MyParang Golok 135 Heavy is my first parang or machette from MyParang - an authentic parang or golok from Penang, Malaysia.

I was so impressed by MyParang Golok 135 Heavy that I bought another MyParang product namely Duku Chandong 12" Heavy.

I love big blades! And the 12" Heavy model has thicker blade stock and a beast of a chopper!

MyParang Golok 135 Heavy is a premium parang different from Bidor Parang. While the blade stock come from Bidor, the traditional wooden curve handle design is made from eco-Beech sourced from Croatia and the blade is secured by 3.5mm pin behind the brass collar bolster and epoxied to the rat-tail blade tang. Each blade has a beautiful forged marks (thank you Ahmad Nadir!) and a brush finish

Overall weight w/sheath : 724.3gr (25.5oz) dan Weight w/o sheath: 550.5gr (19.41oz)
Nylon sheath weight: 173.8g (6.13oz) 
Nylon Sheath length: 33cm (13") 
Overall length: 49cm (19.2")

I've made changes to the finger choil making it a little rounder and the handle to fit my hands or so I imagined. There is nothing wrong with original design, in fact it works right out of the box. I just wanted to make MyParang Golok 135 Heavy my own.
