With the development of the Pandur succeeded a synthesis of traditional European and Oriental forms, with the technical results of own experiences. The motto "Vivat Pandur" is often found on the noble blades of the 18th century. Pandours were the name of the free corps soldiers of the Prussian nobleman Franz Freiherr von der Trenck. His great physical strength, ferocity, and bravery often led him to risky actions. In 1741 he fought with his pandours for the Austrian Empress Maria Theresia.
The sum of proven characteristics and the charm of a historical epoch make up the special feature of the Pandur Knife. The stylistic basis of the handle was taken from the European saber handles of the 18th century. The successful symbiosis of stylistic perfection and high utility value will lead the Pandur Knife to a special status and thus distinguish every owner.
ABOUT CONDOR TOOL & KNIFE...
CONDOR Tool and Knife traces its proud history back to 1787, the year Gebr. Weyersberg Company was founded in Solingen Germany.
The quality of the swords, military knives, agricultural tools and household cutlery that they manufactured made Solingen the cutlery capital of the world. Over the generations, the world’s largest manufacturer of swords and knives found it necessary to expand its operations to other countries to better serve its customers.
In 1964 the company built a new plant in Santa Ana, El Salvador and filled it with state of the art German equipment. Some of the original local employees who were sent back to Solingen for extensive training forty-six years ago are still working in the factory today turning out the finest quality machetes, shovels and other hand tools.
Condor Tool & Knife’s parent company, Imacasa was formed in the 1980’s when the company decided to sell the Central and South America operations to local investors. Today, they are one of the largest machete manufacturers in the world operating 24 hours, 7 days a week to fill an increasing worldwide demand of its products.
In 2004 Imacasa decided to develop a first quality line of knives and tools for the North American and European outdoor markets. Condor Tool & Knife was born.
