ARE THESE ALL SANGKITS ?

Royston,

Sorry if my comment was confusing in the old thread.
I later bought that parang, so I have handled it, and it is a Parang Pedang.
But there seems to be tribal variations of the Parang Pedang, as among other popular Borneo parang,
and yours is clearly a Murut version.
Very nice collection of rare Murut swords btw.

Here's another karit ilang, aka Sangkit, for reference purposes. Another thread showing these blades is here.
