The Parang is the Malay commoner's multi-purpose blade. It is used for chopping , slashing , cutting , crafting , deskinning , and even hammering. It';s a all-in-one blade. it's a farming tool as well as a fighting weapon. It is not a light-weight blade as weight is needed for momentum to cut through the very densed Malay tropical vegetation.

this style of parang is typical of north borneo, I have the same one, they sometimes call it parang tulang (bone parang) because of its ability to butcher kills easily.

@lakko777 It's thicker than a machete though. A machete is made from a thin sheet of steel, it isn't three-dimensional like a parang or a kukri.

@SelfProtection95 Try Machete Specialist for a full array of cutting tools...including the famous british Martindale Crocodile...the best there is !

Saya suka parang ni kawan...terbaik

Oh, Andrew, Happy New Years, ,,, ,,, ,,,

So...how do use it???

Awesome as always. AND, you need to tell us how we can get one of those parangs!

very cool. :) can you show how to make one? i just wanna know if there's any special parts of that particular tool that make it stand out from any other machete or other large knife.

You could find them in many local hardware stores or the like of it. it's sort of a general purpose utility knife for the locals. For pure symbol of status the local royalty, aristocracy or warriors would carry a type of dagger called 'kris'.

Where can I get one that size and style?

What would be a good machete/survival knife for somewhere like the Northern territory

where can i get one in cochise county arizona?

Good explanation, but no footage of anyone using it.

@silentj005 the bear grylls one??

what is the length of the parang

Good Parangs are mostly made from the leaf spring of old lorries. Its thicker than the ones used in cars which don't need to be as thick. The thicker the parang the tougher it is. I have one with a 22inch blade but the damn thing rust every week that I've gotten tired of maintaining it.

what Parang is that? and ware would i be able to get one? im finding it hard to get hold of a parang :/

I must say that Atlanta Cutlery is selling a parang like the one in the video. I think the quality is OK according the asking price. Probably made by Windlass Steelcraft.

good work and explanation. if increase in length it gives more stoke to cut with single shot. good. thanks.its not legal in my place to handle these.

@d3pHc0n With the fine edge the grind needs to be different to attain that fine edge. If you have that on the whole length when it comes course chopping such a grind is more prone to chipping or at least won't hold the same edge. Think a hatchet type edge for the middle and fine wood carving knife on either end.

Oooh. I never would have figured out the carving technique on one of these.

@cameraguy1968 haters ?...who are they ?...where are they ? I don't see any of them around ! We are talking about TOOLS here and tools are objects We are entitled to express opinions about them anytime. But using little words like "haters" and the like is a strategy to silence others and prevent them to say what they have to say. If you like your tools that's fine. You can say good things about them, conversely I can say whatever I think about any tools in the market. PERIOD.

Parang is from.. Indonesia,Malaysia,Brunai,Bornio.......

@sheldontimm I was thinking the same thing.

Classic

So buy a cheaply made if not hand crafted tool made of low quality materials and an inferior design or make my own? I will forge one as soon as my forge thaws. I would buy one though but it would hang on my wall.

Parang isn't only using by the Malay, but nearly worth of races in South East Asia.

Hi just wondering what brand parang that is thanks

@manoloagosto thanks buddy the GOLOK made by Condor looks great! much better than the bear grylls one il be purchasing one soon thank you :)

price you are priceless (very............expensive) brother. good

I'm Malaysian :D

@ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz Actually the Prang is FAR superior a cutting tool to the RTAK. I have both an original Livesay RTAK, had an Ontario RTAK (junk) and a few parangs (I have never been on a spiritual journey by the way, unless you count Iraq, lol.) and definitely prefer the parang. You should try one before dismissing it so readily. The point about the tang is valid and you can get them pinned from the village blacksmith.

@SelfProtection95 sorry I meant machetespecialists...try it !

he didnt show you how to use it!!

Parang isn't exclusively malay, it is south-southeast asian.

Since a lot of viewers like this cutting tool, I'm givin info. about the one sold by Atlanta Cutlery. They call this parang a "southeast asian guerrilla machete" (?)...ID#402872. If by any chance someone has one, please, let us know about it's quality. Thanks.

I m Pendekar Parang & I have 8 Parang hahahaha.... nice parang U have... :)

@SelfProtection95 The bear grylls/gerber parang is crap !!! Try the GOLOK made by Condor !!!

If its a working horse you can do batoning with everything you have in hand. I've been using my old kukri to cut screws and steel sheets pushing it with a heavy hammer.

that loooks shystey as fuck.

I prefer Bolos, there's more weight in the blade for heavier chopping.
