MY Parang MY Parang Duku Chandong 8"

<p>MY Parang cutting tools are made exclusively by hand in Malaysia using the finest material available and using traditional methods.<br /> The blades are sourced from Bidor, Perak, world-renowned for their differentially hard hardened 5160 carbon steel blades; while the renewable eco wood for the handles is sourced from Croatia (we just love our rainforests too much!) <br /> We make use of the traditional rat tail construction for our parangs as it is a proven design that has withstood the test of time and evolution. <br /> However, we have added a brass pin under the collar for added confidence. <br /> The parang is a traditional tool and is embedded in our everyday lives and culture throughout Malaysia. Maintain your parang well by keeping it sharp and oiled : and ALWAYS remember to use it responsibly. Any abuse or miss-use will potentially result in damage or injury.</p> <p>The MY Parang now comes with a ballistic nylon sheath with webbing straps and a Velcro retaining strap.</p> <p>Specifications for the MY Duku Chandong 8&Prime; are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Blade length : 20 cm / 8 in.</li> <li>Handle length: 17 cm / 6.7 in</li> <li>Overall length: 37 cm / 14.7 in</li> <li>Widest blade: 5 cm / 1.9 in</li> <li>Weight ( blade and handle ) : 335 g / 11.8 oz.</li> <li>Sheath length: 23 cm / 9 in</li> <li>Width: 8 cm / 3 in</li> <li>Weight: 145 g / 5.1 oz</li> <li>Gross weight : 480 g / 16.9 oz</li> </ul>
