Condor Amalgam machete
Condor Amalgam machete
Part Kukri, part Parang, this hybrid combines the best of both worlds. With its distal taper and forward-balanced design, the Amalgam Machete is an incredible chopper. A small cross section near the choil makes it easy to use this large blade for small planing jobs as well. Condor has tested this tool in a number of environments and we are sure you will be pleased with the results.
