Parang Nabur lock down purchase
Another piece bought online and via this forum in fact. I put a "want to buy" on the swap forum and a member came forward with this example, and very happy with it I am indeed. (I am not sure if naming sellers is OK here, but happy to advertise him if he so wishes)

Regarding your comment above though, given that commercial posts of all kinds are banned on our forums it really isn't up to the seller if it is alright for you to advertise them. It is absolutely against the rules of our forums to allow such advertisements here. Enjoy you parang though.

Well, an attribution to the photographer seems due and generally academically sound practise - let's see if David agrees...

Thats an old Beladah Belabang or Parang Lais with good laminated blade, indeed. Regards, Kai |

Hello David,

Yours seems to have some contrasting random layers. I'd suggest a gentle, subdued etch to keep the focus on the flow of lines (fullers, etc.). Regards, Kai |

Hello Wayne,

These tend to be rather pricey nowadays, especially if complete with silver-clad scabbard. Regards, Kai |

Clarification on commercial discussions
David R,
Just to follow up on David's comment about commercial remarks, etc. If anyone wishes to know the name of your seller, price of items, etc. then it is perfectly okay to take such discussions to personal messaging (PM) or email through this site--just not in public on the forum pages. We don't wish to stifle completely such discussion among registered users. Much valuable information can be gained by informal chats via PM or email. Ian |

what are the dimensions ?
I am curious as I see some similarities with the Dutch klewangs ... but then again I am no expert in this subject Last edited by gp; 4th November 2021 at 11:54 PM. |

Hello Gunar,

The clipped blade in Wayne's example (a relatively rare variant) considerably predates the Dutch klewang. Regards, Kai |
