Pair of long Parangs

Swords arrived today, they are beasts, indeed chromed. There are a few areas of black rust spotting on the blades, no flaking. There is a pattern of eyelash arcs near the guard.
Grips are varnished, i'll strip off the varnish, and oil finish or wax them. The front half of the blades are quite sharp, the rear half is not sharp at all, basically rectangular. The balance point is where the transition happens fairly rapidly as the blade widens. The blade is distal tapered. Wood grips have some scrape marks. All tight.The grips are stylized cockerels.
