	Golok Kelapa
		The handle that I have on mine is replaced with one similar to that found on the Survival Golok, and the false edge is gone.
		The survival golok on top and the kelapa are far different in use than the picture would lead one to believe.
		Think of the golok as more like a machete and the kelapa as something more related to a hatchet or cleaver in use and you have the idea.

	The Horn Golok
		The one issue for the user to resolve with the horn golok is gluing small thin pieces of leather inside the mouth of the sheath.
		As with the Small Horn Golok, this blade is difficult to categorize.
		Like a lot of people, I started out with the survival goloks, and after seeing their efficiency, my considerations were mainly to see what increased weight, and different blade shapes would achieve.

	The Valiant Company Survival Golok
		The survival golok is a large blade with a convex profile so that it doesn't keep wedging in wood like a machete.
		If the golok blade were more pointy, then with less weight at the tip to counterbalance, the sweet spot for heavy cutting would move much closer to the grip.
		If you look closely at the golok handle in comparison to the kelapa, you'll notice that the length and shape of the golok handle allows you to turn the blade better to use the false edge for smacking though things such as dead conifer branches.

	Knife Review : Martindale machetes
		The Golok weighs 520 g with the balance point 7.5 cm in front of the handle, 13.5 cm in front of the center of the grip.
		Working with the Valiant Golok was also an inspiration for the modification as was the wide tip machete, pattern number 32L.
		The Golok doesn't cut as well as the Jungle Knife with the new in box profile, but is able to handle far heavier wood work without significant damage.

		The handle of the War Golok is one solid piece heated and folded, rounded out for comfort and wrapped with bamboo strippings.

		There are VIP tour buses that travel from Bangkok to Sungai Golok, but I must confess to being more of a train traveller, even though they take a lot longer to reach their intended destination.
		When I told them Sungai Golok they tried to tell me that both first and second-class carriages for the trains were booked out and suggested I try a VIP bus.
		One thing Sungai Golok is not short of is hotel’s, of all shapes, sizes and catering to all budgets.

	The Weapons of Kuntao Macan
		The system relies on three main edged weapons: a generic knife or pisau, a short, heavy-bladed bush knife similar to a machete called a golok, and a straight-bladed, single-edged short sword referred to generically as a pedang.
		On the left, a typical Javanese golok with a deer-horn handle, on the right a golok of peninsular Malay origin.
		The golok is the main weapon in the system, and training consists in a series of short sets similar to jurus which may be practiced alone or with a partner similarly to the unarmed jalan perkakas, and also a lengthy and complex kembang for the weapon.

	[Outdoors-Magazine.com] Horn Golok Small
		If a golok comes from a different culture, and does a slightly different job of work - well I’m sure that Scandinavians won’t be too long in seeing that it’s hand forged, zone hardened, and the handle and scabbard are of natural materials.
		The horn golok is $34 US - plus what it takes to get it from Australia and through customs.
		This one will easily chop down larger saplings that you’d want to cary far to build a lean to, and in addition it works well on seasoned wood so that you’d be able to get to dry stuff in most cases for a fire.
