I've been searching for years to replace an old USAF folding survival machete that I had when I backpacked as a kid. I wanted a heavy duty machete that could split firewood, clear medium to large branches on my property and basically replace a large camp hatchet or small camp axe.This thing really filled the bill. It cleanly slices through inch thick limbs and its thickness and grind profile makes it ideal for splitting wood. It is nearly a quarter of an inch thick and has a good bit of weight. It has a convex grind not unlike a hatchet or an axe which allows it to split and chop very effectively. The edge seems very durable. I chopped through a few 3 and 4 inch thick downed oak limbs that were dry and tough. No observable impact to the edge. The weight made the chopping easy without requiring a lot of effort. Handle and blade geometry made for good control.You won't be clearing a mile long path through the jungle with this baby unless you have arms like Arnold due to its weight but as a go to camp tool or something to keep in the trunk I don't think you'll find anything better.Quality was very good. As noted the handle is pretty smooth and requires a good grip. Adding a couple of strips of grip tape or roughening up the handle should fix that. Sheath is decent quality with no apparent manufacturing issues. The machete came fairly sharp, certainly adequate for the job. If you must insist on it being shaving sharp, a couple of licks with a steel or will take care of it without destroying the edge geometry.This isn't the machete you are looking for if you want to cut your way through vines or grasses. Between the edge grind and the weight it would be difficult for most folks to get the blade speed high enough for those tasks.This fulfills the mission I wanted it for. YMMV.

Came fairly sharp out of the box but after a couple hours of honing it was hair popping sharp. This machete is an excellent chopper. I've used it on various types of hard wood and never had the edge chip or roll. The weight alone is outstanding, your arm may become tired after extended use but it allows the user to obliterate wood. The sheath is very well made, it's not designed for quick access but serves the purpose of protecting the blade and you very well. The hard wood handle scales can get slippery, which is why I prefer to use gloves. Overall, you won't be disappointed with your purchase.

This is a BIG, thick, no nonsense machete. I've used it for processing firewood to slaughtering chickens. This thing chops through everything.The sheath is great and the belt loop swivels which is a KEY feature. The leather is thick and tough, and the rivets are heavy duty. I can safely wear this blade on my hip while I'm trekking on horseback.I highly recommend this Machete for moderate to heavy duty tasks. Keep in mind it is NOT a light machete at 5mm thick. So don't have expectations of trail blazing or swinging around like a sword. It's a different classification of Machete than that.

I just used this for a week clearing brush and small trees in Hawaii and it did a great job. The blade is incredibly sturdy and is weighted well forward so that it chops easily through inch thick limbs. The handle is comfortable although I was wearing gloves so I can't say whether it would blister unprotected hands. The finish is gorgeous, it looks like a movie prop even after chopping through the jungle. It went through three days of heavy use before I felt like it needed sharpening, and there's enough metal there you could sharpen it for a lifetime without wearing it down. The sheath is sturdy, functional, and looks great, although the snaps started rusting and needed oil.Something to think about though is that this is a rather heavy machete. This makes it incredibly effective at chopping fairly large tree limbs but for light brush work it can wear you down as the day progresses.Overall, this is a beautiful machete and a highly effective tool.

The Condor Engineer's Bolo machete I received was very well made with quality materials. The steel is well tempered, the blade was somewhat sharp when I received it and the handle and sheath are very well finished. I spent an hour sharpening the blade using my diamond hones and Japanese water stones. It is now razor sharp even though the blade stock is quite thick at 5mm and the convex edge is more difficult to sharpen than a saber grind. This machete is heavy in comparison to most other manufacturer's brush tools. It excels at chopping hardwood and the belly of the blade and the handle angle enhance the slicing effect of the strike. Superimpose a Khukri design over the Engineer's pattern and you will see that there are similar aspects to their geometry. If I allow the weight of the blade to work for me, this machete really cuts deep. The Engineer's bolo will now replace my Camp axe when I'm hiking in the woods; it's lighter and more versatile. The blade contour seems to be less likely to wedge in the logs I'm splitting for firewood than regular saber-grind machetes and the blade retains its sharpness for a long time.
