top tip when putting any blade into a sheaf dont push forward with the sharp edge better to push foward and in on the blunt side will make your sheaf last alot longer as you wont be slicing your leather enjoy your new tool
The older model has a distal taper. The newer ones don't. Check out Amazon, that is where I bought this one. Also the 2012 parangs all come with a sheath.
Look at the hilt. The new model's blade goes all the way through the handle. The older one stops about half way through the handle, (Full tang versus partial tang).
thanks for the review,ordered one of these 3 wks ago (camel train's a bit slow here in Australia)on the back of your review and a few others,can't wait for it to arrive.i have the condor hudson bay and h/duty kukri already (great big pieces of steel for the money).might make this one my new EDC knife.lol.
Ok thanks! This may be a bother but could you send me the link to the exact model you bought, there are many different parangs they have on Amazon, how much was this particular one?
Hey, how can i tell the difference between the old model and new model when ordering, could you perhaps give me the website that you ordered your off of, i am afraid i will order the older, thinner model. Thank you.
Malaysian and English are different languages of course. Each language has different stress points, intonations, pronunciations, and even were the voice comes from (back of mouth, front of the mouth, etc.) Thus if you said a certain word in English it would sound different to a fluent English speaker or vise versa (as in our case). No harm or disrespect meant it's just culture, language, and a different way of doing things that cause this common problem. It's just life lah.
That is correct, for 2012 the sheaths are included with all condor knives. thanks for your comment.

Was the chopping test performed with the factory edge or did you put your own on it?
is yours distal tapered? where did you hear that the new ones are not distal tapered?
I think you missed a page of that catalog, could you re do the video?
