(Author’s note: At press time the
Steel Will had discontinued the 321
Courage. However, the knife should
still be available while supplies last at
select retail stores and websites.)

A REAL SWINGER
The Condor Tool & Knife Yoshimi
Machete is definitely more than a
handful—in fact, how about two
handfuls?
Th e knife is long enough so that,
holding it baseball-bat style, the 10-inch
Micarta® handle easily and comfortably
accommodates both hands. Th is is how
it is used. Trust me—employing it one
handed in like fashion to other smaller
and lighter machetes results in tiring

The modifi ed tanto blade of the Steel
Will 321 Courage pierces thick materials
easily—such as the thick plastic side of this
55-gallon drum.
