This is just an FYI. Some of the Joezilla designed Condors are starting to find their way to dealers again. I know a lot of you guys are waiting for these. I was able to find a Rodan and the carbon steel El Salvador machete in stock.

Go get 'em!
 
Yup! My El Salvador machete arrived today- it makes my other machetes look like junk. That thing is sweet! The sheath it comes with is first rate too. Condor definitely makes the nicest production machetes I've ever seen. :thumbup: Condor rocks.
 
Time to flex the old wallet and see what we can buy!
Don't know what to do with a machete around here but that Rodan would be nice.
 
I was just playing with my new machete- and the thing literally shaves right out of the box. A machete that effortlessly slices paper and SHAVES- out of the box? That's crazy! I've bought a lot of knives that didn't ship this sharp. :eek: Zombies better back the hell up! :D
 
I just hope there are some left when I get some more money in. I'm a Jones'n bad, and I need my Condor fix.
 
I had the Rodan added to an order a while back as a 'last moment' inspiration. I thought for just a few dollars I could get a look at what Condor was about. Anyway, knife arrived, I about fell off the chair when I opened the box. I couldn't believe how large it was! Really a capable, well-designed knife that can easily take the stress and strain of the most zealous outdoors bushwhacker. :) I will be purchasing more Condor in the future.

Very close in dimensions to an old/new Becker BK-10.

I really like that old BK-10, but I really like that Rodan, too. I think I'll get the Bushlore first, though, since the Rodan is awful close in size to my BK-2.
 
Anyone who knows me will tell you what my two favorite companies are: RAT and Condor!

I own the Viking, Bush Knife, Combat, and Rodan, and they're all top notch. I've also had a lot of playtime with many of the other models. Super great stuff. I plan on upgrading the handle on my Viking to some green canvas micarta. :cool:
 
That's why I'm so revved up about the Condor/RAT machete they'll be whipping up! (Again, a major hats-off to Joe for that one!) I'm an addict. I'll admit it. :D :D :D
 
Anyone that owns both feel up to comparing the bushlore and the bushcraft knife for me? Perhaps even the Rodan or Nessmuk if you like them better. Isn't one of them scandi ground? And isn't the bushcraft knife offered in different blade lengths? Can't tell from the pictures, and most of the dealers I've checked don't specify. I eventually want all the new Condor offerings, but with other expenses and limited funds, I'll have to try them one at a time. Thanks.
