The most useful tool in a tropical environment is a parang, or machete. It’s of more use than any other cutting tool but it can like in my case be paired up with a good knife for more intricate cutting tasks. The size is important but not as much as you’d think, it really depends on the use. If your trailblazing use a long one, if it’s all about camp craft a short one. Bit of both like me something in the middle
The Duku Chandong, sometimes referred to as the "Ray Mears", the parang originates from East Malaysia. It's a general-purpose tool, and what sets it apart from other parangs is the sheepsfoot's blade tip and how the handle is elevated. The tip is very strong and suitable for prying, and the upward handle causes the blade to arrive first followed by the knuckles. This feature works great especially if you are cutting near the ground or near a solid object such as a big tree trunk because it prevents you from bashing your knuckles. The 5160 carbon steel blade has a slight upward curve, which favours slicing and chopping methods. This type of cut is very effective at cutting small plants as well as thicker wood or vegetation.
MY Parang cutting tools are made exclusively by hand in Malaysia using the finest material available and using traditional methods.
The blades are sourced from Bidor, Perak, world-renowned for their differentially hard hardened 5160 carbon steel blades; while the wood for the handles is sourced from Croatia. MY Parang make use of the traditional rat tail construction for their parangs as it is a proven design that has withstood the test of time and evolution. They have added a brass pin under the collar for added confidence
The Mora Pro S Stainless knife is a bushcraft knife of professional quality. It has a blue and black TPE rubber and hard plastic handle, ergonomically designed for better grip friction. You’re sure that this knife won’t slip from your hands that easily, even during wet weather.

Ridiculous. The guy recognizes that he is never used the parang in the tropics, yet he recommend it as first choice for the tropics. Unbelievable bs. Go use a machete, a golock, a bolo, a parang in the tropics and then come and recommend one you actually USED to the internet.
What is it you are disagreeing with? Plenty of people have used all the tools you mention in different tropical environments, they each have a use and place depending on ecology and intended function. The thing about researching subjects such as this is you fall on the body of work others have done to make an informed choice. You Don't have to personally run your own experiment every time you want gear or information. Knowledge is what guides me to obtaining the best gear for my future tasks. It would be ridiculous to take everything just so I could run my own experiments. I'm fairly sure I can also choose and recommend the best sled to take to Antarctica. Yet I've never been. Plenty of people have however and there Knowledge is passed on. Thanks for watching
