What I like best about the axe is the RWholesale Knives
3.3-inch edge. Condor convexes it by
feathering the polished edge back into USA MadeAutomatic Knives.Europe
the faux-forged-cheek area of the head.

Not only does it look good but it also Switchblade Knives. Low-Cost Impor uto IGHTNING

cuts great. The poll has a nice flat face for Knives,OTF Knives & Butterfly Kn n ves

hammering.
The length of the haft and size of the

cutting face means you can also use the FREE SHIPPI G
Francisca as a hatchet or small axe. How- ON ALL USA ORDERS WORLDWIDE HIPPING
ever, the head is 1060 carbon steel and as
mentioned the Rockwell is not as high REWARDS POINTS PROG
as dedicated cutting tools, so know the
axe’s limitations.
In the end I like the Condor axe. For USE PROMO DE:
those who prefer something a bit more tra- OTF K
ditional looking but want to depart from
the standard tomahawk look, the Fran-
cisca is a good choice. It is a sweet little
thrower. As far as the axe function, there OFF
are other axes in the Condor line around FOR 15%
the same price tag I would pick fi rst. ALL
ORDERS!
