Product Description
The MY Parang Duku Chandong 8″ was just phenomenal. We tried it on many different things, wood, bamboo, sticks, grass, branches and even in the kitchen. Cutting, chopping, prying, slicing. What we found out was that The MY Parang Duku Chandong 8″ is definitely not a full sized parang capable of taking down barrel sized trees. Unless you intend to do so, this 8″ Duku Chandong actually excels at smaller tasks and is capable of more that you think.
On our field test, we tried it on beer-can sized trees and it was a pleasure to use. We used it to debark , and it was a pleasure to use. We used it to pry open Durians , and it worked flawlessly! It is also small enough to use in the kitchen, dressing chickens or cleaning game. Cuts through meat and chops through the toughest bone. By all means, this 8″ Chandong is now our favorite.
It’s short length and light weight makes it such a pleasure to carry everywhere. When you sit , it is short enough to not yank on your belt. It is light and compact enough for weight weenies and barely feels like its there.
We foresee that this model will be one of the best selling models. If you want something light and compact, this is the one.
So now we have 4 different types of Duku Chandongs – The 8″ , 10″ , 12″ and the 12″ Heavy
