Some of you might be interested in this post on my blog about modifying an Ontario Knife Co. machete into a parang.

I've also got a post about bringing new life into an old machete. I gave this one a parang-like look to it as well.

Thanks Arturo,the parang with the new handle looks good.
I've been thinking about cutting my tramontina down to a parang.(I too prefer the looks of a parang)
It has a very bad plastic handle with a pinky masher,so I'll try your handle mod also.
Great thread,thanks again.
