Type Chopper, Machete Place of origin Borneo (Sarawak, Malaysia, West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, Indonesia) Service history Used by Dayak people (Iban / Sea Dayak), Kenyah people Specifications Length approximately 60–75 cm (24–30 in) Blade type Single edge, flat grind Hilt type Antler/deer horn, wood Scabbard/sheath Wood **Jimpul** (other names also include **Jumbul**, **Mandau Pasir**, **Parang Djimpul**, **Parang Jimpul**) is a traditional weapon of the [Sea Dayak](/source/Iban_people) and [Kenyah people](/source/Kenyah_people) from [Borneo](/source/Borneo). It is often thought that the Parang Jimpul may be considered as a hybrid between the [Mandau](/source/Mandau_(knife)) and [Langgai Tinggang](/source/Langgai_Tinggang).[1] The Parang Jimpul is an intermediary form between the [Mandau](/source/Mandau_(knife)) and the [Langgai Tinggang](/source/Langgai_Tinggang) dating from c. 1870-c. 1885.[2] ## Description The blade of the Parang Jimpul has flat sides and is distinctly curved. Widening towards the point, it ends in a slanting angle or drop point. The edge is longer than the spine. The blade may have two or three grooves, running at short distance from the back, as well as hooks and protrusions (*krowit*) near the hilt on the sharp edge. Chased figures can be found on both sides near the hilt. The hilt and scabbard are made in the same way as those of the [Mandau](/source/Mandau_(knife)). Just as the shape of the blade is, the scabbard is also curved.[3] The blade of the Parang Jimpul is very identical to the Parang Lading and Parang Panyang. ## See also - [Indonesia portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Indonesia) - [Malaysia portal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Malaysia) - [Langgai Tinggang](/source/Langgai_Tinggang) - [Mandau](/source/Mandau_(knife)) - [Niabor](/source/Niabor) - [Pisau raut](/source/Pisau_raut) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Museum für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig (1969). *Jahrbuch, Band 26*.
