Would this or the condor bushcraft parang be better form chopping and cutting heavy brush
1463277
never owned a condor parang I would research it and watch videos but the ontario is rather light and tapers rather quickly making the last half of the blade really thin and full flat ground.... but is a tough steel so I don't know if I were you I'd get it because if you want a sure thing you'd want a cold steel guhkra kukri which starts at 150 bucks and goes up from there....

They both would do fine. But I personally prefer the kukri for it's looks. In terms of usefulness in the field they would both do about the same.

As far as i understand no one knife does everything. The companion is plenty strong but has a thinner blade so less metal has to pass thru what you're cutting. this would make it a better slicer. The heavy duty/robust has a thicker blade and tang so I would use it more for battoning/hevier work. Both give u a strong, light weight knife and both are $100 blade quality at the cost of a paperback book. Theyre light enough so u could carry both. the robust on your belt and the lighter companion as a neck knife. God bless

These terms are vague enough that it's hard to answer. "Heavy" and "small" are subjective. If you're thinking of snares for small game like rabbits, I have no doubt that you could chop branches that are just large enough to suit that use. I'm also pretty sure that with a little more effort, you could chop larger stuff. This knife is not at all pretty. It's on the large side and the blade is pretty clearly designed for batoning wood when you need to. As long as you know how to do it, neither of these things should be an issue for you at all with this knife.

It's a little short but would rank above a hunting knife but below a regular 20 to 24" machete. The Condor Tool and Knife Parang Machete 17.5-Inch would be better if you wanted the rigid blade a Parang Machete offers, instead of the flimsy machete type choppers. I have guns myself so any knives are for actual work and not zombie killing. I like serviceable, easy to sharpen knives with handles I can repair. There's no telling how long a zombie event will last but I'm assuming we will be in the dark ages at least 2 generations. Bear Grylls will be the first turned, in his hotel room.....don't trust him.

I don't know how long the blade would stand up to regular use on branches and brush. Honestly, the gladius shape isn't the most practical for brush work, so I'd recommend either the cold steel heavy machete, panga or kukri for that particular task.

It could cut such wood with this scroll saw, but it would be slow and definitely not my first choice of a tool for this. This Proxxon is designed to cut thinner and softer woods such as you need for making architectural models or general hobby uses such as cutting inlays or such. It really shines in this kind of use. If you want something for more general wood working or cabinet making that will go through heavy plywood and hardwoods you really do need to pay more and get a heavy duty scroll saw that is designed for that kind of work. My personal recommendations of saws for jobs like this to look at are the Porter Cable Scroll Saw for about $200 if you are on a really tight budget, or the Delta 40-690 for about $600 if you want something that will last a lifetime of daily use and make your work effortless.

If I remember correctly I believe it came with a brush cutting blade, how ever I'm not sure this thing really has the power to be very affective in large brush. It's been great grass trimmer and edging, that's what my gardener uses it for, but I'd get something with more power for brush cutting or dual purpose. Maybe even look into Stihl products for that. But it's been a great unit so far.

This a nice looking knife I would use as backup knife thick blade long sharp myself not my primary tool I like mine but I don't take mine to the bush. Some with more training might . I an not sure if I am qualified to answer your question

The robust has a much thicker blade than the other two, so if you want to use it for bushcraft/survival purposes this would be the bestbofbthe three. And because of the scandy gring mora knifes are easy to sharpen, but just as a recommendation for bushcraft and survival you might that a knife like this is to short for some tasks, that's why an almost perfect combination is a small act like the fiskars x15, long enough to de real work and short enough to be caryable.

The Robust and the Companion Heavy Duty are basically the same knife with a different color pattern. The Companion MG is also basically the same knife, but with a thinner spine. Any of them are fantastic as far as woodworking or bushcraft go, although I prefer the regular Mora Companion MG in carbon steel personally (I like the thinner blade because it seems to cut just a little bit easier). As far as sharpness goes, they will amaze you, and they are easy to sharpen, look up "Sharpening a scandi grind" on YouTube or Google.

Yes, the pivot action of the cutting edge is nice. That is also where the bulk of the weight is and cutting at eye level or above your head can get heavy.

Far better than both. Far sharper, yet the edge geometry is thick enough to keep an edge a long time.Be warned though, this is not your typical stainless steel machete. It will rust when the coating comes off, so treat it well and it will serve you for life.

The micarta handle absorbs sweat without making it slippery and likely to fly out of your hand. If you're using the machete often as I do, that singular feature is worth the extra cost. It also absorbs shock better, which your hand will thank you for after a couple hours of cutting brush. Side note - the leather sheath is very high quality, and the carbon steel blade takes & keeps a nice edge, but make sure to keep it oiled. I have an Ontario Knive Co. machete with a polypropylene handle and there's no comparison between the two... and I paid more for it than the Condor machete! Condor makes a good, solid product.

I have not used this one. I returned it and bought the Condor El Salvador machete. It costs more but the quality is excellent. It is definitely worth the money. Hope this helps.

I'm sure it can be used for "bushcrafting". Big, sharp cutting and strong enough. As I bought the Natchez for hunting purposes (dispatching wild hogs), and I guess it was primarily intended for fighting, it would not be my first choice for a survival knife. I perhaps would opt to use my Warcraft Tanto instead...

I would suggest the full grind BK-16 instead if your looking for a short knife. The BK-15 is more of a camp kitchen, butchering, or meal preparing knife.

This knife will take whatever you can throw at it. It is part of my edc however if its a camp knife that your looking for in this price range you might want to look at the Condor tool and knifes Rodan its a well built knife intended for bushcraft
