Ben,as the video dwells on safety while using the parang I'd like to make a comment on the safe way to remove and replace a parang from its sheath - even though your parang's sheath is not a conventional one. When removing and replacing the parang, the dayaks who were the originators of this style of parang (called the duku chandung or Ray Mears style) never hold on to the bottom part of the sheath as a safety measure in case the bottom of sheath has been cut through. In which case your hand can be badly cut by the blade as it slides back into the sheath. Instead the sheath is always held by the top portion.Just an observation. No offence meant,

Interesting. Well, there are other ways to cut safely using the parang. As long as you're swinging the blade away from you, you'll be fine. If the arc returns towards your body, just make sure there is something heavy in the way. Nice way to use the lanyard though. Personally like most locals I don't use the lanyard.

Orion Sugar cane harvesters don't have them. They chop with huge bolos and machetes all dal. I think the lanyard just protects against losing the knife in case your up the tree or on a hillside. Would be good too if you're in a fight.

Marcosa Tanas That's true and most 'traditional' users don't use a lanyard either, but AFAIAC that isn't the point. I have used a cane knife (both the short and long handled version) and you are right, no lanyard. From what I can tell from personal use a lanyard is more there for other people's safety rather than user safety.

@mrchin75624 жыл бұрын
It's a machete local to South-East Asia. Common around Malaysia and Indonesia. You can probably attach a wooden handle to a car leaf spring and grind one out. The parang has a distinctive shape with a distinctive handle. It's edge is slightly curved. The back is curved away from the edge, then plunges in the opposite direction near the end. It doesn't normally have a full tang. The handle is hooked to catch the fingers. If you want a tempered edge, heat it up and plunge it red hot into some used motor oil. The edge is sharpened into a convex curve.

There is no need to split large wood; why waste your time and energy when there are better wood around. It rains alot here, and the trick in starting fire with wet wood is in the fire starter, that is all you need. I have no problem using parang to cut six inches diameter wood or split three inches wood, if there is a good reason..

I use dammar resin ( very common and easy to find in the forest) or/and wax to start fire. Yes the wet wood will be smoky, but it does not take long to dry those wood if you know how to do it. My normal trip to the forest last about one month, and when ever possible I try not to use wood for cooking ( yes the smoke will chase away the animals that I I study). There is no reason at all to have open fire burning all night, and no native/local would do such a thing unless they are smoking meat or fish.
