👍 Nice review. Thank you. I miss the old Equip2Endure crew.
I bought one of the 10” duku My Parang from Blade HQ in 2024; it was still about $100, but did come with a heavy nylon sheath.
I like 90% of my parang, it is extremely well made and suits my needs exceptionally well.
The 5% I am not pleased about is that only about 6.5” of the 10” blade is sharpened. The portion at the handle end is very thick out about 3.5”.
Having said that, with some cautious work on a belt sander and with some hand files I was able to get the blade razor sharp to within an inch of the handle.
Now is a very useful tool and I am 100% pleased with it.
Its not made by Bidor, it is made by a factory in Bidor(a small town in Malaysia) which supplies the parang blades to myparang to put a wood handle on. Also in Malaysia the aborigines(orang asli) prefer rat tail tangs without a pin in the handle because it would be easier to fix in case the handle comes loose in the field which doesn't happen most of the time even with daily or hard use of the parang.
You're right!!! It's yuan kwong loong
These ones are epoxied in place though, so unless they handle breaks they're unlikely to slip like some other parangs
bought the Duku cause of this video. Got it today and damnit its awesome
great parangs. the ducu chandong feels and works better than any other parang I've tried. the full tang condors are not as well balanced, heavier, awkward, do not obsorb shock as well. these challenge the full tang necessity theory. the blade is so strong and handle so easily repaired. the plastic handled bidors do have a metal pin and can be put back on easily if coming loose. see junglecrafty youtube chanel for more info. I've never had a handle come loose myself
Duku chandong is more easy for chopping
Bit of a misnomer as these are basically full tang it's just tapered.
Duku chandong is a must everytime I go for hiking or camping very reliable piece
Yes..Duku chondong 'Parang' very quality material
iron carbon and perfect machete,we call 'Menyempoh' or ' Sempoh'. Perfect design from Bee dor,Malaysia.
Mengada2 la ko eja Bee Dor, Bidor la
I recomended u to use "Duku Chandong" from the Iban tribe of Sarawak Malaysia..more effective for jungle tracking
duku candong and golok are very good style of blade if you choose to go hardcore.rat tail were more comfort vs fulltang if you chopper xtvt more than an hour...
Mohd Reza Jasmi duku chandong more better..
Say Heah James Montana, I just got a modufied Ka-Bar Johnson Adventure Parangatang. I bought it as a combo for tge Potbelly both knives impressed me so much especially for tge price and the steel Ka-Bar used on these two beauts. Both came out sharp, also tge black handles on the Ka-Bar Swabbie and the Zomstro are interchangable. Awesome especially they are made in tge U.S.A. at that price. and actually are easy to carry on person, I use the Parangatang as my Summer Long Knife and I can chop and baton with it. Tge Potbelly for a large knife, I can see myself using it as a 1knife carry option, especially when I pick my finger and thumb to do fine carving, again it's a big knife. I wasn't trying to contradict your video, but just a F.Y.I.
I will stick with my Golok and Village Parang from Condor Tool and Knife, both come with a nice leather sheath, and are full tang. But only made from 1075 high carbon steel. So you choose.
James Hart agree with you.
I treasure my Golok for green woodworking, shaping and such. My duku does about the same at cutting hardwood or bamboo, If I had just one it would be the Golok.
How am I supposed to see how well the blades work if you fast forward through the footage of you actually using them?
A fellow could get one with a plastic handle and no sheath then replace the handle with the one one would prefer and sheath it as one would like. Thanks for the info. Great video.
A good parang, you should try other types of machetes such as the Sumatra koduk, which is amazing
Say Heah James, I'm defenetly looking into the My Parang, Since my Johnson Adventure Parangatang is doing great, But the traditional look got my attention, Again Thanx.
Looks nice
they look awesome!
Hello, you can tell me ALL especification of the blade of duku chandong parang? please.
Nice work on video
Great video James how can you get one of those.
Kristyanna Virgona you can either buy directly from outdoor dynamics in Malyasia or you can get them from Blade HQ www.bladehq.com/?search=my+parang
Seriously, Thanx.
I have and use the Duku Parangs from My Parang in 10in. and 12in. and both are very good blades. Been trying to find the wood sheaths as used in Malaysia for them with no luck so far.
Duku Chandong 10" and 12", which should we choose ?
10" too short for my liking... I have been using chandung for many years.
If u prefer a heavier blade, u should choose the 12 inch, if not, choose the 10 inch.
Nice
which one is better.. bear grylls or My parang?
hmm dont know but i like the traditional look and feeling
They are running the edge a little harder now
Rat tail?? Not for me. I always got problems with the handle. Prefer more to full tang.
duku chandong i think is the best parang....
@faultroy I think you have choose the right one.. plastic handle was just fine..nothing wrong.. purchased parang at MY PARANG with sheath and wooden handle..with the logo on the blade will increase the price...but it's much better....
It's made by chop Kwan yuan loong.
That guy is just one of the many blacksmith of the golok and parang and they r not really using traditional methods to make this parang and golok, its more of a commercialized version. U can still find a traditional blacksmiths in Malaysia and the quality of the blades, handles and sheaths are pretty much more quality wise.
Hate the high speed video. .I'm more interested in seeing the parang do the work rather than the end result. This video didnt tell me much of anything. Need to see it in real time
For $100, that collar should not be loose. The problem there is the more time that goes by, the more it will keep working itself loose.
David Mm i have duku chandong with plastik handle without pin and rat tail.using more than 30 years and still tough.
The only way to separate the blade and the handle is to destroy the wood handle...they have tried that before...
Pronounce it as 'par + rung'....
Thanks for the review, loose parts,for one hundred dollars I'll pass.
@Jay M some people just loved to make this kind of comments..its just a simple thing to fix it urself..just use an industrial grade glue and wallahhh..its good as new 😁
You could tap a small dent with a tiny punch then it'd never come off.
Just how exactly did you trust your life to it? Ballocks. You are just playing with knives.
