    I love my Condor blades, mine are more heavy machetes but they’re fun to use. Saying that, I love my Tramontina machetes.
    The big zombie killers are fun to swing around. I’ve got some big Kukris that are mean choppers. I’ve put them to work on Australian hardwoods & fatwood.

      It’s definitely a tough knife but it’s pricey! I think all the money is in the sheath 😂

      ⁠The sheaths are very nice. Very thick leather.

      A mate of mine bought a tramontina and it didn't even come with a bevel. Its a mock machete. Thats why Im watching this video, Im buying him something halfway decent.

    hahaha, I knew you would eventually get one. The sheaths are almost worth the cost of the entire machete package

      I think the money is in the sheath too. It really felt a lot like a cold steel blade!!

      pretty certain I mentioned before, I have several different condors ... those are the machetes I carry when I feel like I have been slipping on the workouts :)

    Get yourself a steel ring & a piece of leather & make yourself a dangler to attach straight to the loop they provided. You can also use paracord as a quick fix option.

    I live in Panama. We buy Imacasa machetes down here. None are 2 lb's. I have a 22 inch Imacasa machete that is only 500 grams. I could't swing that heavy machete for very long. My Imacasa cost me 5 dollars and I like it. No one down here would spend 100 dollars on a machete.

      There's more hardwood and less lush vegetation up north here, so I guess that's what it's for.

    I have one of their 16 inchers, the Mountain Pass. It's a nice stealth option swiveled up under the arm and the handle tucked into my pocket.

    Condor's is always great. The sheaths are 10/10. My first big camp-knife was their Camp Golok and I still love it! For longer blades like I def. agree it's hard to beat a bombproof tramontina.
    Have you tried any of their crazier more fun-inspired designs like the Makara or Amalgam? I'm interested to see how practical they actually are :)

    I think Cold steel slightly different. I think they use 1070 vs 1075 that imacassa/condor uses.

      That snake was what we call a “black racer”. Some people call them rat snakes but aren’t all snakes rat snakes?!😂 They’re non-venomous and harmless.

    Doesn't look like a tool for working a full day shift clearing brush Try the 14 inch Tramontina bolo, it's light, sharp and cheap. Probably the only machete you'll ever need.

  • @John5.56
    @John5.56 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    If you’re death gripping that handle you’re killing yourself. Use a pinch grip with your pointer and thumb and keep the rest of your fingers loosely on the handle and flick your wrist. A lot less tiring if you’re spending a lot of time chopping.

      Some guys prefer that heft but I really don’t need it so much. It’s harder to recover your swing and much harder to stop it, should you need to.
