Check this out. Some very neat stuff coming from Condor Tools. They have went into the market with some very impressive looking nessies, and scandi bushcrafters, as well as a carbon steel machete, with input from our own Joezilla!!! Condor makes nice stuff, so you know its quality. :thumbup:

Best part is, nothing over 40.00!!:eek:

Wow. I like the Nessie. I'd like to see a lanyard hole but for that price, I wouldn't complain.

The slabs are a bit square but thats a good thing. leaves room to customize 'em to fit your hand with a little sanding.
 
Great to see I love the Condors. You get a lot of tool for your dollar. I have five of their knives and machetes.
 
:)! lanyards should be in the golok at the least. These are just the prototypes so there is a list of things that are to be correctedd, and the square-ish handles are one of them.

The rest of the smaller knives will be in a satin color.

Golok will be around $39, no sheath to keep the price down
Machete- $24~!!!! The machete is their deal, I had nothing to do with it really. They have been making machetes for over 75 years so needless to say my input was null. it is THE BEST machete I have ever used, hands down. I will be posting a lengthy review/shrine to it later. Fabulous tool!

The rest of the knives will vary from $14 to $24 with sheaths. The idea is to have full tang pukko styles for everyone to try.There is a 2" scandi that will be coming out too.
Much more stuff in the future as well.
 
It is a brazillian oak of some sort. Their super thermoplastic (the stuff I ran over with my cherokee five times without it breaking) might be in the future too.
The woodslore is THICK, about 1/4 or so, and the golok is thick too, and shall be tapered from back to front with a psuedo v-grind.
 
That's very cool. Good for Condor! It looks like they could be giving the Mora a run for its money. I'll be picking up a couple of those for sure- the Nessie in particular appeals to me.
 
I am SO stoked about this. Condor is doin it up right. I cant wait to pick up some of these. I am starting with that machete!!!!
 
The bolo machete will be about 15" as well. There is a 12" machete in the works for all you camp lovers.

Good to hear. Thanks Joezilla!
 
Condor knife and tool is owned by the parent company IMacasa. They have been making machetes for over 75 years and counting. hold on and I'll upload some pictures
 
Price point for these is so right on. The market for these types of knives is so high, and its great to see them gonna be alot more affordable to people who wanna try out the styles. Plus for that much, you can really beat on em!!!!
 
Imacasa is based in El Salvador, in Central America. I was very fortunate to go tour the factory a few months ago and saw just how hard this company works. El Salvador’s economy is based on the American dollar, and they wanted to bring their quality to the US. Enter Condor Knife and Tool, where they are bringing the best materials and craftsmanship to cater to the states. These are similar machetes to what they have, except with the best materials and attention to detail, and a crazy edge. These are some of the hardest working people I have encountered; a 14 hour shift was pretty common. They are trying their hardest to show the US just what this company can do, and bring the best value to the market. Central and South America have been truly living off of their tools for many many years, and by living, I mean making an income every time the machete is swung on a coconut or in the jungle. They depend on these products to bring food to the table.

I'll upload some more info. Hold!
