The Condor Vipera Machete 2820-12.8HC is a large machete with a cool appearance. This is a stunning and unusual-looking machete. A relief has been applied to the surface of the blade. The pattern is reminiscent of a giraffe's spots.
The blade has a convex grind. It's nice and strong, and can be sharpened with a strop. The blade is made from 1075 carbon steel. This is a strong steel that is easy to sharpen, and can also take quite a beating.
1075, however, is not completely stainless, so you need to clean it regularly and add a drop of oil once in a while. The knife has a strong full-tang construction. This means that the thickness of the blade runs throughout the entire handle.
The handle is made from walnut wood and secured with hollow pins. There is also a pattern on the scale. This pattern is similar to the texture of snakeskin. Hence its name, Vipera. The Condor Vipera Machete comes in a sturdy leather sheath with a belt loop.
