Very nice!! Congrats :)

Certainly not for tourists!!!
Not from Borneo but from Sumatra or Sulawesi. I think it is a Bangkung or a Raut Raut. A Sumatran parang.

Nice find!

I agree with Henk, a Sumatran parang, with a carabao (kerbau), horn ferrule, which had splitted. ;)

Hello Carlos,

I think the blade would benefit from a light etch with vinegar or pineapple juice - please post pics if you decide to do so!

Regards,
Kai
