There you go. Cheap discount machete (still cost me more than that old US Army one that walked away) vs Condor Parang.
To be fair that particular discount machete has a better handle than the one I complained about it my first post. The Condor parang is no comparison though. I've spent half a day using it to trim trees and not raised a blister. I've had it for a few years now, and I am just now thinking about dressing the edge a little.
