    The top two are Tramontina macehetes..bought the blades with handles for about USD8/- each +-. The curve machete in the middle on the second row is the Duku Chandung parang and on its right is the Malaysian Golok.

    As for the knives...on the second photo..top row second from right is the Bad Blood Paradigm...second row 1st on the right is the Tramontina Fixed Blade which i bought for USD10.00...on the second row 1st on the left is my 30 years old hunter/survival knife I bought this nlast time for about USD 50.00..I really forgot its there..and beside it is the China made Columbia GO2 knife..which I bough for about USD6 bucks..quite sharp and tough..I have batoned it.
    Second row 3rd from left is my fav Mora Bushcraft...I made my own kydex sheaths...

    Really like that duku parang. The straight edged one second from the right looks like it should be in a battle.

    Nice collection Tokwan!
    I especially like the parangs, they look like they could be quite useful in my area as well.
    I'll be on the lookout for one for sure!

    "Too many" is purely a relative term. I think my wife has too many shoes and she thinks I have too many guns, which is clearly wrong on her part and borderline sacrilegious!

    Amen to that, Rick! My daughter asked me the other day how many guns I lost in the canoe incident........... Her attention span ran out before I finished counting!

    Nice collection, T! I'm sure it won't be long before a few more are added.

    You would have to define "too many" first. I would say you aren't there yet.
