Review: This blade will never fail you it is not possible for what it is get it - All right just to some it up this BEAST is perfect my wife and I we are in Twin city’s Minnesota By the riots that happened because of the death of George Floyd so to be safe I wanted a great knife for self defense when we go to get food and just whatever so I needed a chopper and a slicer in a compact but butch ass blade and for where I live to haha I’m in the woods but no one I mean no one even messed with me or my family when I strapped this beautiful monster on me . it is absolutely beautiful I was looking At the blade in the sun light and it is much more then advertised . It starts off with the hammerd blade that is so nice and rugged and smooth if you know what I mean very smooth to the touch unlike some cheep blades that try to make such a blade . And then in the light you can actually see layers in the blade like true Damascus steal . It’s a thick blade and dives down to a great edge that you can really work with to get razor sharp. it already has a hair shaving edge on the blade . I could not believe it to get that kinda steal for the price of 80$ Don’t even think about it get this beautiful hand crafted chopper that came from heaven and hell . And one other thing keep it lubed with wd40 or some good gun oil it will rust a little if you are out in the woods over night with the condensation with temperature drops. Review: A steal for the price - This is my first Condor product but won't be my last for sure. Blade is nice and straight, grind is even. The fit of handle to the tang is excellent, no gaps at all and finished very well. Shape of the handle gives plenty of leverage on swings to allow the weight to do the work. Edge was nice and sharp out of the box. I know a parang is supposed to have three areas of the blade for different uses but I ground down about 1.5 inches of the edge closest to the handle then wrapped that area in leather to allow me to "choke up" a bit on my grip for more control when needed, works perfect. Handle is finished pretty well but was a little slick so I wrapped it in some athletic tape. Took it out the day after I got it to my unruly, end of season garden. Brussels sprout stalks can be quite thick and tough but this parang went through like they weren't there. It's really more of a hatchet dressed up like a knife. Too short, thick and heavy for light grasses and such but that's not what it's made for, get a machete for that. Limbing, batoning and splitting should be no problem at all. For me anyway it's a bit large and heavy to hang on a belt but for my uses I wouldn't be anyhow. The sheath is awesome. Thick quality leather with great even stitching, heavy duty. Worth twice what I paid. If you have it in your head that this is some third world produced piece of junk, get over it. ## Features - Convex Machete: The Condor Village Parang is a machete featuring a convex grind, carbon steel blade with a walnut handle, flaunting a classic finish - Finish: Condor Classic Finish is a perfected process of hand hammering that gives a classic and enhanced look to an already well-made tool - Blade: It features a Carbon Steel Blade that is made from 1075 High Carbon Steel and is heat treated and annealed to about 50-55 HRC.

What is the diameter of the handle at its thickest point?** A: The thickest point is at the butt end or pommel as it kind of widens out into a bulb shape. At that point it's about 1 and 3/8ths inches, give or take. The rest of the handle is a little thinner and is pretty round. Based on your described hand size and mild arthritis, my personal opinion is it would be a little large and heavy for you for all but the shortest length of time. I'm a decent sized male, 6'1", 210lbs and it does get tiring. This parang is heavy, but does a great job. I also have the mini duku parang (also by Condor) it's every bit as well made and almost as capable as the village parang but is lighter and thinner in the handle and I think that would be a better fit for you. I love them both and the mini duku can do just about everything the village can. Best of luck with whatever you choose. **Q: Did it come with a sheath?** A: Yes it does come with a nicely finishes leather sheath. To me Condor put as much quality into sheath also. **Q: Does this item really take 2-5 months to ship?** A: No, this product would ship right away through us **Q: How does one preserve/protect the wood handle? Linseed oil? Tung oil? I've seen reports that the wooden handle can splinter/break.** A: I used multiple (5 or6) coats of Linseed oil. The direction of the grain of the wood will tell you if it's likely to break. Straight grain wood will be less likely to break. I also use Kiwi Conditioning Oil on the sheath. 3 or 4 coats at first and then just when it looks like it needs another coat. Same with the Linseed oil on the handle. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This blade will never fail you it is not possible for what it is get it *by J***. on July 20, 2020* All right just to some it up this BEAST is perfect my wife and I we are in Twin city’s Minnesota By the riots that happened because of the death of George Floyd so to be safe I wanted a great knife for self defense when we go to get food and just whatever so I needed a chopper and a slicer in a compact but butch ass blade and for where I live to haha I’m in the woods but no one I mean no one even messed with me or my family when I strapped this beautiful monster on me . it is absolutely beautiful I was looking At the blade in the sun light and it is much more then advertised .

It is a full tanged blade of a high carbon steel that can be easily sharpened to a keen razor sharpness. This is the best blade I've ever encountered yet, and I've owned several good machetes in my 71 years. The only improvement I could suggest about this machete is to add a hand guard, the handle is constructed of high quality oil finished hardwood that could become slippery from perspiration. The handle shape conforms well to the hand which prevents the tool from sliding backwards out of your hand, however the shape does also invite potential hand slippage towards the blade. Handling such a sharp blade caused me a little concern, so I glued a !/2 inch strip of brown dyed leather to the base of the handle to act as a hand guard. I also added a leather wrist strap through the eye hole to keep it secured to my wrist, while chopping. The blade edge will shave hair after just a little honing on a hard Arkansas stone, and stropped on the sheath a few passes. This is a really finely constructed tool, and a good Machete/meat cleaver. ## Frequently Bought Together - Condor Tool & Knife Village Parang Machete 12 Inch W/Leather Sheath - Durable 1075 High Carbon Steel Blade - Ergonomic Walnut Handle - Full Tang Machete for Bushcraft, Camping and Survival - Condor Tool & Knife Mini Duku Machete Knife with 10.5in Blade - Heavy Duty Camping Machete with Sheath - Hand-Crafted Leather Sheath & Walnut Handle - High Carbon or Stainless Steel - 18.5oz - Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, Compact Travel Hunting Knife Sharpener Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2127494-condor-tool-knife-village-parang-machete-12in-blade-hardwood-handle](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2127494-condor-tool-knife-village-parang-machete-12in-blade-hardwood-handle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
