Review: Best production "machete" on the market. - Maybe something by bark river or some other $300 + parang/machete is better but anything even close in price this thing crushes them. I know it's better than the following for sure: Aranyik extended latin, kershaw camp 18, cobra steel talon, kabar grass machete, schrade schbolo and the old hickory 14" butcher knife as these are the other blades in this category that I own. The duku has a better size to power ratio than these, and even the Aranyik and camp 18 don't hit that much harder despite their being longer and significantly heavier. The duku is also very agile in the hand, it's hard to describe but it just "feels" better, doesn't feel clumsy or awkward at all. I can only speak for mine but it's fit and finish were perfect, the grip scales fit perfect, even the little wire wrap is smooth, the patina is nice looking. And the edge, oh my the edge and blade geometry, perfectly ground convex bevel and edge that came sharper than any other blade, whether sword, knife, spear or tomahawk, that I've ever owned, it's the only blade I've ever cut myself on while doing the shaving hairs test( which of course it did). It's also got a distal taper of almost %50, from 4.5 mm to 2.5 mm at one inch from the tip, I can't even name another "machete" that has that feature ( expensive sword reproductions do), which would be my guess why it feels so lively in the hand. The duku also has very good edge retention and I use it a lot. It can easily shear through wrist thick frozen hardwood branches ( I live in northern WI.) and chops very well on bigger stuff. I've used to baton no problem and have split 4" logs like an axe with it. I'm no condor fan boy either, it's more of a love/hate relationship and this one I happen to love. But I can see a potential problem for some users, the grip is kind of big and is very round( like a squashed tear drop), I wear size L gloves and once I wrapped the grip in a layer of grip tape (a necessity in my opinion) it's right at my limit of comfortable use. Also the sheath, while a typical (excellent) condor leather sheath, it doesn't fit as well as my other condor sheaths (two large knives) and the parang will fall right out if turned upside down. I didn't take a star off for these as the grip doesn't bother me and as for the sheath it will be hard to tip this over just using it normally. I live way out in the wooded back country and use these big blades almost every day, whether for work or fun and if I had to pick just one to always use it would be this one, no contest. One last thing, the cutlery world needs to come up with a new name for this category of tools. These feel and perform more like swords than machetes and that's especially true of the big duku, I hate calling it a machete which is why I put the word in quotation marks when referring to the duku. "Brush swords" or something, anything but machete, which are thin and flexible and have a flat blade with only an edge bevel while these are as thick as swords, have the flex of a sword and have primary and secondary bevels. Oh well these are just my opinions.
Review: Hmm...the Duku? NO REGRETS!! - WAY nicer than my big box store machete!! Well crafted, super solid construction. Fantastic blade. Well balanced and sits perfectly in my hands -- I read some reviews in which some say it is hard to get a good grip on the handle but I have absolutely no problem with that and find it very easy to get a very good, firm grip. On top of all that, the sheath is just as impressive!! I believe this will be a lifer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be a good brush clearer as well or just a chopper?**
A: Works as both, but clearing brushes takes a toll - it's fairly heavy.

**Q: How sharp is the blade when you first get it?**
A: I believe it was fairly sharp on arrival, sharp enough for a machete, but not razor sharp or anything like that.  I sharpened it further on my own.  It is a high quality machete.  With its heavy blade it performs very well.

**Q: This or the 18" el salvador micarta handle ?  diff ?  used for clearing brush / chopping small branches down / maintaining trails.   thank you**
A: The condor works well for small saplings and brush. Have used mine a lot and love it. The handle is great and helps to control the machete. Can't go wrong with it. Sharpens easily also

**Q: is it Full Tang all the way through the wooden handle**
A: Its design is perfect.  Yes its full tang high carbom steel with riveted wood handle.  My favorite blade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The second one I've ordered
*by T***N on December 14, 2023*

I loved my first one so much that I ordered another for my brother in law. These are a terrific tool in the NC mountains. They're more of a sword or knife than a machete, which is more of a thin, springey, thing. These work a lot better on the harder more bark covered plant life that we have. It is capable of chopping down smaller trees, but I wouldn't use this if I walked out of the house with that as my goal, an axe definitely excels in that territory. These things are a treat for limbing after downing a tree (~2" or smaller limbs preferably) or clearing a path through the woods. They resharpen easily and hold a good edge. A wrist loop is handy to have on any swinging device like this. One can easily be made with a loop of cord and a little spring loaded adjuster. The sheath works well enough, better than anything I could make. These are great blades.
