• Blade Thickness: A substantial 0.23-0.24 inches (approx. 5.7 – 6.0 mm), making this an incredibly thick and robust blade, built to withstand extreme punishment.
• Blade Grind: Utilizes a Convex Grind, renowned for creating an exceptionally strong, durable edge that slices efficiently and is highly resistant to chipping, ideal for heavy chopping.
• Edge Type: Plain Edge, factory sharpened to a razor-sharp finish, ready for immediate, demanding use. The robust spine is often designed to be suitable for batoning.
• Width at Widest Point: Approximately 2.36 inches (60 mm), contributing to its powerful chopping profile.
• Weight (without sheath): A commanding 27.0 oz (765 g), providing significant mass behind each strike for maximum chopping efficacy.
• Handle Material: Crafted from classic Walnut Wood, offering a traditional aesthetic, a comfortable grip, and natural shock absorption.
• Handle Style: Features a contoured, ergonomic, rounded handle with a slight “fan shape” at the end, providing a secure and comfortable hold during powerful chopping motions.
• Construction: Boasts a reliable full-tang design, where the blade’s steel extends through the entire handle, ensuring superior strength, balance, and unwavering durability under the most rigorous use.
• Handle Features: Includes a practical lanyard hole for added security and versatile carry options.
• Sheath: Accompanied by a premium hand-crafted black welted leather sheath (often described as “full-grain leather”), providing robust blade protection and convenient, traditional belt carry with secure buttoned retaining straps.

The Condor King Kukri Machete is a testament to traditional design optimized for modern heavy-duty performance. Its thoughtful construction and substantial cutting power make it the ultimate tool for those requiring maximum efficiency in the most challenging outdoor environments.
