If you want a $60 leather sheath for a machete get a Condor, if you want a heavy duty $20-25 machete get an Ontario if you just want a machete that works get a $5 Imacasa, tramontina, Cornetta, or Gavilan.
I love my condor bushcraft parang. I just picked up a condor kukri machete for under 60 and it's another effective well thought out beast from condor. Much thicker than the cold steel stuff, but that's necessary 'cus I like to use them for breaking up firewood. Which would you prefer (along with the parang) for beating on hardwood?I have the Condor Bushcraft Parang, and the El Salvador, and Golak machetes. The Bushcraft Parang is a must for value machete collectors! I use the traditional, El Salvador machete in the yard, and I like it a lot. I also have the Cold Steel Black Bear, Barong, Bowie, Kukri, Royal Kukri, Tactical Wazikashi machetes. Most of these would be considered "mall Ninja", but I really enjoy them, and all can be found for $15-$27. The Kukri is my user, chopper and is very good for limbs (tree).
The Golak would be my next choice, but I have confidence in my Kukri machete. I typically reserve my Cold Steel Trail Boss axe for heavy chopping.I love my condor bushcraft parang.
