CONDOR NATURAL FINISH is a bare metal look, that has the appeal of a well worn pair of jeans. There is a special treatment over the top of the blade to help repel rust. WALNUT HANDLES are used in some of our machetes, knives and hatchets.They are finished with a smooth grip and are known for their nice dark look and long durability. CONDOR TORTURE RING is used constantly to test the quality of our products. Our blades have great flexibility and strength. Quality blades do not need to be thick to perform; thinner, lighter and faster is better.
