My Parang came in

[@DishOutdoors]

WOW I didn't know you liked knives to. You are awesome. That thing is so cool. Nice chopper. You rock sister.

[@lindacampbell9187]

Lol! Thank you Dish! 🪓🔪🔥!

[@ROE1300]

👍 Nice demonstration, I hope you continue to be happy with this machete. I have the My Parang machete with the 10-1/2” blade and am very pleased with the quality of it. The one thing I did not like was the blade is only sharpened 1/2 to 3/4 of its length. After a few days with a belt sander and file I sharpened the blade back to within an inch of the handle. Now I am as happy as a rabbit in a carrot patch.

[@lindacampbell9187]

That is awesome to sharpen the blade back to within an inch of the handle!

[@smsgtbulldog]

That is one sweet looking knife!!!!!

[@lindacampbell9187]

SMSgt. Bulldog, it sure is a sweet lookin knife! Glad you like it!

2:42 Pronounce as "bee"-"door". Bidor is a small town in Malaysia. Now the town is well known for parang (pronounce as "par"-"rung") making. There are several varieties or styles of parang - Malaysian traditional machete. Yours is a "duku chandong" parang style. Hope you like your parang as much as I love my 10" version myparang. :)

[@lindacampbell9187]

IMsang2026, just love the history you shared with me about the parang and how to pronounce it correctly! I apologize for "butchering" the names. Fantastic!

[@OLDMANTEA]

Bidor is known for chicken biscuits

[@cids1599]

Really nice video. It's so nice to see a lady enjoy My Parang machete. You got good taste and you definitely know a Quality Utilitarian Tool. Bidor Malaysian Parangs are built tough. It should last a lifetime.

[@lindacampbell9187]

Well thank you very much Cids1599! 🙂

[@cowboykelly6590]

😛 That is a beauty . I love knifes of all kinds & Fatwood , so this was really interesting to watch . Thank you for the show . Much Respect and Blessings to you and your family . 🤠🖖

[@lindacampbell9187]

You're awesome Cowboy Kelly! I always look forwards to your comments! You always make my day brighter! Blessings to you and your family also!🙂🙂🙂

[@adamharris1038]

Nice video. I like the machete. Beautiful design with wooden handle.. 👍👍

[@NadirOutdoorDynamics]

Awesome, glad you like it. Perhaps you should try the 10 inch version, probably more suitable for your work. The one you have looks like the 12 inch heavy version , a bit heavy in my opinion . Have a great day!

[@lindacampbell9187]

You are right about it being a bit heavy! Thank you @NadirOutdoorDynamics for suggesting the 10 inch version!

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

What a great looking knife . Now you can make Lemon Parang Pie. Hand made I bet.

[@lindacampbell9187]

Ahhahaha! Steve's WoodWorking & Homestead, that is TOO funny! Love the pun! 🍋

[@lp.670]

LOL there's one thing about it when you get your mindset on something come hell or high water you going to do it or buy it great video loved it 🤗

[@lindacampbell9187]

You know me very well L P.! Well said! Glad you loved the video. I'm always glad when you come by my channel L P.!

[@SunsetBayBonnie]

im almost thinking if there is a way to attach a lanyard to that handle to put on your wrist to give you extra security when using that blade.🤔

[@lindacampbell9187]

Interesting thought SunsetBay Bonnie. It is a little heavy especially compared to my SOG.

[@MrOldclunker]

Can't say I'm a fan of the handle design as I like a lanyard to be able to keep it tight in my grip at all times. I have Condor Village Parang and they use to offer them reasonably priced until people started buying them. Now they have more than doubled in price in the last two years.

[@lindacampbell9187]

Hello MrOldclunker! Thanks for coming by. The Condor village Parang has a very interesting handle. I'm used to the Machetes we had when my dad was stationed in Panama Canal Zone. Simple, ubiquitous and lightweight compared to the parang.

[@louiev4127]

Sweet blade Linda, please be careful hacking stuff with it...that solo bonfire is sweet too.

[@lindacampbell9187]

louie V thank you for the admonition! Especially practice caution and safety when I'm processing fatwood! Gotta make sure my fingers and hands are out of the way! I love the solo! I decided to get the large and I certainly don't regret it. It was a bit pricy though.

[@artemusbowdler7508]

Link to blade?

[@randomnonsense146]

I was just looking into getting one of those!! KZbin algorithm finally doin something right. Is that the 12 inch parang?

[@lindacampbell9187]

Yes it is.

[@randomnonsense146]

@@lindacampbell9187 thanks!! Just ordered one :-)

[@NavyAssassinOnBLAST]

Gorgeous machete 😊

[@notfoolediknowthetruth3101]

No regrets....but i custom ground the blade to perform a broader variety of tasks. Throat needs sharpening to whittle or make fine kindling. Efficient comfortable secure grip. Easy on the wrist.....this is a viable go to for any B.O.B. It is in mine.

[@lindacampbell9187]

Oh wow! Thank you for that tip! Yeah, I have a machete from Panama Canal Zone and it's much easier on my wrist than the parang

[@oldschoolwithamoderntwist6074]
