MY Parang Tangkin Machete 12" Beech Wood Handle Nylon Sheath MYPTGKN12

First thing you will notice is how the blade is angled upwards. Some people may find this quite awkward, but in fact it is very ergonomic. It works especially well when you are positioned low on the ground. Using the Parang Tangkin in this position enables the blade to hit parallel to the ground, keeping your knuckles safe. This will enable the user to fully use the entire blade or the sweet spot for chopping. Compared to other Parangs, you might hit the tip into the ground when cutting from a low position.
