Thanks man! 9 years later and this is still the best parang-sharpening video on youtube

@BenOrford 2 года назад

Wow thanks a lot that’s great to hear. All the best cheers Ben

@mrchin7562 4 года назад

That's interesting. I think I will try that on my parang.

@adelarsen9776 11 лет назад

What about the fact that a Parang should have 4 different levels of sharpness from the heel to the tip ?? A parang is the multi tool of the SE Asian jungle and it serves many purposes - this is why it's edge is sharpened to different degrees of sharpness along its length. No one has a parang with a razor edge all the way along the cutting edge. Next time you see a parang in the hands of a native thai, malay, fuzzy wuzzy, check out the edge. There's a reason for this.

Excellent explanation. This method is often used for an approach for those who do not intend to spend much, or for those unfamiliar with problems related to sharpening: grits, sharpening angles, risks of injury. And for the record, nice workshop! Thank you very much.

Very good sharpening method.

@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 7 лет назад

please make some more videos, when following your instructions I am always confident I'm doing the right thing. have been honing on paper since reading an amazing book "whitling whistles" now I can make my mates knives sharp on the table in a beer garden, it also leaves a nicely burnished patch on the table.

Great video Ben, I just sharpened by Hossom Forrager using this method which has been sat needing attention since I cleared a bramble thicket with it and it's nice and sharp again now! :)

@hideyourcables 12 лет назад

brilliant. every one one your videos is an absolute nugget of information and experience. how do we get hold krone of your t-shirts I haven't seen them on your website. thanks once again for your awesome videos

@JohnEBgood3000 11 лет назад

Sometimes I use the jeans I am wearing, or the edge of a cardboard box to strop.

@azizulzulzaha 11 лет назад

i also found if you add a few drops of autosol on the paper makes it shinier....

@leemichel8199 2 года назад

@mgalanteonline 12 лет назад

Thanks Ben, this will certainly come in handy.

@shanson71 11 лет назад

Nice knife, and the sheath looks great. I want to get a kydex sheath made in that style for my parang. Thanks for the informative video

@jgreystoke 10 лет назад

Thanks for those great tips. Most sharpening vids assume high tech or infinite patience.

@stevel1475 Год назад

Got a slight dent on the edge as I was cutting a thick weed popping out of paving stone next to the wood flower bed. How do i correct this, file?

@johandoes151 9 лет назад

that's a beautiful parang and a great video! thank you.

@ExploreLife2012 10 лет назад

This vid needs louder, more volume. Thanks for all the great vids.

@Joeyhiro 11 лет назад

I really like the way you focus on safety. So good. So important.

@abhinavaggarwal4062 7 лет назад

can you do one about sharpening a khukri if possible? I chopped some pine wood with my khukri and forgot to clean it. the pine made the blade rust at some spots and the edge. I clean it every few days with wd-40, but the rust keeps coming back somehow. the rust is biting into the blade and has really ruined the edge. Can you suggest something to keep the rust off, since wd-40 doesn't seem to be working.

@fastlifebmx9292 7 лет назад

Abhinav Aggarwal soak in viniger or use baking soda

@coen8323 7 лет назад

Abhinav Aggarwal use oil instead of wd 40

@LoveLife-xy9ir 6 лет назад

Wuw this is a good tip for sharpening all sorts(wet sand paper on stick). Ive used it for many things, cool stuff. I used it to recondition my bike rims.

@johnmutton799 4 года назад

Not a very good working edge though.

@fortyacreprep8783 11 лет назад

Thanks for the information and a great video, you've got another subscriber here. Going to try my hand at making a parang this winter. Your sharpening info will come in handy.

@georgeof78 9 лет назад

Thanks for the great video. I found it very handy. Over time my parang edge was was starting to look like a pocket knife edge after sharpening. I did the marker and took a stone and shaped it back to the convex edge and then repeat the marker and went to the finer grit stone and finally did the 600 grit. Wow! Now that I know resharpening will be simple.

@blackmagic8115 10 лет назад

Great video - it was a pleasure to subscribe. Incidentally, where did you get that great sheath?

@osbaldohernandez9174 10 месяцев назад

@AlexanderHolsgrove 12 лет назад

The quality is fine, but it's very quiet indeed (compare it to other videos). But the content is great as always.

@TheDarkalkymist 11 лет назад

powdered iron is commonly used as a pigment in black ink, so that might be why the ink/newspaper trick works

@TheNickHorton 12 лет назад

Absolutely great. Any chance you could kindly do a workshop tour? Please, pretty please ;-)

@aleisterbroley900 4 года назад

Works well for the Terävä Skrama, too.

@duncang01 5 лет назад

I use a flat file and I can shave with it after.

@puroritmo9540 3 года назад

Wow , the best

@OutdoorPathways 12 лет назад

I second that workshop tour video. I remember you did one for your old shop. Could we also have a 'bodger making tutorial'? But the workshop tour first including that fantastic view out of the window.

@bedenshire 12 лет назад

Great video mate

@wildparang 10 лет назад

yes very nice.

@roballen1216 9 лет назад

Can anyone elaborate what he means by "light spots"?

@johandoes151 9 лет назад

***** if you hold the blade so that the cutting edge points directly to a light source (e.g. the sun) and you see the light gets reflected on some spots on the cutting edge...then these spots are called light spots (as far as i understand it). they indicate spots where the blade is (rather) dull. usually you need to go back to your waterstone or whatever sharpening device you were using and start over again...but sometimes - as ben said - it is worth and can be sufficient to use the strop just once again. hope that makes sense - english is not my mother tongue :-)

@roballen1216 9 лет назад

Thanks! And I feel you did rather well!

@edgyguy8240 6 лет назад

there's always gotta be a comment from a smartypants like you! he's making a video on the parang that he has! does he have to cover every different knife length in the universe??? so stop being a wiseass, and make some videos, why don't you? LAME!
