Hello. Does anyone know of the Condor Knife and Tool Pipe Knife or even that one may be? I feel clueless here as to what the thing is even for lol. Any experience with their products in general? They seem to make fairly cheap fancy looking axes, something I'd like to get. I swear, knives are like crack, one hit and your freaking addicted to this shizzle. When will this madness stop?! When I ask you, mwahahaha. Glad I got that out of my system.

Good night,
Aaron
 
Lol, you can say that again. When a plain knife just won't cut it, STAB IT! Might serve some purpose, just need to figure it out.
 
I agree, it looks like the mother of all prison shanks. Judging by their marketing, I guess its for sticking on the end of a, uhhh... stick for making a spear. But really, who's going to carry something like that around in the woods when you can just use your knife to put a point on a stick?
 
Cute, but useless. If it were $20, I'd probably get one, but I'm betting they want substantially more or they would have listed the price. :P
 
Have you people no appreciation for the more destructive things in life?

Seriously? I have no need for a KaBar short heavy bowie (not all that short) but I still got one.
I think I remember seeing these shiv-pipe things in the SMKW catalog for close to $30.
 
I'm familiar with this knife. It was designed by Arlen Lothe. Great guy...He originally developed this knife to stab pigs with. He even drilled "BLEEDER" holes in the sides so that you could leave the knife in and it would funnel the blood out of the corpse. NICE.
 
Alright, well, the next time I have a pig in my backyard and I need it running around bleeding all over the place I will be sure to get one of THESE!!!


lol, Does anyone have any knowledge on their axes? Seem to be pretty good.
 
Their axes are mostly made in El Salvador. The funky look to them has actually been adapted from medieval times. The long dip in the front is called a "Shoulder Hook" it was brought forward from designs that were used during the dark ages so that a man standing on the ground could use his weapon (axe) to catch his enemy by his shoulder and pull him off of his horse for a level fighting field. Pretty wild...
 
I have a friend who has some property in some local foot hills and the wild vegetation on it ranges from blackberries to hazel brush to maples that have been downed and seasoning for several years.

He has several of the Condor chopping instruments and in his experience they cut better than most anything other than a chainsaw. Ontario, Gerber, Marbles and Cold Steel instruments just bounce off a lot of his stuff but the Condor cutters make the chips fly.

I have several pieces, and while I really haven't cut much of anything with them I've found them to be uniformly sharp enough to shave hair right out of the box. I have the Hog Sticker Machete, the Gladius Machete, the Jungle Bowie and the Mini Jungle Bowie. If the quality my friend has experienced is any indication I think that Condor is about one of the best buys out there, especially for a factory convex edge. That mini Bowie with it's double razor sharp edges is a real frightening piece.
 
I own the Viking and Combat machetes, as well as their billhook....I think they call it the Jungle Knife or something. Anyhow, they're all incredible performers, and the only stainless machetes I'd trust. Great sheaths, too!
