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! |

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 |
