where can you find a parang in the US?

Anyone know where to find a good quality parang in the US? I've heard good things about Valiant but you get reamed with the international shipping. Do they have a US store? Thanks

You might consider waiting for one of these to come out, Condor makes good stuff. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=709257

It also depends on what sort of parang you want...

If you want something more traditional and native, then it will be thinner and longer.

While if you want to go with something more syncretic, like is suggested by Lofty Wiseman in his famous writings, then it will be a bit thicker, and shorter, and likely a bit different in shape.

Best,

I've been looking at this one:

for weeks, now. In northern Georgia, I'll never have jungle plants here , and even if I had, I've got two goloks and bunches of machetes......, but that's a really nicely made parang

GOSH, twist my arm for a passaround will ya



I'll pass around the prototype Condor parang. Let me make sure my UPS shipment with the updated version comes in and then I'll set it up.
