- Order number: 1822-16HC
As is so often the case with CONDOR TK items, the knives and machetes always come in a particular style and often with a historical or mystical context. The Condor German Aviator Machete falls again into the category "recognition of historical events". It is meant to commemorate all the pilots who lost their lives in World War II and to commemorate a special event in which the famous German pilot Franz Stigler not only spared the American U.S. bomber pilot Charles Brown, who was virtually defenseless in his badly damaged plane, but guided him to the nearest safe landing spot. Condor's machete convinces in its traditional design, which really makes an good impression with a walnut handle and an s-shaped parry element. The black coated 1075 carbon steel blade is a full 40.4 cm long making its way mercilessly through the undergrowth. The black leather sheath is another plus and ensures uncomplicated carrying of the machete.

The history of Condor Tool & Knife goes back to 1787, when the Weyersberg brothers founded a company in Solingen to manufacture swords, military knives, cutlery and agricultural tools. Then, in 1964, the company IMACASA was founded in Santa Ana in El Salvador and the factory was well equipped with the most modern German tools and the employees were sent to Solingen for intensive training. Today, this factory produces machetes, axes, shovels and other hand tools of the highest quality. IMACASA was sold to local investors in 1980 and is now one of the largest machete and shovel manufacturers in the world. Then, in 2004, when additional knives and tools were developed for the North American and European markets, Condor Tool & Knife was born.
