a Dyak
parang from Borneo. Beautiful woodwork on handle and scabbard, hand-worked blade is extremely sharp.
A very nice beginning or addition to an ethnographic weapons collection.
blade: 11 1/2"
blade width: 15/16" base 1 1/8" max
grip: 5"
