Pros: Handle Material
Cons: None
Not Fantastic but not bad
This is a very unique design overall, I loved that it had more of a flat face to it. The handle length in my opinion is basically perfect, has a great balance to it for multiple tasks. I usually carry a pocket knife and this just because I can use this to process my wood all the way through and avoid batoning. CONS: The edge was just awful, I mean it looked almost unfinished or even untouched, it was flat. So I had to reprofile the entire edge which to me is unacceptable that it passed any QC at all. Touch up, or not shaving sharp okay, but it was flat. I kept it as its not a huge deal to me to fix. The handle is actually slightly turned at the bottom where the grip is and not directly in line with the head. Again its fixable but im just going to leave it as I do abuse it. Should you buy?: I would say pass, heres why...The QC on this and others tells me Condor has some issues to solve. I believe their are better hatchets and axes in this price range. The designs they put out are amazing but execution has to be there. The competition has much better QC and I would of rather had a hatchet I could use than one i needed to doctor up especially for the price I paid. I think condor has the best designs hands down but i will continue to avoid them until I see QC improve on their products.
