CONDOR TOOL & KNIFE traces its proud history back to 1787, the year GERB WEYESBERG COMPANY was founded in Solingen, Germany. The quality of the swords, military knives, agricultural tools and household cutlery they manufactured made Solingen the cutlery capital of the world. Over the generations, the world’s largest manufacturer of swords and knives found it necessary to expand operations to other countries to better serve its customers. In 1964, the company formed IMACASA with a new plant in Santa Ana, El Salvador and filled it with state of the art German equipment. Some of the original local employees who were sent to Solingen for extensive training forty years ago are still working in the factory today, turning out the finest quality machetes, shovels and other hand tools.

For the money, the Bushman® knife might be the strongest survival/outdoor knife in the world! Unlike most hollow handled survival knives, there is no joint or seam between the blades and handles that requires a mechanical fastener. Instead, the Bushman’s® blades and integral handles are each expertly cold forged out of a single piece of 2.5mm thick SK-5 high carbon steel. The resulting knives are expertly heat-treated and tempered to RC54 and, when subjected to our tests, have withstood over two tons of pressure on their blade/handle transition! Every Bushman® blade has been carefully ground to an extra thin edge, and then honed and buffed by hand until razor sharp. The Bushman® knives are versatile too! Their hollow handles will accept survival supplies or a variety of handle extensions which can maximize reach. Features continuously curved blades that are ideal for skinning, and will pierce, cut, slash, slice and shear like you won’t believe. Comes complete with our new heavy duty Cordura Survival sheath which features a utilitarian pocket on the front for storing small items.

Our two handed Kukri Machete offers so many advantages as a tool or weapon that it’s hard to know where to begin when attempting to describe them. Small trees saplings, vines, thorn bushes, cane, reeds, bamboo, corn stocks and sugar cane all fall to its over sized blade and very long handle. When two or four legged predators threaten, the two handed Kukri will make short work of them as well, as its broad, down turned blade features a surprisingly sharp point capable of piercing the toughest hide or lopping off the most massive limb. And, as an added unexpected bonus the two handed Kukri can be thrown up to 10 yards with surprising accuracy and incredible penetration.
