The Modern Malaysian Parang
In part 1 of this 2-part series, Urban Knife Guy explores different types of modern Malaysian parangs.
Parang is Malay for a large broad knife, similar to what is known as a Machete in the west.
The parang originates from the Malay archipelago with versions from Borneo, which is east Malaysia today, West Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The Malay archipelago is the region that makes up most of what is known as Southeast Asia today.
