This design is based out of Malaysia where their brush is much thicker. The blade has three main segments: forend for skinning animals, the mid segment for chopping and the rear for carving. The grip is a hardwood with a flared out square bottom that tapers towards the top of the grip. Because of the balance, I hold this past the flared bottom for more control.
This has a black coating which protects against blinding glare when working in the sun. The edge is exposed. Balance is excellent and I have great control. It is always best to swing in an arc or direction that moves away from the other hand, your face, and body. This is not designed for a novice, as it can likely and severely injure you. A bounce back or a chop that comes towards you can have deleterious and disastrous effects.
For a machete, this is as heavy as they come. It is very durable with respect to the blade and edge. I have used it to chop and cut with ease. An unintentional glancing blow at a boulder, and it dented the edge, slightly. Lesser blades would have been rendered useless, broken, or badly bent.
This has a leather sheath with two brass snaps. Because of the flared fore end, it would be difficult to make a design that would fit with just one snap. The sheath has a nice belt loop which swivels on a button. It is comfortable and keeps the machete out of the way when walking around the property.
Because this has no sharp point, it is more of a chopper, slasher and cutter, as opposed to a stabbing type of blade. If you need to stab, then it is best to go with a baring, Bowie, Tanto or Latin style machete.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the design. It's tough and it is a great chopper/hacker.
On the blade:
Blade thickness goes from .20 by handle, 017 midway down the 17 1/4" blade to .14 by tip. Told you it was a beast.
My file skipped so it looks well hardens and will keep an edge.
Came sharp with very fine grinding marks, much finer than I expected.
Blade was easy to clean up, I used with 200 then 400 grit, could go finer but didn't need to.
Should be easy to make to extremely sharp.
Balance point is 4" above handle on the 17.25" blade so this isn't a fast machete but you wouldn't expect it due to the blade thickness.
You could thin the blade to make it faster but then it wouldn't be a beast anymore.
On the handle:
As I said above, it's full tang through the handle.
Nicely finished hard wood, used some shock sheen and conditioner but really didn't need to.
3 very smooth, good size and flush rivets attaches handle to blade, very study, no burrs.
Large lanyard brass fitting.
Handle diameter is small at the front, good fit with gloves otherwise you may want to wrap. This is why I gave it 4 stars for ergonomics.
On the sheath:
2 sturdy size snaps on substantial leather straps.
Looks like good quality leather, well stitched and riveted.
Gave it a coating with Neats Foot oil, very little needed on outside, more obviously on inside.
Overall this machete is rock solid, holds a sharp edge and cuts great. Just be prepared to get a work out.
Now, I'm no jungle guide like some of the reviews here, just a normal guy that can appreciate a well made blade. I read the reviews, and knew what I was buying, and this is one sweet parang!
It arrived yesterday, but with the rains in my area it was a few days before I could try this one out. Right out of the box it has a really nice edge, so I knew it would cut like butter. I have a small property, but a lot of overgrowth on one fence line that needs to be chopped back on occasion.
Not having much time, I decided to clear about a 3 foot path made up of mostly palm frons and vines. Nothing major by any means. I hacked away for about 45 minutes and gave it a rest. This is certainly a heavy beast, but well balanced and very controllable.
While cleaning and re-oiling the blade (carbon steel) I noticed quite a few chipped edges. Mind you, this was palm frons and vines. No tree limbs, no metal to metal contact, not hitting anything larger than 3/4" tree branches. the whole time.
The blade made quick work of the light duty job, but I'm a little disappointed that there are so many tiny nicks on the working portion of the blade.
This wont take long to work out, and I expect to keep the edge maintained, but I wasn't chopping down a tree or anything.
In short, I love the parang, and I certainly feel like it was worth the money I paid. I won't hesitate buying another Condor, but I just wasn't expecting the nicks. Not a major deal I guess. If it gets worse when I actually use it for real work, I'll update this review.
Shipping was perfect, as Amazon has this down pat by now, no complaints there.

Reviewed in Mexico on August 14, 2020
diese ist aus stabilenm Leder und schön verarbeited.
zur Machete/Parang selbst:
-sehr stabil verabeited richtig gutes metall die ein oder anderen lack flecken am (echt) Holzgriff aber die sind nach den ersten arbeits minuten verschwunden.
-Äste von mehr als Daumen dicke sind mit einem Hieb ab, wunderbar!
- Auch Bäume von schienbeindicke sind in ein paar geziehlten schlägen zerteilt und entlaubt
-Problematisch ist allerdings das gewicht, zugegben ich bin kein kraftsportler aber auch kein schmalhanz und bin es nicht gewohn mit der machete zu arbeiten daher tut mir der arm nach einer knappen stunde schon weh und musste das stuzen einstellen.
Fazit: Sehr gute Machete für grobe Arbeite (evtl sogar zum holz spalten geignet), aber wer nur ein paar Buchsstäucher beseitigen möchte sollte lieber eine kleinere machete zur hand haben weil einem diese sonst abfällt :D evtl wirds mit etwas training auch besser
Wie die Haltbarkeit ist, weiß ich nicht. Ich benutze die Machete nicht.
Very solid, strong, and comes hand sharpened perfectly for a machete. Handle feels amazing. Maybe a little paracord loop just in case, cuz she's a little heavy.
Thanks,
