Two front and two back pockets. Mora elderss Neckknife. SAK lite card and SAK money clip in the wallet. Leatherman wave in the smoke pouch. Then one of a dozen different 3 1/2 to 8 inch belt knives!

    My 3rd Heineken comment and BA opinion . I've had this same blade for 2 years and love it . The sheath is Excellent and edge retention on the steel is also Excellent . Some people have no concept of gripping the top 4 inches and using a blade like this for cleaning fish , butchering and skinning game or trimming their nails . Great video and time for another .... maybe a Corona and a slice of lime . ATB

    Love the Condor Golok, I have this one, and an older model with thinner stock, and the tang ends before the ball. Solid performance for years, and the steel is great, it’s tough and sharpens up real nice. I carry on weak hand side for ease of draw.

    100% agree with you on finger grooves! I always wanted a Golok. I also agree with shorter blades for chopping. But yeah the Golok seemed pretty effective for harder wood chopping! Too bad yours is now worth about $2 because you used it! Had you only put in the safe It might have kept up with Condor's spiraling retail value!

    If you are opening a path in the jungle then golok or parang (machetes in Indonesia and Philipina) is more suitable than kukri or even axe. Its also a perfect tools to open hard fruit like coconut or durian. Axe is more suitable in chopping a tree though.

    I really think you'd like the makara machete by condor. Ive got TWO. (bought one used for 80 bucks).
    Its 18 inches but has a much longer handle for better reach while still having decent one handed control due to the balance point.(because of the longer handle)
    Has more of a traditional machete thickness which is a plus in my opinion
    Its basically a budget SuperAssassin (you know, the thing Dan Keffler one hit TKO's trees with.)

    • @AdvancedKnifeBro
      @AdvancedKnifeBro  Před 5 lety +2

      The Makara looks awesome. I’ve thought several times about buying one... sometimes the amount of clicks I think I’ll get informs which one I’ll buy. That yoshimi one never did well... but this one looks like it could be a favorite. It’s definitely on my wish list.
