My review of a Malaysian Bidor Parang (s71.co/3lUQZZz ), with handle upgrade done by MyParang.com. 5160 Steel, 12 inch blade length. Here is the factory where these are made: th-cam.com/video/6j3h4BRrMXI/w-d-xo.html. Much like the Thai E-nep, Filipino Barong, and Nepali Kukri, these blades are extremely strong, I recommend them for rough wilderness and survival tasks. Enjoy the big steel! :]
I wonder if you ground a small portion of the blade super sharp near the handle where you never make contact with the chop sharp enough to do some slicing style tasks for when you don’t have a knife handy but want to cut like weed whip line or an apple or whatever I could see this replacing 3 tools in a pinch
I like watching your reviews. I like that you beat the snot out the tools. I’ll often go back and rewatch your videos. I hope you’re well too. The Parangs are a good tool.
MyParang is a solid machete! Machete is our EDC in the province back in the Philippines. My favorite is Duku Chandong 12"....I also have the 8" for kitchen use. Great Video thanks!
Good video..I'm gearing up now, I got to get a good machete..I'll be off grid for six months soon as winter gets here I'm gonna be at lake Thurmond south Carolina ... camping an kyackin...I'm gearing up for that an planning on hitting the lake around November...I've done this before .it's a lot of fun to get off grid .I'm retired ,so a job don't get in my way, cause I'm retired .
Great video thanks for share The parangs are the swiss tool of the jungle in south east Asia. Like the machete in central and south America. Saludos Amigo
Took me awhile to get a good look at your "improvised" mallet? Maybe you could give it a quick very brief, (20seconds(ish)) statement on how you made it? I’m interested "mostly" about the HANDLE, and how it was put on. Either way, thanks
Thanks, bro! I carved it form a single large piece of firewood with my Estwing Carpenter's Hatchet, and then wrapped the handle with some electrical tape.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives THANK YOU, I understand now. I had thought, it was some kind of "bicycle" handle…that somehow…screwed into the wood block! Thanks for clarifying.
I'm aiming to get this by the end of the year cos I'm going off grid. This is an awesome review and really helpful! Gotta tell you though - it's pronounced paH-raHng 🤣🤣
I like the Thai machetes, but they are hard to find now. But whether Nepali Kukri, Thai E-nep, or Malaysian Parang or Golok, they are all forged 5160 steel. So they all have the same basis, just in different blade shapes.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives I just want something that can perform the most Camp Tasks. Looking @ Golok / Parangs / Machetes etc. I already have Condor Discord & Buck 119.
@@SilverGoldVideos Kukri : thicker and heavier gives it an excellent chopping power, but the weight will drain your energy and stamina faster. Suitable for normal camping where energy and stamina conservation is not an issue (you bring your own food supply, fire starter kit, not many crafting etc) Parang/golok : thinner and lighter, slightly inferior than kukri or axe in chopping power, but nimbler and easier to control, less strain and drain on your energy and stamina. Suitable for a survival type camping where energy and stamina conservation is your priority where you need to craft many things, hunt-skin-clean for food, etc. Both are fine for the typical camping tasks. It is only a matter of which one conserves your energy and stamina the most.
I remember many years ago, when Junglecrafty showed these locally made parangs,, I'd love to have one of these, but I already have a Condor Bushcraft Parang, so, is the cost of one of these, worth it,, ?? ps,, my Condor is perfectly modified now,, 😊
I have the Condor, the steel on the Bidor is a bit better. Bidors have a tapered tang that will dissipate force, the tang is thickest near the "guard," comes to a point near the pommel.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives yeah sir, today I've done chopping cow ribs and my father chopping 4 legs of cow.. The edge not rolls or chipping, just shocked after cleaning my parang duku chandong.. So, so tough this steel, only we need cleaning without water for prevent from rusting..
Another get video I’ll admit I’ve looked at them just thought they were expensive. But I think I’m still gonna go for the skrama 240 they are a little over a hundred with the amazing sheath. What do you think?
I would definitely go with this parang, and get a cheap Kydex or even save for a decent sheath for it, it’s worth every penny!! Think I’m about to order the “heavy” version of this Parang, I’ve had a plastic handle Bidor for over 10 yrs now and it’s just amazing how it chops, idk what it is that parang forward angle and rat tang just does it better than everything(choppers/machetes) else in my lineup it feels!! Love choking up for fine carving on the thinner part of the parang, feels great almost just like a smaller 4inch or so fixed blade, it just does it all, And the convex grind😍 Carrying the Bidor parang with a silky saw is my perfect combo, and both together are STILL lighter to carry than an axe! Of course I always still got my old case stockman or sak in my pocket, and BRK Gunny LT on my hip! But if I had to pick ONE cutting tool I could carry, I think I could get by with just a parang!
This IS the END of the world. We are at the final years, after this chaos, when the one world leader appears, as a "savior" of humanity, then it's only 7 years left, fro mthe day that one appears. You all know his name, as you all should have known, where the chaos that the world is going through, come from, and what's the purpose of all these. Jesus proved for one more. We have seen all the signs, He told as, that we will see, before His coming, all except the false prophete, which is either already here, or will appear in the near future. That's not an opinion, that's facts. God bless you all!

Thanks so much for this review I just placed an order on one! Happy New Year & Best of Health to You!!
Thank you, my friend! I very much appreciate your gift and I hope you enjoy the blade!

The Parangs are a good tool.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying them!
Form Malaysia here😊
My father use this and i have one.. always have it every time we went to the dusun or land...
MyParang is a solid machete! Machete is our EDC in the province back in the Philippines. My favorite is Duku Chandong 12"....I also have the 8" for kitchen use. Great Video thanks!
Thanks! You are my kin folk!
Further up from the handle, the section where the Bidor logo stamp is, serves as handle for better control in wood work.
Yes indeed!
Love the Bidor knives! Stellar performers.
Aw yeah, thanks for watching!
This exact parang is sold in Malaysia for just under USD70 under different online shopping platforms like shopee and lazada.

Sounds great! Might be we will ALL be off the grid when it collapses :]
@@WeAllJuggleKnives absolutely right..best learn how to survive now while u can...I learne alot from your videos an I keep watching an learning
I put mine in my get home bag. Light weight, sharp, tough af, and very useful.
Excellent choice, this is a life saver.
Great video thanks for share

It reminds me of Condors offerings. I would be curious if either of the two have any an advantages
1:47 those some strong hits, ronnie Coleman, imagine how hard he can hit with it, over 9000
For sure, he would only need one swing :]
What's the best over all Camp knife / machete?
Nepali Kukri / Parang or ?

I would bet on the Parang with my life
Did you get the normal 12" or the heavy 12" version?
The heavy
Great video, I was looking for a good jungle knife and will now buy this one.
Excellent, they are a great company, I have three of their parangs and goloks.
Great review! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

It is worth it. Its a rat tailed tang so its easier for chopping bcuz weight distribution is more to the edge.

Have you seen MY Parangs 'Lading'?
Yes indeed, looks good, a faster version of the parang desire.
Keep the good videos comeing
Terbaik..Parang, Golok have a different…mayb after this u can see “tempur” with Parang as a weapon
Awesome machete bro! Have you seen my contest video?
