Michael,

I had wondered if the two MUST be related. When I was trying to prepare scabbard dimensions I used the curvature of my niabor to go by...the closest thing I had...and noticed that both the curvature and width of blade were pretty nearly identical to the larger parang. It(the niabor) was only smaller in all other dimensions, primarily the thickness of the blade and weight.
