This is a post-recalls Bear Grylls Parang I've had for quite a while. Supposed to have the design flaws worked out. I've so many choppers I've never really had a chance to use it much. Had some springtime type clearing to do in the backyard, so I decided to give it a trial. I wasn't gentle with it. This thing is a monster on wrist size, or smaller, soft woods. I'm sure it could handle tougher tasks. Rivaled my Kangee on the chores I used it for. With all the bad press Bear Grylls stuff has received, I'm not ready to rely on it as the only camp knife I take on outdoor trips yet, but I might gain more confidence in it with more use. We'll see. Anybody else have any experience with a post-recalls Gerber parang. How did it hold up.
It cleaned up quite nice too.
