CONDOR TOOL & KNIFE BURMESE HUNTER MACHETE CTK1035-20.2-HC 1075 HC BLADE -SHEATH
I ordered a second one to properly practice Krabi-krabong, as these are preferably held in one hand for the martial art. It came in undamaged packaging. The product itself was unharmed from shipping. This one came with the same extras as the first, a cloth and sticker. The tanning on the sheath is a lighter brown than the first. It is better glued than the first, and more care was taken in shaping the sheath. It is slightly open on the end compared to the first that was sewn shut. The sheath on this newer Burmese Hunter fits slightly looser than the first, but not too loose. In fact, I would say it is just right. I did not get debree from the inside of the sheath on this blade when sheathing/unsheathing. The handle has a lighter brown finish, matching the sheath. Due to the same handle design, there is still parts on the engraving where it seems wood was chipped wider than intended, but once again, you cannot tell from a distance or while holding the machete. The different parts of the machete have varying length from the first. Nonetheless, they are pretty close. The center of balance is in the same place for both machetes. The blade is true but has minor imperfections on the spine. This blade did not come nearly as well-oiled as the first. The price was the same as the first one I bought. The delivery was just as quick, if not quicker. Overall, I am very pleased with the product. Every minor difference between the two machetes gives them individuality while still maintaining the balance of feeling like the same machete. All around, I'm going to rate this one a 4.8. Overall, the sheath was better than the first, and although I am not worried about the imperfect spine, it is an imperfection that the first one didn't have. Still a great product though. Highly recommended; not just for one, but two. These are super lightweight and able to be wielded in one hand easily.
