A Visit To The Parang Workshop / Kunjungan Melihat Parang

Yesterday evening, with a few friends, we went for a visit at Mr. Imran (a scabbard and Hilt maker) workshop to pickup my newly finish parang. I manage to take some photo of Mr. Imran new collection:

Petang semalam saya dan beberapa rakan sahabat berkunjung ke workshop saudara Imran. Niat asal mengambil tempahan saya yang telah siap dari adik beliau, saudara Kamarul. Dalam asyik becerita, saudara Imran mengeluar beberapa bilah parang yang telah siap berada dalam simpanan beliau. Memang cantik-cantik belaka:

Scabbard and Hilt made of Kayu Malam wood (More to the wood brighter side)

Parang Kayu Malam (Lebih Bahagian Cerahnya)

Scabbard and Hilt made of Kayu Malam wood (More to the wood darker side)

Parang Kayu Malam (Lebih Bahagian Gelapnya)

Scabbard and Hilt made of Kembayau Burung wood
Parang Kayu Kembayau Burung

Scabbard and Hilt made of Madang Sisik wood
Parang Kayu Madang Sisik

One type of Checker Machete
(made from 2 type of wood, Kulimpapa Tanduk and Kayu Malam)
Parang Dam Corak Kek Lapis

* Checker Machete or Parang Dam, is a type of Machete where the scabbard and hilt are made of a few type of wood that cut to small peaces and than combine to make the scabbard and hilt. The word "Dam" mean Checker.
