Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Material, Sheath/Scabbard, Materials, Finish, Blade Sharpness

Cons: None

Tactical Falchion.

This thing is more like a falchion ( large machete-sword) than anything,in that it hits like a heavy machete, and moves like a sword. The reason this is possible is that the blade flares out towards the tip of the falchion (I always think of it as a falchion), keeping the weight down, but increasing the striking capabilities substantially.

like a custom knife

I was expecting to get something flimly that I would have to put an edge on, and woudl rattle. I was thinking "I'll make this a modification piece". I was astounded at the quality and dutifully bought another. Why? I couldn't use the one I got, it was too pretty. The second one I got was just as gorgeous, but I didn't have any problem CUTTING THE CRAP OUT OF A PINE STUMP IN MY BACK YARD WHILE LISTENING TO IRON MAIDEN. THIS THIS KICKS ASS. I WOULD HAVE PAID $200. My expensive cold steel katana has nothing on this machete. "

Very nice "Tactical" machete

This caught my eye looking at the new stuff from Condor so I said "the heck" and fit it in my budget. First off they get high marks for quality the thing is very,very well made and to be honest being from El Salvador I was expecting something on the level of Windlass quality-nope! this is as well made as something from the US. I've been whacking everything from vines to small trees and it cuts ether with vengeance,it's not an ax but up to a quarter inch it'll chop through with one swing if you know what you're doing. The only thing I can say is if your used to regular machetes this may surprise you weight wise,it's more sword like then anything. Great machete! buy with confidence!!

Amazing for the money...

I've been collecting big blades for a long time. Kukris, machetes, swords, bowies, hatchets, axes, whatever - you name it, I've owned the best and chopped up a bunch of crap with one. I'm impressed! Most blades don't survive the first whack! I will definitely be looking into more Condor products in the future. Awesome...

Condor Machete

I need this machete for camping and hiking. Love the workmanship and the excellent craftsmanship. Little heavy for carrying but does a fine job in use.

Great Machete

Bought this back in the spring, and it is one bad ass machete! Came super sharp! I cut the box it came in in two in front of the guys at the shop. They couldn't believe how well it cut. I have chopped saplings to pieces of fire wood. It's built to last, and the handle makes it a joy to use. Wish I would have bought it years ago! Worth every penny!! KnifeCenter is the place for all my blade needs!

Nice stuff

No complaints on the quality. Needs plastic guard for blade tip during shipping- mine arived with a smashed point from being dropped, I assume. Bummer.

Disappointed

After reading the reviews of this machete, I thought it was just what I was looking for; the woods in the deep south are very thick with thorny wait-a-minute vines. A sharp machete with some reach is handy when cutting your way through the thick stuff. When it arrived I was disappointed with the blade. The first fourth inch (from the point) was terribly nicked as though it had struck something. As the edge continued toward the handle, there were many more deep nicks in the blade. I have never seen a new blade so badly scarred. The black coating was perfect and there was no rust on the blade so I assume it was not used. Also the handle was in perfect shape and very nice, exactly as promised. I expect more from a $100 machete. Perhaps quality control at Condor is not very good. At any rate, I will not purchase another Condor product.
