Its long micarta handle allows it to be easily gripped with one or both hands, The Condor Yoshimi Machete comes with a tan nylon belt sheath, complete with loops for buttoning the sword into place, making it a fantastic addition to any survival tool collection and an honorable companion for excursions into the wilderness. This slender machete features a short, stylish tanto blade made from high carbon steel with black traction coating, making slicing and slashing a breeze. The Condor Yoshimi Machete embodies both of these adjectives, bringing you a sleek tactical sword based on the classic Japanese style. Being carbon steel and not a knife I find this works just fine.In Japanese, the word yoshimi means beautiful or excellent, words that are often used worldwide to describe Japanese blades. Also, I like to get a small (fine tooth) file and ground the tang off to a rounded end and carry it for basic dressing of the tool when needed. I work with leather and this is something I would try myself. I don't know if treating the inside of your sheath with Neatsfoot oil or something like that would help to get it in or out, but loosening up the sheath by forcing (carefully) a thin board (like the old time shoe stretchers) down the sheath might give it a little more give and not hurt the leather if done right. This is how it was done on Man Woman Wild when I first saw it and liked the idea of using one.

It has a belt loop and the bottom can be tied to the leg (gunfighter style) when hiking and drawn out when needed.

Haven't tried to baton it for larger wood but it will get what you need for basic shelter and also deal with brush.

It's a good cross of machete/hatchet if one tool is enough for basic camping. I cut brush on the trails with it for about 4 hours on Saturday and I didn't find it tiring to use at all.

I found the blade somewhat springy and it absorbs impact quite well in my opinion. It makes short work of brush and will chop through a 4' poplar in no time flat.

Condor Tool and Knife 16-Inch UltraBlaC2 Swampmaster Machete, Walnut Handle, Leather Sheath. I find the handle a bit too thick for my hand. Cold Steel Two Handed Kukri Machete with Polypropylene Handle. It seems to be almost a cross between a kukri and a bolo. The blade doesn't curve as sharply as the traditional Nepalese khukuri/kukri. Add another 5 1/2' for the handle and this is a pretty substantial knife. The blade is of 1/8' carbon steel and 13' long. If you're not careful it'd be pretty easy to give yourself a nasty cut if you grip the sheath in the wrong way. It seems to me it would be better/safer if you didn't have to grip the sheath so tightly while pulling the kukri out. The sheath fits a bit tighter than I'd like with the blade design of the kukri, but I can live with it. It comes with a very good quality leather sheath.
