Customer Video Review Length:: 1:58 MinsOkay... I just want to say... knife elitists of the world, give it a rest! Seriously! Do you honestly expect a "polished" edge you can shave with out of the box on every <$50 knife you buy??? Seems like your going to live a long disappointing life if that's the case. It's borderline mental, how critical people are of a knife having "an okay edge" just blows my mind. Sorry... been bottling that up for a while now :) Anyway... I've owned my share of machetes... this is the best all around brush clearing, log batonning, zombie decapitating piece of steel you could hope for at this price. I know there's a lot of people sitting in their towers criticizing anything marketed with a "celebrity" tag on it, and I'll admit that Mr. Grylls involvement in this sick example of machete engineering had me questioning the actual quality of the product, but once I got it, I was convinced of Gerber's dedication to quality and innovation. Okay... that might be excessive... Read more

I want to start by saying I use knives and hatchets and have my own sharpening service. I worked in a meat packing plant for years right out of school where we depended on our knives to make a living. So I know knives, cleavers, hatchets, and about anything with an edge. that being said, this parang rocks. I also own the ultimate survival knife from Bear and Gerber, and have not tested it yet. Back to the Parang. I set out with 4 big blades and 2 hatchets. Mind you these were all reputable names of blades(no K-Mart items). I started with chopping, and man can this thing chop for it's weight and size, which is 19 5/8" overall length. the blade is 13 1/2" w/cutting edge of 11". and the thickness is just over 3/32" not quite 1/8". The handle is about 6 1/8" and feels real nice in hand giving you a couple choices on where to hold and that causes less hand fatigue. The weight is 1.2 lbs.(17.52 oz's). Alright, here we go, this Parang out chopped my 2 hatchets and 3 out of the 4 big...

Found the Grylls Parang on Amazon after hearing about it and ordered it. Amazon is great to deal with and delivery was on time with out problem.The Parang is a great handling tool (I have 2 other similar tools) and the grip is great for doing its job. Problem: on my first walk down my bush trail I used it to cut some winter damage hanging low and after about 30 minutes of work the handle split up and down at the hilt. These were not big branches or vines, all were cut with one or two swings of the Parang. I Emailed Gerber over 2weeks ago and have heard nothing yet, I will try one more Email to get a new handle after that I guess I will make my own and lesson learned. |
