Hi Stu:
Not Philippines IMHO. It is a humble, village quality parang that could be from Java, but Sumatra or Kalimantan might be possibilities also. It's a general purpose knife, mainly for gardening/agricultural purposes. Perhaps someone here can help you identify it more closely with regard to the style of the scabbard or hilt, but they look fairly non-specific to me. I've taken the liberty of lightening one of your pics to better show the hilt and scabbard details. Regards, Ian |

Hello Stu,
I would say that it is a golok from Sunda (West Java). Regards, Detlef |

It is a parang from Borneo.
The description by Ian is correct. Village made. |

For me it's golok from Sunda or south Sumatra. I have the same but entirely covered with a foil of repoussé silver.

The scabbard mouth is typical for Sunda, special by golok scabbards!
