In sumatera we call it "parang", but in java they call it "golok". If you write "perang", in Indonesia it means "war" not "machete".

Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action. Capillary action allows water to be pulled through the thin tubes because the molecules of the water are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube. The water molecules at the top are pulled up the tube and the water molecules below them are pulled along because of their attraction to the water molecules above them.

Interesting fact: the male perang has a tip that cants forward. While the women's perang has a tip that curves or cants toward the spine. The acid from cutting vegetation darkens the carbon steel blade thus helping it to resist rust. The wooden scabbard helps to absorb moisture from the sheathed blade. Rubbing sand into a a wet wooden stump creates an abrasive sharpening medium in primitive environments.

sharp yes, soft materiel yes. it makes a difference. use them in the desert. you would be in for a surprise. the wood is dence and hard. I used a collins in the Jungles of Panama for many years hunting with dogs for deer and pig. I kept it sharp and love cutting trail with it and many other things. I knew not to hit the hard woods with it. seems most the jungle is soft stuff and easy to chop through.

they go into the woods and consult with shaman, then after a sacrifice is made, Oogoolukko, got of metal (I know I know, some will argue Rob Halford is the TRUE god of metal, but i digress) creates this blade out of the basic elements of the earth. The other option is they go to the local trading post and buy/trade for one, produced locally by craftsmen, after all its just a machete.
