Condor Simbad Scimitar | Review | Kult of Athena 

At this point, for me, it is a choice between the "Dadao" and the "Scimitar". I think I would settle on the scimitar because it has a better thrusting tip on its blade. For a long time I was a big "fan" of Chinese War Swords, but then I saw the "Condor Simbad Scimitar" and its more exotic and less pragmatic shape. It looks like it's chopping potential is equal to the "Dadao" and still provides the superior thrusting potential. As a security factor, the leather sheath looks to be well made and has a bit of the ambiance of the "Condor" fastener work. It isn't designed to be a quick draw scabbard. One would just have to be ready or buy enough time to get the blade free for "work". I would prefer a leather, or parachute cord, wrapped grip. The nice wood could get slippery. But I could make this improvement myself. I may end up buying both styles and comparing their "feel". Thanks for the look at this beautiful and inexpensive weapon.

"See those Redguards from Hammerfell. They've got curved swords." *CURVED* *SWORDS*

Just bought this sword a couple months ago as birthday gift to myself. I love it, its a pretty badass sword for the price! I got it like 80 bucks on Ebay. The blade is the best design on a Scimitar ive seen in a long time.

Probably the sickest scimitar on the market, I love the looks of it. Come to think of it, the blade shape looks almost exactly like the scimitars you'd find in Skyrim!

That tree was like mad strong fuck sake 😅🤣🤣

Nice video. I have several Condor machetes, always purchased in pairs for dual wielding, used to clear trails on family property. The Condor Topanga is by far the best machete I have had and used. Though I am right hand dominant I work to try and "equalize" both right and left hand. The Topanga machetes are lightweight, durable, and easily manageable with either hand for me.

I'll refrain from making any comments about your "use" of the sword, but I will give you a tip: making your videos available in 720p and 1080p does not help if your camera does not record to the same or higher level of quality.

Only took 75 hits to get through the wrist.

Would love to see you guys do a video where you just take a bunch of your swords and do a cut testing session on bottles or tatami and just show off a lot of blades. Another great review though guys!

I own this one and Have to overall pleased. A bit expensive for a machete but also pretty cheap for a sword. Falls somewhere in the middle As a capable beater you would do things with you wouldnt think of with a quality sword. The construction is basic but well put together and still an interesting Comfortable design., You could probably break it if you really really tried but everyday abuse no Worries it would take it fine. Would i recommend this , yes. Fun little blade for $100-$130.

I have knives that cut better that that thing. Also put the wood that you are cutting on something stable and solid. It helps a lot. That limb bouncing wasn't helping your cuts, but still, it should cut better than that. I suspect that the blade was actually dull.

Best way to test a blade is to show someone who doesn't know how to use it attempt to use it. If an untrained person can make it look good, it's a good blade.

Definitely good enough to belong to a dark elf!!!!

really digging these videos. keep it up!

Because of the knife like full tang with riveted handle scales this is not a scimitar, but a messer. Scimitar have internal tang that are peened or screwed on from the end to the handle.

Definately buying this one

I'm here because of that Clerk who draws the sword from a robber with a machete.

I used to carry a short katana sword for clearing brush on trails, here in my neck of the woods. it worked great for me. this sword looks mean. lol

Lets face it, this thing is better at hitting people than “hiking work” like he said. Lol

Dont you have a larp website

Nice blade.

I would like to have it but it's too expensive for me

Search “how to use a machete” .... please

A "good blade for utility work?" You are joking, right? It just took you 47 strokes to get through a 3" limb. This is a cool blade, with impressive durability, but to say it is "good for light bushcraft work" is laughable. It's design is terrible for such work.

Darn! Its "Out Of Stock" as of today 1/27/21.

Why in the unholy name of fuckness are you loving the negative comments?

A scimitar is a WEAPON, not a bush knife or a toy.

the gator gurbur

That thing has an extremely exaggerated yelman, it almost looks comical.

You got to act like it’s a broad shoulder wack fast and hard it’ll go through.. those unsure hits will get you killed lol

Drizzt Do’Urden

Bushcraft meme

This is a machete lol

Hit it with your purse already!

You guy chopping like a woman

You should have used it to cut off that silly ass ball of hair you got sitting on your head!
