Its used for both timber felling, agricultural activities and warfare is characterised by the noticeable bent at an obtuse angle from one-third of its length starting from the pommel.[1] This parang features a single-edge blade that is heavier and wider towards the point of the blade. The handle of the Parang Latok is made of wood without a guard and often tied securely with rattan at its grip. It is carried in a long, two-piece wooden sheath to properly hold the blade.[2] In the past, the Parang Latok is also used for executing condemned criminals, and the decapitation is normally achieved with a single blow.[3] This parang is used two-handedly, with one hand holding the hilt and the other holding the blade's shoulder, enabling its user to strike downwards. A smaller version of the Parang Latok is called the Buko, while another variant of the Parang Latok is known as the Sadap.[4] See also{{Portal|Indonesia}}
