Bark River Knives recently announced that they will produce a Parang style knife as early as Fall 2013. The Parang is a traditional Malaysian knife that has really gained a foot hold in the survival/bushcraft community. It is a large knife that excels at chopping.
Bark River Knives does a great job of designing modern, hard use knives based on traditional regional designs like their previous Golok design. Given that track record, I have high hopes for this Parang design.
I want to order or at least pre-order the parang. Your site says is will be coming out on the Fall of 2013——-well, it’s oct. 2013—-when will the parang be available and how can I get on a list to buy one. Thanks, Dennis
Dennis, I would suggest that you get in touch with Bark River Knife and Tool.
