The new Condor Dadao

I know I am reviving an old thread, but I just got mine and I have to say I am really impressed. The blade itself is solid, came fairly sharp (about an hour of TLC got it to push-cut sharp), and is really well made. I am not too fond of the "sheath" as it doesnt hold the blade in place very well (slides half way out easily even with both snaps closed)... but that isnt a deal breaker at all.

I bought this after watching these videos:

I dont think you can buy a hunk of 1075 steel that is this quality for less. It is a total value tool / weapon and I 100% will recommend it to anyone looking for such.
 
thanks, it's a blood red paracord with the white guts removed. took me a while to figure out the pattern so i could use a single uncut length. traditional wrap would have used cotton or even strips of old cloth. the original i based it on used a yellow fore/aft stranding. google 'dadao' & pick 'images' from the top menu, lots of cool dadao photos.
