Condor Village Parang 12 Inch Machete with Leather Sheath

Nice for what it is - it's a machete. Don't expect a fine or honed edge. You COULD sharpen it to that level but if you're using as intended, it comes sharp enough. Be careful though! Mine got stuck in the sheath. In the process of breaking it free, I managed to slice my thumb open. I was being careful too!!! Four stitches later, I decided it's plenty sharp for me! I plan to use it for hacking brush and tall grasses. I highly recommend it. It has a very nice weight and balance. The pommel or end of the handle is well made and very comfortable while still being grippy. The steel is thick and runs the entire length. The finish on the blade is coarse but I dig that look. Might not be as easy to clean gunk off but during use, less will stick to it. Overall, it's very nice and I have no regrets paying $70 for it! The seller is shipping the real deal as far as I can tell!
