Call this parang ginah or parang jengok. Originated from northern Malaysian peninsular typically Kelantan and Terrengganu or Pattani. This is traditionally a sickle where functionally it can be used as a weapon too.

Hi Emanuel,
I acquired one of these awhile ago.....

Sold as a Malay sword , not being certain what it was and noticing the decorative handle ...I took the 'risk'
