Malay Parang – Hand-Forged Jungle Machete with Finger Notch Grip

The Malay Parang is a traditional machete design from the deep jungles of Southeast Asia, created for one purpose—cutting through dense vegetation with speed and control. Historically favored in Malaysia and Borneo, this style has stood the test of time for its unmatched chopping efficiency and ergonomic design.

Forged from high-quality 5160 spring steel, this parang is built for hard field use, with an excellent balance of toughness and flexibility. The rosewood handle features finger notches for enhanced grip and a hooked pommel for retention during extended cutting sessions. Its full tang construction ensures strength and dependability in survival or work situations.

Each blade comes paired with a fitted leather scabbard for secure transport and storage, making it an ideal choice for bushcraft, jungle expeditions, or traditional edged weapon collectors.
