The Famous Bidor Parang (Machete)

What is outdoor adventure without some cool and awesome gadgets? Yes, with every adventure one has to be equipped in every aspect to make the journey a pleasant one. So our team of adventurer set out on a journey to find the best parang made in town.

After many ‘googling’, it was decided that the Bidor Parang Maker was the place to satisfy our needs. Chop Kwong Yuan Loong has made its name in the parang industry by providing good quality parang and they have been around for over 70 years!

Once a small scale shop now turned into a huge factory

The ‘Mini Showroom’ had a showcase of all parang and knives which are for sale

They even sell sharpening stones to make sure the parang can always be in good condition

The choices available can be very tempting, even to those who don’t need one

There is a Parang for everyone! Pick your choice, long or short? Heavy or light? Red or Blue?

Some even comes with a casing that is specially made for each parang. Safety first!

Okay enough about the awesome showroom now take a look at where the parang is made!

Before they are turned into useable parang, it starts from a normal metal rod 

The long metal rods are cut into pieces, shaped in the hot furnace followed by a lot of knocking and cooling down, and finally you get the handmade parang!

This trip has been a good experience to all the adventurers who set out on this journey to find the best parang. We bought a few parang for personal use, some bought small knives to be kept as souvenirs and all came up to a good bargain that nobody can resist.
