Comments

Rob: Ergonomics are great - feels good in the hand.

Very nice looking.

For the price I expected a shipped sharper blade. Machetes can be time consuming to have to sharpen.

Amazon Customer: I use this for making kindling at home. I set it on the top of the log and tap with rubber mallet. Works great well built and will last. Too heavy for backpacking.

Joshua N.: All right just to some it up this BEAST is perfect my wife and I we are in Twin city’s Minnesota By the riots that happened because of the death of George Floyd so to be safe I wanted a great knife for self defense when we go to get food and just whatever so I needed a chopper and a slicer in a compact but butch ass blade and for where I live to haha I’m in the woods but no one I mean no one even messed with me or my family when I strapped this beautiful monster on me . it is absolutely beautiful I was looking At the blade in the sun light and it is much more then advertised . It starts off with the hammerd blade that is so nice and rugged and smooth if you know what I mean very smooth to the touch unlike some cheep blades that try to make such a blade . And then in the light you can actually see layers in the blade like true Damascus steal . It’s a thick blade and dives down to a great edge that you can really work with to get razor sharp. it already has a hair shaving edge on the blade . I could not believe it to get that kinda steal for the price of 80$ Don’t even think about it get this beautiful hand crafted chopper that came from heaven and hell . And one other thing...

Wolfgang Gaspar: den obengenannten Rezensionen ist eigentl. nichts mehr hinzuzufügen. Die Scheide habe ich so umfunktioniert dass ich sie ( links ) quer am Gürtel tragen kann. Obwohl das Haumesser recht klobig ausschaut , hat es doch eine recht "feinfühlige" Seele... es ist unglaublich was man mit der Klinge alles bewerkstelligen kann. Nicht nur grobes Hauen und Schlagen ... nein ... auch als feines Ziehmesser, zum Schnitzen und feinem Bearbeiten von Holz und sogar NAHRUNGSMITTELN ist es bereit. Es macht seinem Namen HAU - Messer wirklich alle Ehre! Es ist mein ALLROUNDER...

Mike: Ich kannte die Firma Condor vorher nicht aber wenn man sich informiert ist es wirklich interessant....
Die Firma produziert in El Salvador und hat seinen Maschinenpark in Deutschland eingekauft, weiterhin haben sie Ihr Personal wohl in
Solingen schulen lassen.
Zu der Machete sie ist sehr gut verarbeitet und wertig, auch wurde die Scheide sehr oft in Videos schlecht bewertet, was ich nicht nachvollziehen kann.
Sehr dickes Leder und die Machete lässt sich sehr schnell ziehen und darin verstauen.
Ich habe mir die Machete als Universalwerkzeug für mein Bag Out Bag und Camping gekauft und finde sie mit den Gewicht gerade noch für den Rucksack geeignet.

Thomas.B: Nach 10 Monaten Benutzung bin ich immer noch hoch zufrieden. Für mich dank der moderaten Länge ein unentbehrliches Werkzeug zum Entasten, Gebüsch- und Baumschnitt für den Häcksler vorzubereiten oder um Holz kleine Mengen zu hacken wenn die Axt gerade nicht zur Hand ist. Der Eine oder Andere Nagel hat nur minimale Spuren an der Klinge hinterlassen. Der Pflegeaufwand ist überschaubar. Klinge abwischen, hartnäckige Verschmutzung evtl. mit einem Polierstein entfernen Ballistol drauf und fertig. Auch der Griff und die hochwertige Lederscheide bekommen gelegentlich etwas Ballistol und sehen aus wie neu. Ich würde diese Machete wieder kaufen aber so wie es aussieht überlebt mich das Teil ;-)

Vince C: Before purchasing this item I read a lot of reviews that stated it was dull out of the box. Mine was fairly sharp out of the box and only took a few passes on a sharpening steel to make it hair shaving sharp. I believe that the protective coating they put on the blade makes the blade feel duller than it really is. I also read that it had a very blunt cutting edge and had to be ground down a bit. This was not the case with mine. It is heavy, but it's manageable. Wouldn't want to use it in place of a light machete but could definitely take the place of a small hatchet. I tested it on a treated 4x4 and it definitely performed. However, I did notice one small chip on the edge and a few spots of minor rolling after chopping. But with such a crude chopping tool, I'm not concerned about these small imperfections. The handle is thick but not overly thick for my hands. The handle came very dry and I treated it with some butchers block wax which solved the problem. I also did some minor sanding at the top of the scales near the blade. Not because of comfort but because the edges were so sharp I feared that it would chip very easily.

As for the sheath... Not nearly as bad as stated on...

Martin Mattausch-Wietzke: Ich liebäugelte mit diesem Messer schon eine Weile. Ich finde es toll das sie über Amazon auch in Europa verfügbar ist. Hab verschiedene Reviews und Videos geschaut und sie dann hier entdeckt bestellt. Lieferung erfolgte sehr schnell!.

Zum Parang.

Ein großes Messer die sich mit dem Wort "Awesome" am besten beschreiben lässt. Schönes Design und perfekt verarbeitet. Sie kahm bei mir sehr scharf aus der Box. (Ich habe aber in reviews gelesen das das nicht immer so ist bzw wenigstens ein bischen nachgeschliffen werden muss.) Sie hackt vorzüglich. Entasten ist kein Problem und sie schnitzt auch (für die größe) erstaunlich gut. Der Stahl hält einiges aus und behält die Schärfe sehr lange.

Der Griff schaut edel aus, liegt sehr gut in der Hand und der Knauf verhindert ein "aus der Hand" rutschen.
Ich habe ihn nachträglich noch geölt, was ich mit allen meinen Messern die einen Holzgriff haben mache.

Die Lederscheide ist meiner Meinung nach gut aber daran scheiden sich die Geister in diversen Foren. Aus meiner Sicht gibts nix zu meckern.

Mein Fazit:

Wer ein sehr gutes Haumesser sucht-> zugreifen!

Der Preis ist meiner...

mynamehere: Well, this is not going to be an overwhelmingly positive review (nor a particularly negative one), though truth be told there is not a thing wrong with the condor village parang or the seller, that a little elbow grease and patience couldn't solve. Had I ordered it with out having seen the abundant glowing reviews on youtube, I would truly have nothing to feel discontented about. Had I not waited for weeks for it to come back in stock, my disappointment might have been mitigated. However, since I did see those pesky videos, and I did have to wait an extraordinarily long time to get my hands on one, my expectations were (perhaps) unrealistically high and I felt let down when it finally arrived. Is that my fault? Maybe. I don't know.
First off, the parang came about a week later than amazon prime predicted. How does 2 days become 8? Am I mad about that, no, not really. I didn't need it desperately, (who in the continental United States, "desperately" needs a machete) but it did raise my anticipation just a tad above the stratoshperic level it had already reached because of the weeks of delay I had to endure for the parang to become available, anywhere... no vendors had them. When...
