Thanks! I believe that leaving them looking like they came from the factory is kinda boring, so I like to do a little to 'em.
 
I think The Warrior could take a picture of an old sock and we would say, Nice Knife, brother.

You should be the official Becker Photog.

I want to give your parang some good lovin'. Oh how I would love to hold and use that. Please tell me dirty stories and specs about it.

Sorry Ogre, but there is absolutely no way I will ever let you hold my Parang, and I'm sure my wife would not approve of it either!:barf:

However I'm happy to share picture,s (but no private tweets like Rep. Anthony Weiner) and specs. (It's big).

All innuendo and kidding aside, it's a David Farmer custom Golok. 19 in OAL, 13 1/2" blade. Steel is 1095. Handle is cherry. It comes with David's legendary super sharp convex edge.

When I think Golok, a big ole heavy chopper like the Condor or Bark River Golok (the only other one I've owned) comes to mind, but this one is a little more machete-like.

While it can definitely do some chopping, it's 3/32" thickness makes it very quick to swing. I recently had it out for some for trail clearing. In this first picture you can see how it cleanly cut through a maple sapling in one swipe.

I also used it to clear out some overgrowth.

AFTER:

Finally, I used it to chop through some hard as crap dead-fall blocking the trail:

So there you go, a dirty story. While my Bk-9 is still a better pure chopper, we all know every blade has it's place, and my Farmer Golok has a place very close to my heart.
