Traditional Parang Machete – Hand Forged Jungle Blade with Khukuri-Style Handle

Blending the deep chopping curve of a Southeast Asian parang with the iconic features of the Nepali khukuri, the Traditional Parang Machete by Everest Forge is a rare fusion of cultural design and brutal utility. Built for clearing trails, jungle work, or rugged survival, this hand-forged blade stands out as a tool crafted to perform in real outdoor environments.

Forged from 5160 high carbon leaf spring steel, the 20-inch blade is left unpolished for a raw, rustic finish—enhancing its edge retention and functional appeal. A traditional khukuri-style notch at the base of the blade adds regional authenticity, while the 8-inch full tang handle is carved from solid rosewood and shaped with the familiar khukuri curve for a strong, comfortable grip in prolonged chopping sessions.

This parang includes a handmade leather-wrapped scabbard with wood core, ensuring safe carry and easy access in the field. Sharpened and field-ready, it’s the perfect blend of tradition and toughness for buyers looking for a real working blade—hand-forged, not factory stamped.
