This is the best knife channel on TH-cam. Knife sellers and knife makers should gather with you to give your viewers a discount in their products.
Condor make fantastic gear for the price. Their leather sheaths are excellent. I can’t see mine wearing out anytime soon.
I have been watching a lot of youtube channels that "review" knives for a long time, I just recently found this one and it is my favorite already!!
ironically I've just received my first condor (a village parang) and it was INSTANTLY my favorite in my collection, so nicely and solidly built, INSANELY great chopper, it's love man... I order the dundee bowie on friday, I'll be calling it The Compensator HAHA
condor machetes are incredible, im looking forward to buying more of their stuff
That is an impressive line up! I've been beating on the Warlock for a little while, and I like it. I did have to work on the convex edge when I first got it though.
you're the guy i watch to get my condor info. Only own one now but they are swaying me away from CS !!
I love Cold Steel machete....but condor good lord....sharp right outta the package
totally agree with every word. high quality tools. greets from Berlin!
Awesome collection! I love Condor stuff, and have several of those myself...and the ones I don't have are on my to get list, haha.
For a really long trail of soft vegetation and saplings, I would want the longest and lightest I could get, saves the shoulder muscle and lets you use more elbow and wrist flicks. For heavy chopping, I like one that is weight and topheavy like an E-Nep.
I have the condor toloza its a nice knife. I have been fairly impressed with them. I like their handles and Micarta . The Warlock is a Beast !
Same here! Bushcraft Parang, Discord Machete, Crocodilian, Speed Machete, and that Matagi knife are all things I'm looking forward to. I kinda dig that Condor is doing some socket handle stuff, other than Aranyik and the Cold Steel Bushman there's not much of that out there.
That Parang is pretty good, interesting that it is 0.25 inch thick for a narrow blade. I probably won't review it anytime soon, since Condor is already coming out with a bunch of new stuff, but I'm glad I got one.
The Warlock is probably my favorite.
Finally, in France, the Warlock is available. But i don't know between the bushcraft Parang and the Warlock, what to take ?
The parang is half price of the Warlock! I hesitate.
Congrats! I am waiting for all their 2013 goodies to come out.
It's funny to see all of the wood chips everywhere. I have some all over my backyard from hitting a dead tree/logs with a Cold Steel Warhammer.
I have the village parang. There are three things you need to do to make it functional and efficient. If you dont do these you merely have a blunt heavy awkward thing in your hand.
1. The handle is round and fat. Cannot close the hand for grip and it spins because its round. You need to sand the handle, reduce the diameter, form into an oval shape, reduce the huge knob...because it's so big the wrist doesn't rotate.
2. Weight needs to be transferred from the heavy thick handle to the blade. Dead weight metal in the handle adds up to more arm swinging than blade.
swinging. Let the knife do the work by reducing the handle weight.
3. The blade comes with a low convex curved grind. Low means blunt like an axe. The combined negatives amount to swinging hard with little for efficiency and control. Burn yourself out chopping.. it's like a dull chainsaw..it doesn't matter how much you rev....it just ain't happening. The grind needs to be changed in two ways. First, the height needs to be raised. Its only about 3/4" or 1/5 the blade height. Needs to be twice that minimum but slight convex. At the throat near the handle it needs to be ground out so one can carve with it.
Know that the village parang comes heavy dull and not efficient.
You will hate sustained overhead work ..too heavy blunt and non maneuverable. It will annoy you that it does not bite no matter how hard you swing.
You must do the mods if you want this to be outstanding.
I did mine this way..no choice.
Now it's a preferred tool...gives slick cuts...a flick of the wrist is plenty on 11/2" limbs.. very little swinging, the efficiency is in sharpness and forward weight transfer.
I reduced nearly eleven ounces off total weight and it performs twice as well as the original
condor machetes are incredible, im looking forward to buy more of their stuff
great video man, i love condor knives and machetes. If i had a army or militia i wold have everyone carry a village parang or a engineer bolo. i love em all. again great video stay cool.
Angel Cocio Thanks, that would be a scary army!
haha thanks
Condor is the real deal
Oh my i just drooled on my keyboard! awesome collection there bro, i loved the footage of you testing esply the cinder block! gota agree that Warlock looks the beez knees, keep up the quality work, best wishes and take care
It's based on Cutlass swords which are related to Sabres yes
thanks bud, yeah, Joe Flowers is one cool guy haha, I'm most definitely buying that bushcraft parang now that that design is known to me, for $40 you can't go wrong with that one
Say Heah, For personal reasons, I don't much care for the 1075 Carbon Steel, Maybe it's how it's tempered. But I will comment on the Wilderness Tool since we're talking choppers. A a bonified chopper alone it's a small c sort of chopper, Also it's made out of the 420HC Stainless which I like much more which holds a pretty good edge. It's a 1lbs tool, But where it shines is in camp duty. Along the handle lenght is a sharp edge which I use as a knife, Then there's a hook that works great in clearing a camp and even making shooting lanes. There's a bigger hatchet and a small one on opposite sides which are connected with an arched semi sharp edge that's great to shovel and cut through roots as well of making a kitty hole. Yeah, I'm really surprised it never became a popular tool which I think it's a good one. a multi function tool that works very good with its design. Depending on what type of trip it is, but if it in titles bulding, and clearing of an area, That's my go to tool, Also if we're staying in camp I bring it along because I really like it as a camp tool, it's a very well thought out design. Yeah, I would recommend it and hope you could someday make a face-off video between the Condor Wilderness Tool and the Marbles Fireman Tool..Nice collection you have tgere, Nice. ,, ,, ,,
More expensive than a cold steel machete, sure. But much more affordable then their swords. CS swords use 1055 Carbon Steel and these use 1075 Carbon steel. Not to mention they keep the handles simple, practical, and sturdy. I used to want a Sword in the $300-$400 range.....then I saw the Condor Machetes and I no longer want to shell out hundreds for something I wont be able to use for nearly as many things, nor be able to replace easily if needed. $80-$90 Condor > $400 Sword
That is true, they do make great alternatives to swords, definitely easier to justify buying to myself
I would like to have one of those Barongs, but I believe they are discontinued. I also like their Parangs and as you stated they have good machetes.
Codor and Aranyik machetes are durable and powerful cleaver’s choppers
I live in ga where there is a lot of vines like ivy and cudzu and I think I'm going to try one to help out my backyard.
I'm surprised you dint wait for the Condor Bushcraft Parang (announced at SHOT 2013 and due out any day, now. I lusted for the VP, for a good while but I finally came to the conclusion that it is just too heavy. I own an Ontario SP8 and I like it. I will prolly order a Bushcraft Parang as soon as the street price settles out.
Hi, what an amazing selection and vid my friend! I own the condor golok parang it is truly epic!
Condor just keep getting better and bigger
Thanks for sharing.
Ian
I would be interested in your learned opinion about different machetes for different tasks. I mostly use mine for clearing brush, such as woody vines and green soft plants. For example, I have 3 lengths of Tramontina. The 17.5" blade seems too long. I tend to nick my hand w/o gloves on the 11.5. The 13.5 is close to perfect. I could have another 2" and not complain. I would really love your input on different types, lengths, curved, ect. used for grasses, cane, bamboo, wood, and the like. Thx.
Thanks, welcome!
Which would you recommend for clearing small trees up to maybe 5" MAX in diameter? I ordered the bushcraft Parang, but I really wanted the larger and more traditional looking Duku Parang or Parang Machete. I imagine all of them will get the job done, but I just couldn't find as much in depth info on the larger Parangs
Say Heah Como Sta, My Fav. Summer Long Knife is my Rodent Rucki, which I can chop with it late into the Fall even on heavier stuff. For the $$$ the Johnson Adventure Parangatang for me is a perfect size and very manageable, Even though I already had the BK-4 and the BK-5, But because I wanted the Becker Bundok BK-20 I got the BK-4 and the BK-5 and believe me no regrets, Although I almost didn't get the BK-20 and I was the last one to get the Limited Edition quick was the BK-20, BK-4 and the BK-5 I almost waited for the BK-20 to sell by itself, Then I found out that once they sold out the 450 Kits that's it and besides the BK-4 and the BK-5 are discontinued. So I think both will be collectors. I always liked my BK-5 which I teamed up with my BK-15 for a nice and lite pair that actually will take hard use. I could do most everything that I coukd using my BK-7 which I teamed up with my BK-17. I haven't used my BK-5 as a clearing knife because I like a little distance away from those priceless, But I do with my BK-4 which I basically got it for a chopper but my BK-9 chops better. But since it's called the Machaxe this is the smallest length that I'll use, after all it is a 9"+ blade, But the geometry does allow it to fare as a clearing long knife even if it's the shortest I'll use. But that Curved area makes it a very good slicer, So I teamed mine up with smaller blade, Like my Seal Pup Elite or my Bokor Black Rold and a BK-14 with scales or my Mora 510. Bit last week or so I dusted my Condor Golok off and started using it as my Summer Long Knife, As a Long Knife so far so good, The only problem I experienced with it is it rolled on me in some real cold temperatures. And I find the handle to be too round. But like I mentioned, So far so good, I sharpened it on my Work Sharp and that sharpened it up pretty good, Yeah it's been a while, How you frajole (How you bean).
Sorry, I don't proof read and my spell check does it's own thing which drives me crazy even if it's a short drive Sorry peoples.
Haven't reviewed that one yet, but I like it.
For outdoor blades, 5160 is very good.
I'm on a temporary vacation from TH-cam, enjoy the old vids, for now.
Definitely not the Parang, I tried lol. I think the Warlock or maybe the Outback, because they are topheavy and wide.
I love my Warlock and Solobolo.
I have a number of Condor machetes and big blades and at least two of them to handle wood has shrunk and receded past the tang of the metal
It hurts to see some of my favorite Machetes discontinued.
Me too, but this is what happens after being into blades for so many years :[
That's the most truth I've heard in a while. Hell a Family friend has the Saber like Machete, third on the far right, for his son. I have to say, it's my favorite next to the Kukri.
My favorite is the first one.
The handle looks a little cheap but I don't think it feels cheap or hollow.
swiss gertels are my choice, really fine tool for 25$
you should give it a try
I like the village parang. Where is the best place to buy?
what would be the best 1 for all purpose use especially splitting smallers logs for fire wood
I would go with the Condor Bushcraft Parang.
Nice condor collection Juggle!!!
Damn you weren't kidding about the sound they make! That first machete was amazing. And whats the somewhat little machete that's the 5th on the left called? It looks cool!
Love to get your take on the Mini Duku 👍
Cheers
BB
ah, alright, couldn't find any reviews on it, was looking at them and some of the other Condor machetes and wasn't sure what to go with, your reviews on the Engineer Bolo, Village Parang and Pack Golok were good, I'm thinking of getting the Bolo, maybe all three eventually but we'll see
Can you tell me which one is the best one for survival, fighting and sharpest and strongest blade
Yes indeed, for both survival and fighting I would recommend a barong style of machete. Condor and Cold Steel make them, not sure if they are still available, but look for Barongs.
Thanks!
Which one is fastest in hand for cutting light stuff? Thank you for these videos!
Their traditional Latin design machetes would be the fastest, their current one is called The El Salvador Machete.
I am going to buy one. I am thinking either the golok or the parang. I was leaning more towards the parang because of it's length. I wanted it more as a cheap sword alternative then for machete tasks and I have become obsessed with Filipino blades. Which do you prefer?
For me the best is parang iban or parang (duku ) tangkin...
What would that Jungle Bowie be good for?
Great video! It even had a bit of that action tone to it :)
I just ordered the Condor Golok
Condor and Aranyik!
Nice collection !
are you going to do a vid on the golok?
Third from right: is that a friggin cavalary saber?
Nice vids.
Fifth from right, what is it?
I just got condors dynasty dadao and was wondering what its capable of. Its pretty inexpensive for a dadao and it has no reviews. So if you can take a look at and consider doing a review that would awesome.
What is that sword like blade? It's the third blade to the last.
That's the Condor Bush Cutlass.
I'm drooling...
Could you do a video of your entire machete collection?
Every single one, like in the cold steel video.
That would be pure blade porn...
How does this compare to the Aranyik ones? Which is more durable. Which would you prefer in a survival situation?
The Outback Machete
I'm planning on getting a Handmade Wakizashi with 1045 steel and was wondering if it could withstand light use (slicing thin branches). I'm sure it can but I would like to hear your opinion if you have any knowledge on the steel. :)
I've gotten the engineer bolo machete on your recommendation. Which would you say packs the heavier punch between that and the warlock?
Haven't tested mine out yet because of the snow, but I'm very much looking forward to it!
Out of those two I'd pick the Parang, it has more reach.
Have a Condor Amalgam? Cant get any reviews outside of PM101,not even on forums. Wonder why? Never owned a condor (seems kinda budget) wonder if its even heat treated
In general, does the steel they use roll or chip? 1075 seems like it would hold and edge 5 mins ( VS A2 or 3V) or even 1095
We got your flashlight BTW :)
Thanks for the video. I am looking for a new machete, and It made sense to me to look for an imported make from a country that has a jungle. I see you think highly of condor so is this your favorite machete company or is there another? Does condor make your favorite machete? Thanks.
How is condors bushcutlass? I've seen some reviews and some say the handle feels like a cheap hollow plastic.
Alright, which is least expensive?? Thanks.
Great video man, which one would be the best to throw?
Do you have any blades from a company called Zombie Tools?If you do,would love to see some cutting demonstrations with them.I have seen a couple of their videos,but would like to see what you think.
oh well.. enjoy!
hey, great video. can you or have u done a review on the condor parang? (5th from the right) i ordered one recently but cant find many good reviews on it. whats your opinion on the parang? i cant wait till mine arrives. thankyou =)
Awesome review!
could you test the Ontario spax?
What's the machete next to the bowie
Condor Combat Machete
why havent you got the kukri its the most popular
Hi, Israel, I have the Condor Golok, and I'm thinking of getting the Pack Golok, in your opinion, which Machete is your favorite out of your stable of Condor Machete's ?
Love my warlock looking at getting the discord
I'm up in Canada I love condor was looking to get village parang,pack golok or heavy duty kukri for camping do u suggest one to get or not get?
I would go with the Village Parang out of those.
Ok thanks
your favorite from the classic line?
im guessing: the Village Parang
yes it is
How is it possible you don't have the Eco-Survivor??? The one with the bright orange handle.
+PerceptionVsReality I have that one but I think I got it sometime after I made this vid
WeAllJuggleKnives I've had my eyes on the 14 model mostly because of the handle it'd be easy to spot out in the field, just not sure if I should get it or not? What do you think? Its only like $30+
PerceptionVsReality does anyone know what the difference is between the eco's and normals
Gus Burnett
The eco model have thinner blade, and the handle is plastic instead of wood
Great vid.
can the rubber handles of the condor combat machette be sanded down to make smaller or would sanding wreck the handle ? same goes for the different plastic type condor handles on the rodan type series as these handles are also too large for me to get a real good bare handed grip on
I'm sure the handles could be sanded or cut, and then wrapped with some grip tape, and it would look okay.
Great review, so after all the machete testing which ones would you say are the best for heavy chopping and the best for medium to heavy brush clearing?
The classic Woodsman Pal machete is very good for clearing medium or heavy brush. For heavy chopping, one of the thicker Thai machetes (Aranyik), or a heavy Golok from Malaysia, or stuff like the Condor Warlock or Condor Engineers Bolo.
WeAllJuggleKnives Thank you sir
Have you done the Lochnessmuk yet?
I don't really like the double edge.
Hey, I had a great question, I know we both are a fan of Condor, but have you paid attention to the Thai Enep Knife? Its large enough to be a chopper and I was hesitant to purchase it. I hope to hear back from you.
I haven't tried the Condor E-Nep, because I have a few E-Neps from Thailand already.
Oh, I see, Thanks for the Response, I will be trying that one next or the Crocodilian Machete, though the Lochnessmuk looks promising, I am new to TH-cam, and i will be making knife reviews, I also am making knives. Thanks for your time.
-F
GreeenApplez I like my lochnessmuk does the job well took me quite a while to sharpen it but that's been with most of condor its really my only gripe I own 6 condors. the sharpest out of box was the only SHARP one was the Dundee bowie great products stupid tough
I've actually NEVER had quality issues with Condor Products, and I own quite a few, Check out my channel for the review of Three. Thanks for the response though! It is the next one on my list.
Have you tried the Thai Enep yet?
That's their Parang
Which one would you take into battle against Scum?
Probably the Hogsticker or the Cutlass Machete.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives The Cutlass or the cold steel Gladius? Which would you choose?
I would choose a Cold Steel Cutlass, has more range, easier to just stick through zombie.
@@WeAllJuggleKnives Thanks👍 The Gladius is out of stock for now.. I'll order it later🗡👌
AWESOME machetes :)
NICE!
