Anyone got one yet? Pics in hand? Thoughts? This one could be high up on the list!
 
I want pics please. I've been wanting a Khukri, so if it is cool enough, I will hope they have them at SMKW when I go :)
 
Hey guys, Cam at machete specialist has both golok sheaths, kukri sheaths, and both the kukri and golok in stock
 

Condor kukri and golok

Best 36 dollars I've spent in a long time
 
I find it's my most effective chopper. Definitely one of the top two or three most effective knives I have for the money, which is saying a lot. I do a ton of research, shopping and penny pinching before I buy anything.

Both the kukri and golok are beautiful choppers. Took'em both out last spring break when my pops and I went hiking in shimek state forest, and thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

Wow. Those look great. I usually never get to see any Condors.

Most people selling them have sort of an illustration on their website and most people posting pictures of them always use Photobucket and all I get is a red X.

Thanks for using pics I can see. Nice blades!

Small, light, easily packable, extremely precise, natural forward balance and sweet spot (very tomahawk like feel) great secure handle, very clean looking overall. I highly recommend this blade.
 
I've got one coming in the mail for my father in law because he fell in love with my Parang but my distributor is out of it at the moment. I told him to trust me and I'd pick him out something cool and it seems that based on your experiences, I made the right decision.
Maybe I'll keep the Khukri and give him the Parang.
:D
 
I just got my SMKW Christmas sale book in the mail yesterday & they have all the Condor camp/bushcraft sereis ! :thumbup:
 
Whats the blade thickness on the Condor Kukri?
Is it Kukri thick or machete thick or something in between?
I'm planning on getting a Condor Hudson Bay knife and a Condor Golok soon!
A Kukri of the same thickness as the HBK would be heavy but completely awesome!
:)
 
It's thick for your typical machete, but quite thin compared to a traditional kukri. A good balance between both. :)
 
I've been really surprised lately with all the talk of this being such a good chopper. Thought after it first hit folks were saying it was all machete???
 
In terms of what it would be classified as, yes it's a machete. Machetes come in all sorts of patterns, though, and even the classic Latin pattern can be a good chopper. The Condor kukri accomplishes this through its distribution of mass and having that mass set forward of the angle of your swing, much like any other kukri would. :)
