im gonna say something that i yhink everyone else is saying to themselves a parang or machete is mainly used in a jungle (not in a normal forested area} if you want to test it properly take it to a jungle
Thanks for the vid!!...I enjoyed it. It seems like a decent blade (parang westernized) but I don't like the sheath. Natives where I am from just like myself like to have our thumb on the guard/handle ready for any attack instead of having to unbutton things..
personally i enjoyed the segment of you cutting that hard log. it shows that while it does take a while, it can be done within a good amount of time while retaining relatively good edge. plus it seriously put the parang to the test. good job.
my cousine bought one at walmart and cut almost cut his thumb off before he even got to the car in the parking lot, trying to take that rubber thing that comes on the blade off
after all that I hope you enjoyed that steak, great demo. the only thing that bothers me is that orange color. I'm assuming its intensional "hi-vis" for a reason. other than that it it looks like its on my list of sharp objects to have around the house. lol
Please do not do similar reviews any more. It hurted my eyes watching how unable to use such a beautiful thing you realy are. I also was worried about your hands and/or fingers. At least, please, do some practice before turning your camera on.
Thinking about buying one for my brother, he's into knives, survival and stuff like that. I can't decide whether to buy the BG Parang, or Cold Steel (standard) Kukri/Machete. Which would you recommend? The Cold Steels are about 3/4 of the price of the BG Parang here in Europe where I live.
@nuk3man If its available in Europe, I'd highly recommend the Ontario Knife kukri over the CS. Price is around $55 USD. Great kukri and half the price of the SK-5 steel CS kukri and nicer all around. Plus its made in the US as opposed to China. (I know that probably doesn't mean the same to you! lol) Lynn Thompson (CS) has designed some amazing knives but the man is an asshole who wants to make money. Just my 2 cents
@nuk3man If the 2 machetes would cost the same, I would recommend the BG Parang. But you know, the CS Kukri is cheaper, so it depends how much you're liking your brother ;)
It also depends what your brother wanna do with the machete. Neither Sweden nor Germany is a typical machete-country, so how about an axe? You've got outstanding ones in Sweden!
But okay, I know, we all wanna have fun and big knives are fun.
I would recommend the Ontario Military Jungle Machete for your Bra. It's about 30 €.
At first I thought it was shit...But then out of fairness to this machete I don't think a guy using one for the first time will give us a true indication on weather this product is any good!
@MrMegaCrazyMan9 Cause it's a machete/parange not an axe. And the whole video is only 14 mins and 51 seconds long so your wrong. Also it'snot designed or supposed to be used in that manner. Just the fact that in can is awesome
Great test man, and I am interested in the type of pants you are wearing in this video. I really like the color and I have been meaning to find out what it is. If you or anyone else could answer this I'd appreciate it. Take care and stay safe!
@atruepatriot92 THX! I'm wearing the 5.11 Tactical Pants, Cotton (50 $). But I would recommend the 5.11 Taclite Pro Pants. It's out of a mix of polyester and cotton ripstop. That's lighter and faster drying.
@TIEclon Das war kein so großer Act. Ich hab das Teil einige Minuten mit dem Spyderco Sharpmaker behandelt. War recht leicht zu schärfen und hielt die Schärfe auch ganz gut, besser als die Cold Steel Macheten z.B.
@Solid33Snake Es gibt Paulaner Weißbier oder auch genannt (helles oder dunkles) Hefeweizen, das trink ich nur aus einem entsprechenden Glas. Es gibt aber auch die Sorte "Helles", das ist eine "Halbe" eher wie ein "Export", das ist gut zum aus der Flasche Trinken. Ich tippe du kommst kommst aus dem Norden oder Osten? ;-)
Youtube spawning wannabes with no experience and consumers who fall for marketing sh_t for years to come wasting peoples time. I would have been through that tree with my Swiss army in far less time.
I love the fact that he is at regular camping site going crazy with a factory produces machete. Why don't bring a axe? All his practices are meant to be done with a axe twice as fast ;D
@AdrianCto96 The parang isn't sharpened at that part of the blade. But you're right, I wouldn't spark with the sharp edge. Bear Grylls does so, I don't know why, maybe he doesn't have to sharpen his knife by himself or always getting an new one after using.
Рекламный ход! При чем не удачный! Если бы паранг брил волосы, то он бы и древесину бы с легкостью строгал, а не с такими усилиями...
