Looks like a good tool. Maybe I'll be looking for one on the exchange.

2 things popped into my head while watching that video....


1) Who in the heck eats their sliced tomatoes that thin?

and...

2) I could just hear Karen saying... "Bugga... Rob's made a bloody mess in th' yard again!"



Thanks for the vid Rob... Enjoyable as always!!!:thumbup:

Those words can be heard almost every weekend as I head outside with a few knives and my camera bag & tripod

hi Rob,
parang is actually pronounced 'par-rung'. not par-rang. no offence intended, but it is a tool/knife from my region, just thought to share. Just like you don't call a khukri a 'cark-kree'

other than that, thanks! it looks to be a mean chopper, and I know Australia has some bloody hard-wood, in fact, some of the hardest are in Australia

Ok, I want one now....hahaha

According to the Oxford Dictionaries site, it's pa-rang (ˈpɑːra&#331 in "British and World English", but something close to pa-wrong (ˈpäräNG) in U.S. English, with pa-rang (pəˈräNG) being a Trinidadian folk dance with the same spelling. I would have assumed that the British version would be closer to the local version, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

And I thought the Australian word for a big knife was pronounced "kri-kee," not "cark-kree." As in, "kri-kee, that's a big knife."
