Condor Toloza

Post by Rolf » Mon May 23, 2011 4:25 am

Hello, Just came across this Condor Toloza knife. Condor is known for making good machetes and feature high on the bushcraft and survival forums. But their knives, like the bushcraft and bushlore models seem to get mixed reviews (solid material but rough and uneven grind). The Toloza knives seem pretty decent (at least on pic) and are available at knifecentre for less than 60 dollars.

Would appreciate valuable inputs from you all

Condor makes some good working knives. As some of these are typical 'working tools' the finish may not be great but the tool/knife will do its function flawlessly. Good value for money and at that cost you may even consider 'customizing' them to your preference like handle wrapping and getting a new sheath made.

Hope this interests you..I got it off Tactical Life website
After a few centuries of making military swords and knives, Gebr Weyersberg set up a factory in Santa Ana, El Salvador, in 1963 to better serve its Latin American market with machetes and agricultural tools. Around 2004, Condor Tool & Knife was formed to service the North American and European markets. In the winter of 2009, Condor was looking at expanding its line of machetes and tools and, through a fortuitous meeting, connected with Joe Flowers, a regular contributor to Tactical Knives magazine. In the short year that has followed, Condor has rolled out a whole new line of knives targeted directly at outdoorsmen.
