NO. IT IS NOT THE SAME.

(You cannot compare myparang to a machete in the local hardware store.)

Myparang's parang is handmade with the modern machine.
It features a specially hardened 5160 carbon steel blades with eco-wood handle from sourced from Croatia. 

Why destroy the jungle to enjoy it right?

I own one of the myparang and I enjoy every moment wielding it as it is relatively lightweight and very tough. It seems like a machete that can stand the test of time and serve me and my grandchildren well.
