As the title really, on the surface looks a good piece of kit but in my experience there's usually a few drawbacks. I have been looking of getting a heavyish parang/kukri for a while now and wondered if anyone has any experience with it ?
It will do the job.
I am only aware of the latest two, was looking at the larger 11" modelWhich one? There have been a few variations.
Ah, thats two against the grip. Its a lot of money to start carving it around for comfort like i did with my Tramontina. Do you still have the Parang ? If so where did you get it ?Tried one a while back, the grip didn't work for me at all
I'd rather have a spring steel Parang

has decent reviews and the cheapest i've seen it - Heinnie have it for over £100
I still have one of those ones which would really be the 2nd model as Survival aids sold his Oakwood stainless steel version back in the early 90's for £150. I think of all the versions the rubber handle one made by the welsh blacksmith chap outclass all the others due to not been cut out a bit of plate steel and ground. I have been using my one for 19 years now and it is in my mind a superb tool for backwoods stuff, cutting trees down and especially splitting fire wood.I had the 1st Model ? of Lofty's Parang / Survival Tool which had the Black Rubber? Handle Grip.
I thought that the the Grip was Good but the Handle thickness on it wasn't enough for my hands, But with Gloves it felt ok, But I didn't think that wearing Gloves every time I was going to use it was going to be a winner.
