O'Katz Handmade Parang Lading

.. What do you think if I asked O'Katz to put a small guard just after the handle to avoid accidental slipping onto edge? ..

Hi Kenny, IMVHO this sort of flared out choil suit your requirement on the Parang Lading!
So that it won't change much the flow of the blade.

Ya. I'm in the midst of getting one from uncle O'Katz. I really want one after reading this thread.
 
And here is the picture of the Parang Lading now owned by Anthony Ooi of Kedah, Malaysia :thumbup:
His is the # 4 in the batch.

Notice the difference?
Yup, it doesn't has a lanyard hole so O'Katz just simply fixed the handle scales with 3 pins.

I ask the maker to make a drainage hole at the bottom of the insert. errrk Nepki you noticed something familiar? I use the skeletool I bought from you to fasten the Tek Lok hahaha :D
