Condor Vipera Machete Fixed Blade Knife 12.81" 1075 Carbon Steel, Walnut Wood Handles, Welted Leather Sheath

The Vipera Machete is named after the genus Vipera, which includes most old world pit vipers like the Horned Viper. Like those fierce snakes it is named after, the Vipera Machete packs a bite. With a special texture on the blade, this 19.63" chopper can clear a campsite or a pack of predators with ease. The recurve on the 12.81" blade makes this a true slicer. The Vipera comes with a full grain dangler style leather sheath and is made out of the tried and true 1075 high carbon steel.
