Personally id rather go with something around these lines even tho I do not know much about the brand.

Now that's one sexy Parang right thar in my eyes!


At SHOT show I got to play with one of those Condor parangs you linked to above. The workmanship is a little rough but in a way that just adds to its sweet "must cut everything in sight" nature. laugh It looks like it just came out of the jungle.

I also played with BG's parang. I liked the blade and think it would do well here in the rain forests of Houston but the handle just hurt to look at. It seemed too high-tech for such a primitive blade. It felt okay, but I hated the way it looked and begged the Gerber folks to come out with a wood-handled one.
