It's the most common big knife/machete design you will see in the Philippines. It's a great tool. Almost every household has one or more. The only difference being the Philippine "Itak" usually have handle scales made out of water buffalo horns, natural patina on uncoated blade.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

You bring up a well argued point. There really is no one "do it all tool". As matter of fact, despite all the hoohah regarding brands and designers, the companies don't even make the effort to explain to buyers why or for what purpose they create all these traditionally based or hybridized designs. I'd like to meet some of these people in the knife industry just to see if they're smarter than we think or misguided people with crazy notions about blades and marketing strategies. I feel Joe Flowers should be marketing the stuff he designs rather than just being some guy that people talk to at the shows. I liked his tutorials on how to actually use parangs and other machetes. If they want people to buy them, educating us about their products would help achieve that goal. And then of course considering customer feedback. Some do and some seem not to care too much what the people want. Maybe it's the fault of buyers/collectors who over analyze everything or wannabe armchair experts who argue how a slight difference in length or thickness, etc., makes a blade better or ineffective or just isn't right for a task.

Great review. Thanks Gabe. I like the depth you went into on the handle design pros and cons.

[@perry2768]

I have it, it is a very spartan and rustic beast, it is too unbalanced forward 2 cm less blade and it would have been perfect, the steel is good but the temper is low and the convex very wide perhaps it is better not re-profile it. The sheath is good and comfortable but the leather is of medium quality. I like it so bad it's bad. Nice video thank you ....

[@jobelb.garcela9476]

That form of the blade is ideal for twigs, weeds, banana stem and leaves or sugar cane. We cleared hillsides with more speedy job by using a bolo with a straight form of blades. What you have is a curvature form.

[@gabehumphries5483]

Jobal Doctolero very much a leaf spring bolo blade. a great tool

[@davidlarue2492]

I love the bolo design it’s one of my favorite designs. Great video my friend.

[@gabehumphries5483]

David Larue Mahalo for stopping by

[@BallistaClub]

Hi buddy, This is the best video of the Jungolo out there! I am totally addicted to this bolo profile and I own 2 very similar. Your video and the fact the I own the village Parang made me buy this one. Currently I'm awaiting delivery from Finland with the amazing Jugolooooo! Peace and all the best for you!

[@Cynocehali]

2020 excited to use this again in the summer! It's such an adaptable knife.

[@usher_jh]

thank you for picking up some coconuts and food prepping. i feel like reviewers of these blade types dont do this enough or at all.

[@mrfixit011]

Yes I could c grinding the handle down an wrapping it with Wilson wrap cool vid thank's

[@gabehumphries5483]

mrfixit011 I believe this handle was intentionally made so you can modify it to your hand. Mahalo for watching

[@ArmanGAcilo]

Nice design of the blade

[@knifesharpeningnorway]

Looks great both the blade and the dude wielding it and the video rock on my good man 😁

[@gabehumphries5483]

knife sharpening norway much mahalo

[@shovelhead8]

I like it. Thank you for the video, Gabe

[@Primitivebearknives]

Awesome. I agree with all your opinions on it. It's definitely a BFK(big f****** knife) over a machete. And the handle would be much better rounded off. I think sanding it down would be better and I live along SC coast to so oil is a must for it. Only thing I don't like is the sheath. I'd like more of a full sleeve sheath rather a half sleeve. That's just me tho, still great quality leather.

[@gabehumphries5483]

SC bushcraft backwoods it's hard to hate on the leather sheath because it's such high quality LOL I really like Condor leather sheaths even though sometimes there's definitely some poor engineering designs. Mahalo for stopping by

[@Primitivebearknives]

H.I.S Survival I agree they are great quality sheaths. Can't hate on that at all. I guess personal preference is a factor on the design tho. Either way condor uses great leather for their sheaths

[@JunkyardFox]

great video, dude!

[@gabehumphries5483]

Junkyard Fox Mahalo brah

[@raystebbins8477]

it does look like it's got some weight good first impression keep um coming

[@LiveMusicOntario]

If nothing else, you did a fine public service at 6:00 by advising to trim down cuttings close to the ground. I was happily treading my quarter mile deep bush lot for years and the machete was handy to clean up around the original survey markers and spray some blaze orange paint to refresh the markers. Then one year the lot next to me changed owners and the new guy had driven iron rebar all along the property line, sticking up 2 feet high, every ten to twenty feet, and rust brown, not marked at all. Man I was pissed, thinking how I'd trip over one in the thick bush and skewer my chest. What an idiot. And he never came up on weekends anyway after doing that.

[@MasterK9Trainer]

Beautiful blade by the way. I wish there was a straight version. I appreciate the curves, but for quick use and touch up sharpening, and as a loaner, I prefer a straight edge. For a readily available grab and go tool to use for a few cuts then to clean, wipe, oil and put away, I like straight edges and flat sides and easy to care for.

[@sethnicholls7861]

I know I'm super late to the party but check out the Condor Wastelander for a almost perfectly straight version of this type/shaped design machete.

[@FreshBreadPhuket]

Thank you , very good review . I think 5-6mm. spine in this shape should be called Golok , wide use in Indonesia , Malaysia and south of Thailand .

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Have seen friend from Burma sharpen a golok on a flat spot on a log using a little clay and some ash from the fire

[@N0tRe1aly]

Love your vids man Vary interesting to say the least

[@gabehumphries5483]

Greenman Bushcraft and survival much mahalo brah

[@wazzap6077]

I was between bolo engineer machete and jungolo but I think jungolo it has more stability on the hand from what I see

[@Wildwestwrangler]

I have the pack golok and agree totally with sheath. I'm in the massive hand club, so the handles are perfect for me. Of course I'm almost 2.5 of you at least lol.

[@ravenwood1405]

Would be great to see you guys on Texas News Studio live stream on youtube..Alot of good folks in the chat that talk about prepping,survival / shtf .

[@gabehumphries5483]

RavenWood I'll check it out mahalo

[@leestephenson4952]

Do people use ironwood for any construction Gabe? Seems debarked & cured, it wood last forever. Thanks

[@gabehumphries5483]

not good for construction

[@SantiagoMenendez]

Aloha Gabe! Awesome video, looks like you are having lots of fun. Do you still have your jungolo? Any long term thoughts on it? Mahalo for your videos! 🤙

[@ForgedThroughNature]

aye dat good

[@jtscustomcutlery317]

That water looks mid evil 🤙🏻

[@barrybueler3356]

Got a few shorter kukris looking for a larger machete though kinda swaying torwards the Ontario bushcraft machete but maybe u will change my mind .Ontario is made in America not al Salvador both have walnut handles but Ontario uses 5160 steel which is better than 1070 probably willing to spend a little more for the Ontario but we will see I will say the jungalo is a good looking machete though definitely thicker than the Ontario but I already have two thicker shorter machetes peace out my bratha great vid kid 🧒✊🏿

[@EduardoGarcia-fj2uc]

Excelent video. Looks great I dont have words to say the right felling. It's awesome. But if condor manufacture in 5160H or D2 steel It's better. Equal to conan or excalibur sword.

[@danielslater4092]

Hey Gabe I've been thinking about getting the new king kukri, but I haven't seen any good videos on it yet

[@frozenturtlefarts1025]

What do you use to protect against rust?

[@gabehumphries5483]

Frozen Turtlefarts I use FrogLube

[@frozenturtlefarts1025]

H.I.S Survival interesting

[@brianf9619]

How would you rate the Junglo ?

[@gabehumphries5483]

I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10.

[@deathbyastonishment7930]

Hey mate, ever used an Aranyik?

[@gabehumphries5483]

Death By Astonishment yes I have an Enep. Honestly it's a little too much more of a farm tool then a bushcrafter survival knife. Mahalo for watching
