Ray Mears style parang - machete review

few people have written asking where they can get a Malaysian pairing. You know they are out of Malaysia and to be honest, I didn't know anyone who exported Malaysian meringues. You know, you certainly don't. You know this one, the basic plastic handle type.

which you know I've been using in the previous videos, but then a guy named Amar Nadia from Outdoor Dynamics contacted me to tell me that he actually made it export pairings, so I looked at his website and, in fact, he does, he sells and what he calls the benton

parang

, which I think is this one for 30 Ringgits and it's about 6 pounds, so if you want to order one and go to WWE Amex, send it to me and you can buy one from him, obviously I have to pay for shipping.

Also, I have nothing to do with outdoor dynamics so don't contact me, but if you want Malaysia Prime that's a place to go, the only thing I would say is you know if you are going to buy one of these. You know, they're only six pounds, but the weakness of these is the handle, so you know you're going to pay quite a bit in shipping. I assume, as far as I understand, you know if I was in the UK and placed the order. one of these would be that I would only do it if I was really thinking about changing the handle and putting a new handle on it and making a nice case for it, so it's more of that type of project because you know it's going to be pretty expensive otherwise. for what you get when you add shipping anyway, I had a look at their website and I saw this Perrin, so I wanted to

it today and you know it's one that's probably familiar to a lot of you that you know see rainy and You know, this is the

style

he prefers and the name is called Duke and Ong sofa and it comes from East Malaysia so I haven't seen many of them here in Peninsular Malaysia where you know the preference is more for a heterosexual couple.

So I really wanted to try one of these and ordered one for myself. Now they're quite expensive, this is a hundred and forty, take it, so you know, that's just under thirty quid, okay, so let's start by taking a look at On the Piranha itself, the blade is about to bend just twelve inches and a half long and you know it's very different than the ones I've been using because it's this shape almost like an upside down cookie so I mean the advantage of this. It's meant to keep your knuckles out of the way and you know as soon as I picked it up it feels very different than the tips I've been using and it feels like it really wants to cut but I also feel like I don't have as much control over it as I do. with straight peeling, but it may just be because I'm not used to it, but if you compare it, this is the primer that I put the wooden handle in, you know you can.

You can immediately see the difference in the way this one almost points out, what bothers me about this one, you know, it goes in the other direction, so you know they're quite different piranhas, which is why this piranha handle is made from Lemaitre , which I think is just a lime tree and you can see that it has such a beautiful finish, you know, too beautiful a finish for me. I don't like shiny handles, you just know you don't get a good grip and it's been shaped too much, you know you can. You see this bump here and you know that's going to give you blisters, so you know I'm going to sand that down a little bit, apparently there's no retaining pin here.

I mean, I could take it off, but I still wanted to check it, but I'm pretty sure there isn't, so you know, it's a rat tail that Tang basically holds on by friction and the blade is made from Land Rover leaf springs apparently old, so, being a Land Rover owner, I said we really appreciated it. There's quite a bit of recycling going on there, so you know, it's kind of a pretty important parameter. Okay, this one weighs about 500 grams according to my scale, but that's okay, it doesn't feel too heavy fuel. The cover is correct, you already know that.

Beautifully made, it makes me realize how much more skill this person doesn't have, so you have a hole there through the wood to carry the belt strap a little bit so you like the pants up here for me. that we can just sand it, this is held together with glue, which makes it look good, but you know it's not very good for the jungle because the glue can come off. I think it's really wet, so I think we'll probably tie it up. this a little bit up because I don't have to look away and yes, that's the sheet.

I mean, my feeling from looking at this is that you clearly know that it's not just aimed at people you know who want to use what you know in the jungle. but also for people who are looking for something slightly ornamental, so the finish, you know, is a little bit over the top, but I mean there's nothing wrong with that, it's just nothing because some people turn and can't change, so okay, what I'm going to do. Do it, I'm just going to make some modifications. The grille at night isn't fantastic because it has this kind of polished copper ring here, but again, that's the easy fix I have, just put a little bit of Gaffa Tape in there and it'll give a little bit more friction here, either. that she should grab control of the power, that's fine, so let me make some changes and of course the most important change is to sharpen it and see how well it sharpens. it's not sharp at all, at one point that has to be that you can't feel the bur so it's been pretty poorly sharpened, but that's not a problem, I prefer to sharpen them myself anyway, so that's it, okay, so this one poem is ready to enter the jungle and test me.

I've tuned it and, you know, I've sharpened it pretty well. You know, I liked it, so it's pretty easy to sharpen, so to do other things that I've done here, I've removed it. Those kind of bumpy bits on the handle took away all the shellac that was there, which was shiny and unpleasant, and I put some Danish oil on it which I find pretty good for wooden handles because it's not slippery but it just protects the grip a little. wood. A little bit, I put a little bit of tape here just to help the case grip the end of the lever handle here and then to keep these two halves together, although that glue is just a little bit of extra support.

I put paracord here, just sewed inside and finally However, a little rubber inner tube is too nice because I like to take the inner tube into the jungle to make a fire, but it's also in the back of the car. I only protect the end of the pry blade that is being hit. a clip for the adult booty loop fix and I just cut out those fancy pants bits on the holster which I personally didn't like so here's what this parang um cost me 20 ringgit and it does the job perfectly well. I just went out and spent 140 crowns so seven times more on this one and you know it's easy when you spend more on a piece of equipment and you can't want it to be better so I thought I'd go and see Baha and get his opinion, kind of an unbiased opinion because he hasn't spent any money on avoiding ringing, so I'll go there now and see what he does with it.

You see another touch. I mean a strange liquid, but I'll do it. I say I like it different, but I know this was great from the quality meter, so I'm already using this better quality than the land of good things to agree, since I know this is to say, do the promise since then, the second of the The shape of the leaf is tragic because it means that we have the shape of a tree very easy to cut or it is very exactly, they say it is like what, like two things, six or more small trees that you want to stop, come here. see another think or see the other side just cut this and close it because we need to cut run away sir so it won't be what I mean the second one is used once the main problem yes we will understand or sometimes , No.

I can't say that they will cut me well so that you can be more precise, yes, more precise now. I think it's like that sometimes, when his facade is thick and thick, this video, yes, this is so he went to close something, he runs to suffer like this. a Suffolk that this is right, what I send tonight, oh honey, the only thing is that life is a rat time, yeah, it's like folding it better when it does something before our arms here, we put it there or so for the so you snuggle this under your yes under and I'm done I'm serious y'all stop this we have for the other energy is sometimes the finger works harder Phyllis unity our commercial copy a lot from where you can control it so it also means that below our messages you can control them, although you can hold them, but act to learn to see below us, so I hear that if this is the smallest thing to stop us, at that time we can treat many very happy creatures, okay , I like it, so I'm The conclusion of the bar is that you know he likes to mold and he was really interested in this.

I mean, what are you saying? You know it's fair enough, you know time is the test for this and you know the real question is how. Well, the blade has been tempered and the quality of the metal has been used, you know, and that will show over time, so what I'm going to do is just put it through one of the toughest tests for Iran, which is cutting bamboo. it can really ruin your tank and we'll look at generally the two things that can happen if the metals get too hard and you know it can be brittle and splinters come out which you know is a bit of a problem. but worse than that is if it's too soft and it's too soft, what happens when you hit something really hard is the blade almost pulls, it forms an S, it almost bends, if you will, it's under impact, so we'll give it a few hits on a bamboo in the jungle and then take him to take a closer look at this blade.

Cutting bamboo when it is green and living is quite easy, but when it is dry it is much more difficult, it is really difficult and a good test for the piranha. to see how the blade holds up so I'm going to make a crack in this one with the peel and then a little bit closer to the blade so this is our dried piece of mu and you know it's a pretty strong material and one of the The hardest parts of bamboo are these climates where it branches and those sometimes feel like they're made of iron, in fact, sometimes instead of cutting them like this, you know, I'll turn on the energy around these people.

Break them up like this and save the blade a little bit so you know I'm going to put the camera on a tripod and cut a little bit, this is sharp and I thought it was okay, so I'll get another piece, okay this piece isn't rotten so try it this trick. I will say that it feels much easier to cut like this and with the fairly short ones they look good, let's keep cutting. I mean, I've cut a lot of dried bamboo in my time and this is nice and pretty impressive and I climb a planned cliff and there's not a single bump or wobble on the tool blade, so I'm back from a morning spent clearing the jungle using this combination and tried it all on dried bamboo.

I've tried it on hardwoods, just general cleaning and pretty much heated everything. I'm actually quite impressed with it and the blade, you know, you can barely see it, it's been used honestly, so it looks pretty good so far, obviously, time will tell you. The true character of a pine, you know, really comes through after you've used it a few times and sharpened it, and you get a good feel for it, but I think it's actually very good and, like I say, it cuts very, very well. If you want to buy one of these don't contact me because I don't sell pairs but the outdoor dynamics guy does and I will put all the details about him on my website so you go there and know you can find everything you need .

If you want to buy this or one of the cheaper, more expensive cakes, you know you can get seven of the cheapest prawns for one of these, but you know if you want a really good one, it might be an investment, you'll want to do the other. Do you want to comment on this video or any other of the videos that I've made and you can do that for me on the website because I embed the videos in kind of blog posts and now I put a little more information on any of the topics that I'm talking about speak rather, so please, if you want to comment, all comments are welcome, go to the website and there you go.
