'Tis a Parang Lading Kedah built by O'Katz of Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia.
18" OAL made from an old American Jeep leaf spring steel (i.e. spark test showed that it's a 5160).
Thanks for looking

Thanks Allain, Parang Lading Kedah is a Malaysian traditional chopper and I'm very comfortable with it in our coconut plantation field works!
Yours are nicer though and I like them all especially the one made by Burt Foster :thumbup:
Kindly just let me know if ever you want to get rid of it
Congrats to you Phil, it is a Barung Semenanjung which is slightly different from it's siblings in Sabah and Philippines.
I have one (i.e. shown in posting # 662) and it's one of my favorite :thumbup:
Hope your O-ASM will be delivered to you soonest

Some would call this a bauernwehr but chopper fits, too.
That's an interesting hand guard on there. . .I like it, I haven't seen one like that before.
