The Condor Vipera Machete is a formidable tool, crafted to handle the toughest outdoor challenges. Named after the genus Vipera, which includes some of the world's most striking and dangerous pit vipers, this machete embodies the spirit of its namesake with unmatched power and precision. Designed by Joe Flowers, a zoologist, and seasoned outdoor expert, the Vipera delivers performance and craftsmanship suited for survivalists, adventurers, and bushcraft enthusiasts.

The blade of the Vipera measures 12.8 inches and is crafted from 1075 high-carbon steel, known for its durability and edge retention. Its recurved design enhances slicing capabilities, while the etched Damascus finish provides a striking visual appeal and added resistance against the elements. The blade's unique texturing adds a touch of rugged refinement, making it as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. With an overall length of 19.6 inches and a weight of 24.7 ounces, the Vipera is a versatile chopper built for heavy-duty tasks, from clearing campsites to cutting through thick vegetation.

The handle is made from beautifully grained walnut, offering a classic look and ergonomic comfort. Its full-tang construction ensures robust strength, while hollow rivets reduce weight and provide lashing options for additional versatility. The handle's design reflects Condor's commitment to blending tradition with innovation, resulting in a secure, well-balanced grip for extended use.

A full-grain leather sheath, crafted in a dangler-style configuration, accompanies the Vipera, allowing for comfortable carry and quick access in the field. This high-quality sheath not only protects the blade but also complements its rugged yet refined aesthetic.

Designed by Joe Flowers, whose expertise spans woodcraft, survival skills, and herpetology, the Vipera represents the culmination of practical experience and a deep respect for nature. Whether you're venturing into uncharted wilderness or honing your skills in the backyard, this machete is a reliable partner ready to take on any challenge.
