Parang (knife)
Okay kiddo, a parang is a special kind of knife that comes from a place called Malaysia. It's kind of like a big, curved blade that is very sharp and very strong.
People in Malaysia use parangs to do all sorts of things, like chopping wood, cutting grass or bushes, and even hunting. They hold the parang like this (demonstrate grip) and use it to cut things with really smooth, easy movements.
Parangs are also really important to the people who live in Malaysia because they're part of their culture and traditions. They've been using them for a long, long time, and they take really good care of them so they last a really long time too.
But because parangs are so sharp and strong, it's really important that kids like us never ever touch or play with them without the help of a grown-up. They can be very dangerous if we don't know what we're doing with them.
