No word yet on when my SYK Guards will ship, but I did get a couple of new Condor Inca Knives. These have a useful shape for yardwork and jungle use. The edges came razor sharp. So here is a look at my Condor Blue Handle Collection: ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor001.jpg) The polished edge finish is amazing for a cheap knife. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor003.jpg) I like the swivel sheaths, too. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor004.jpg) My testing ground. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor006.jpg)

Oh the anticipation Vic! I love it when you get new blades. It always gives the Georgia Swamp a shiver to its very core! Please don't stop the camera! Whack it , chop it and share it!
Peace.

I can assure you that these are just work knives and not safe queens, PoP. I have a thing for machetes, I must have a dozen or more. Just because I love Busses doesn't mean I don't appreciate these light little workers. I have some new CS models on back order. I am planning an el cheapo chop off, and just maybe, if I am lucky, a FBMLE vs DFLE chop off. A 7" combat knife chop off might be fun as well. Time to give that Chris Reeve Green Beret some character going against the Yard Guard. Fun Summer ahead!
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Thanks Dan! I have a CS Panga from South Africa. It is an awesome machete. I use the big ones for serious clearing and the short ones for trail making and pruning. Here are some short ones: The Ontario. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor016.jpg) The True Temper: ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor012.jpg) The Collins: ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor013.jpg) The Condor: ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor009.jpg)

I'm expecting my Condor Combat Axe to show up today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll post my initial impressions later. I'm looking forward to it. I may get one as well.

It is good to have so many options. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor018.jpg) This Dog Father is for the heavy chopping. And sticking. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Condor017.jpg)

I just drooled on myself!! Dan, you have jungle experience. Did you use the Big Busse or a machete? Didn't you use an RTAK on one trip?
