Looking For A SE Asian Style Chopper.

[Evany]

Some type of Parang or Golok. Around a 12" blade. Was looking at the Svord Golok and the Condor Golok, but I've seen a few unidentified customs that look amazing. I really like the Farmer "Dangerous Curves," but I can't seem to find a link to his work or a place I can buy one. Would love to hear some recommendations or advice...

Are you wanting it for looks, or for use? If you want it for use, there's pretty much no reason not to go with Condor. If you're wanting it for looks, well...it's still nice looking, but you might find something else that appeals to your tastes more.

I have a parang made in Bidor, Malaysia. its not beautiful but chops like a beast holds an edge really well (made with 1095 i think). i got them for 29USD w/PVC sheath. Since i live in Thailand it fits my bill perfectly. heres the link http://www.outdoordynamics.com.my/m...ategory_id=196&display_start=0&current_page=1

I did this search some time ago and ended up with a Himalayan Import Farm Knife. Terrific knife, great quality, hacks like an axe and slices like a butcher (I prepared a stew with it, just for fun...). Last but not least, the people at HI are just top notch. The Farm Knife is still my favorite "bash all " choice. It outperformed many axes and machetes. And it looks terrific...

I have tried Farm Knife as well as Farmcata and it's a good chopper...for logs. Anything that you need to brush through with breeze you need a reasonable blade thickness with curved belly for weeds and ferns. Any heavier you are not going to use that all day, every day.

My Valiant Co Golok is probably my favorite device for trimming shrubs & lopping limbs. Nice, SHARP blade. Much nicer than my Tramontina machete.
