Thanks Ben,
Yes it resembles the style of the old Jimpul more than the Ilang. Not home yet for a couple of hours but will post blade comments as soon as I have it in front of me again. Michael |

Back home, the blade is not flat but concave/convex like a Parang Ilang.

Here is another odd Iban parang.
It has a "half-crowit" and the point is not as pronounced as for a Langgai Tinggang or a Niabor. The long blade is flat with fullers and incised with phyllomorphic design on both sides. Look carefully at the point and you can see the design. Michael |
