Description

CN2820128HC: Vipera Machete

Condor Tool & Knife

The Vipera Machete is named after the genus Vipera, which includes most old world pit vipers like the Horned Viper. Like those fierce snakes it is named after, the Vipera Machete packs a bite. With a special texture on the blade, this 19.63" chopper can clear a campsite or a pack of predators with ease. The recurve on the 12.81" blade makes this a true slicer. The Vipera comes with a full grain dangler style leather sheath and is made out of the tried and true 1075 high carbon steel.

Condor Quality
My son got this for me for Father's Day. I was immediately surprised at how light the Vipera is. Also I want to say that the "scales" are not lightly etched on the blade but are actually forged onto it. This feature I thought was very cool. The handle is a little too thin but that is the only thing I can think that could be improved. The Vipera also came very sharp, I actually shaved the hair on my arm straight out of the box. The leather sheath is also very nice,it came very stiff and the snaps have to be worked a little at first but a coat of mink oil and use will fix that issue no problem. Overall I would highly recommend the Condor Vipera to any fellow adventures out there! Thanks for taking the time to read my review.
