Like a modern take on the classic Smatchet
This is a cool knife. For over $90 I was unsure, but when I saw the sale price of $72, I jumped on it. I have a soft spot for some of the classic WWII era blades. People like Sykes, Fairbairn and Applegate helped design some of the all-time great knives that we know and love. One of these knives was the "smatchet". The smatchet features a leaf-shaped blade, sharpened on both sides. Its name comes from the fact that it is like a machete, a bolo, and a hatchet, all in one.Now, this knife doesn't advertise itself as a "smatchet", but the influence is clearly there. This knife is geared for survival like the original. It has that distinctive leaf-shaped blade. It is the right size. It's also made out of nice high carbon steel, just like the original would've been. I think William E. Fairbairn would've taken kindly to this knife. It is awesome.My only real complaint is the sheath. I like the classic leather, but I feel like the knife hits the side and that can dull the blade. Also, there is no sort of belt loop for carrying it. I'm actually not sure how the manufacturer expects one to carry this knife in the original sheath. Modifications should be easy enough, but it would've been nice to get a belt loop or something.

Something different!
I bought this on a bit of a lark: I like knives, but I already have some excellent "standard" knives. This one looked different, and it is. I was surprised by how lightweight it is: it's in the specs, but still the photos had me expecting something bigger, and bulkier, and more of a chopper. This knife is on the smaller side, with a thin blade and very lightweight. I like the perfect symmetry of this knife: with its high carbon steel and full tang, it feels like it could be a good thrower. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I will use it for, but I'll be testing that out this summer in Alaska-- I plan to carry this as my main daily carry, and see how it performs.The sheath is very nice, although there's no belt loop. At first I was figuring how to add one, but instead just adjusted my carry style and found I can tuck it into my belt no problem. Like everything about this knife, it's taking some adjusting on my part. The blade very nice: good high carbon steel, thin and flexible, and it came nice and sharp. The finishing seems top notch (which can be a concern for Condor). The leaf-shaped blade seems pretty versatile: the sharp point should be able to do some detail work, while the broad part can do a bit of chopping. The "belly" looks like it would be good for, say, slicing rope with a pull motion. Again, this is a different knife, and probably not for everyone, but I found myself impressed, and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with it. I have a hunch I'll find this to be a very useful all around backwoods knife. For sure, it's a quality piece: rugged yet nimble and lightweight. Just a bit different than anything else I own.
