Making a Southeast Asian Style Knife PARANG

Good day!! Like the machete, the parang is frequently used in the jungle as well as being a tool for making housing, furniture, and tools. The parang has been noted in John “Lofty“ Wiseman’s SAS Survival Handbook for this use. Wiseman points out that by grinding three different angles in three separate regions along the Parang blade a narrow angle at the tip for skinning and fine cutting work; a wide, chopping blade angle along the bow in the blade for ax work, and an all-purpose hunting/survival knife angle along the edge nearest the handle for general purpose work the parang becomes a very useful, and compact all-purpose tool in the bush.
