People gave him the standard parangs, he re-do them by 're-tempering' and of course refitting them with nice hilt and sheath. I have to say that his carvings are out of this world.

Really impressive blade actually. Well...as Danny said, don't be afraid to used it. You do use it everyday, you can rotate any parang you like. That's why we call it parang...use it in good health.

I just got back from Kuching and met the maker there. He told me that some of the blades were 'given' to him in return for his 'treatment' (he is a bomoh or something similar). He will then re-do the parang to his liking. And yes, the carvings are really really good. Will be doing a write-up on it soon. Hi James…yes, I think the 222 blade is a mass pro blade right?
