This is a trail and grass clearing parang. The tip is used for trail clearing and its seldom a full swing. Full swings cause deflection that means cots deep clean cuts. For axe type chopping i use the mini duku. I also wear leather gloves and arm lenght cut sleeves which i pack in the sheath at all times. Never pull, load and chock your parang anywhere past your cheek! Not gonna say this again. I put down the axe and hatch for this do all piece of equipment. The mini duku that is. For larger chopping i use a folding camp saw and a silky bigboy for cutting anything over 3 inches.

Very good axe for bushcraft hipsters

its a $21 knife hell of a deal for $21 people keep trying to compare these cheaper knives to $300 knives lol

Chro-van = Chrome Vanadium

Wouldn't it matter also on how big you are as a person? If you are a 6'10 dude this is probably too small. If you are 5'6 on the other hand probably a good tool?

Unusual that the handle says "Gransfors Bruks" and the head says "Gransfors Bruk;" in 2023 mine has went back to "Bruk" vs "Bruks" on the handle. Anyone know what that was all about from the factory?

Parang som si zakupil, ale pre mna je zle vyvazeny. Kupil som si nepalske khukri a to mi sadlo lepsie. Mam iny parang condor a ten mam v. rad.

I recall almost every boy in Japan had this knife in the early 70s to sharpening pencils. Mechanized sharpeners were already available but that was a good lesson for the boys to learn how to use knives.

When you "pop it" never move the axe. Only move the wood. You dont want that motion and force on your axe.

The other condor parangs have a superior grind thickness and length. I tried this model and gave it away. It has no lower fine work edge

If its not tight enough you can peen it a bit more. As you will probably need to do occasionally throughout life.

Greatest pocket knifes made ever

Very well said practical review. I appreciate it. I have one of these. It was the second I got after the Outdoor axe which I love as well. I really like mine for regular cooking in the house and camp cooking is very very handy as a knife with much more control and safe control. I love it to throw in bag don't even know its there. On the belt its short and light don't even know its there. I got a belt sheath from Treeman Knives in Michigan. I got the tooled one.

Sagoi

Just got one for 8 bucks at a knife show. It was pretty sharp already...I am certain the handle is brass.

FYI: I bought the Szco high carbon Bowie on Amazon also. The literature on Amazon says it is 420HC steel which is not 1095. I read some other Szco literature that stated it was a D2 steel.

The guy with the husky doesn’t know how to chop wood he was going straight the majority of the time

Army. Veteran. I make knifes. Large knifes out of. Large. Saw blades. That cut. Concrete. Best steel in world. Hooah

i have to run mine thru the belt sander every time i chop dead wood with it to fix the rolls and chips😂 still like it tho- recontoured the handle, cut the guard, and blued the blade

Also because the blade doesn’t lock and is 2.999 inches long, we can legally carry it in the UK as a utility knife for work if you open boxes or work in gardens, fishing, camping etc.

These are wonderful little knives - the handle is blued then coated steel, the reason the blade may be a little dull is because the curved blade touches the inside of the steel handle, dulling the edge slightly when closed

Ive had mine sence 1998 its a damn good knife if you treat it right

Nice video review, thanks for the details on this hatchet. I’m thinking of getting one

Yeah bro, my favorite blade too.

Does it come Sharp ?

I would prefer if the blade was a bit thinner for slicing. But it has the same vibe as the svord peasent knife from New Zealand.

I just picked one up. Not shaving sharp, but okay for utility use. I wasn't surprised by that in a $25 knife. I expect it will respond well to the stone. Been carrying it for just a couple of days and it's already proven handy.

I bought two knives exactly like this one at a gunshow back in the early, early 2000's. They were made in Pakistan, had crappy if functional sheathes, and were literally $5 a piece. So I got one each for myself and a buddy. We were teenagers and spent our free time running through the woods hacking, slashing, and chopping our way to creekbeds and makeshift campsites. We used these, threw them, and beat the hell out of them. And all they ever did was ask for more. For the money, we loved them. It was nice to watch your video and take a walk down memory lane.

I've had this knife for 20 sums years now its always been a great tool

I bought this knife a few years ago bc it was on sale at a big box store. I’ve been using it as a hunting, camping, and general purpose knife on my homestead. This knife is really tough and holds up pretty well. Definitely one of my favorites.

I sent back the 1st one I received from Amazon, because the handle was too messed up. The 2nd one I received was 1_mm thicker. I measured it at 3.5mm to 4_mm (the spine thickness was not consistent).

I bought this knife in order to practice sharpening with my Work Sharp Ken Onion. Despite the fit and finish issues, this is a beastly knife for the money. It's full tang, when $300 Bowies aren't full tang. The blade is decently thick. Mine didn't come sharp, but it still destroyed a wooden pallet with no damage. I think I'm going to buy another, and make it a project knife.

I too have a GB Mini Hatchet made by the designer, and stamped LP, its a beautiful tool which fits perfectly in the hand and is a joy to own. Since buying my Mini Hatchet I have added a GB Wildlife Hatchet and Small Forest Axe and they're beautifully made tools. I saw an Old Jimbo video in which he demonstrated what could be achieved with a mini hatchet, and that was a real eye opener.

I fully expected these fuels to perform identically - thanks for proving me wrong! I guess I'll just have to drink my booze and burn my fuel!

do you have nail polish on????

produk yg sangat bagus. tapi sayangnya terlalu mahal buat saya

Как можно говорить о ноже и не показать его в работе???

Where do u get this

Own several Entreks and they never fail to impress. Ray's heat treat brings 440c to new levels of performance.

It's made of the same steel they used for samurai swords

thats a ten year old axe? do you use it?

awesome

I don't know if it was a slip up in speech, but it's not 1095 carbon steel. It's 420HC steel.

I think I just got home from a pawn shop with this knife. At least it looks so identical. How can I tell if it's stainless or carbon? I throws sparks like crazy on the belt grinder when I was repairing the edge for sure.

Legal

Come back, I just discovered your channel

the use of the cardboard is a great way of DIY recycling

Considering it’s Bowie and not an ax not too shabby.

Is it possible to buy these wonderfull knives online?
