Pandat

The Pandat (other names also include Kamping, Parang Pandat, Parang Pandit or Mandau Tangkitn) is the war sword of the Dayak people of northwest Borneo (Sarawak, Malaysia and West Kalimantan, Indonesia) and is never used as a tool.

On October 18, 2016, this weapon was featured in season 3 episode 9 of the American bladesmithing competition series Forged in Fire.

[1] The Pandat has a short, heavy, single-edged blade with an iron hilt.

Both the back and the edge are straight and run apart, so that the blade's broadest part is at the point.

[5] It is thought that a downward cut would be highly inefficient and unbalanced, throwing a great strain upon the wrist.
