Condor Bushlore: Best Bushcraft Blade Bang for the Buck!

Preparedmind101 takes a long overdue look at one of the better affordable bushcraft knives out there, the Condor Tool and Knife Bushlore. With a 1075 high carbon steel blade and one of the best shaped handles outside of Becker, the Bushlore is a knife I wish I'd bought a long time ago.

That was my first bushcraft knife. Have beat the crap out of it and it's still going strong!

bought one, love it, it stays on my belt, EDC, thanks for the video .

Nice point on the coating...everyone seems to miss that when they review this knife. It's what makes this knife seem somewhat dull when you first try to use it. Probably affected it's ability to throw sparks as well. Also hard to sharpen on a stone until the coating wears of and gets out of the way. Looked at a bunch of reviews before I bought this knife myself and never saw it mentioned. Noticed it seemed to get sharper and carve better after using it a few times and saw the coating was wearing off the bevel. Good review.

I agree Chris. The Condor Bushlore is a great value. Thanks for this great review! - Bryan

I hate to be that guy, but I'm a native Nevadan and it's pronounced Pie-yoot. That said, I have had the Bushlore for about a year and just started loving it. I found that with a full Scandi grind the edge will roll every time. I had to put a very small microbevel on it and now it's almost indestructible. Thanks for doing what you do and please keep these good videos coming.

in a survical situation any knife is your best friend. people sometime are forced to use sharp edges of broken rocks to cut things. Some people seems to be complaining about how this isnt for survival, only for camping and backyard. if you dont have a knife in the wild and find this knife, it would be like finding diamond..

Best Review I’ve watched on this Condor!

[@MrJjbarragan]

Thanks for the video as always. Your hard work is very much appreciated. This is an excellent bushcraft knife. I had mine for over a year now. I removed the coating of the spine and now is better at producing sparks but is no Falkniven. Like it better than the Moras by far. Here it rains all the time so my F1 is the first choice. The Condor is my preferred summer knife. Thx.

Great review, great knife. I love my condor bushlore!

[@preparedmind101]

Aw Damnit! HOW did I miss a "321" edit cut! ARGH! I'm leaving it. It takes FOREVER to reload a finished video into the program just to cut 3 seconds off. Just looks terrible...

[@chewyandjasper]

nice review I got a bushlore just after they got rid of the shortened edge...great knife and its what I carry whenever im in the woods or at the lake...has not failed me yet ....keep em coming :)

[@EatCarbs]

Seems like a nice knife..

[@buffalo1a1]

I have to add I love the bushlore, I have used the heck out of it since april, even batoned with it, seriously anyone just starting out or just someone that wanted to try it, should be happy. I say again, I love this knife it will alway be in my kit, even as pack backup.

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsILK]

Another great review! I love my Moras. They're absolutely imperative for woodcrafts. Sometimes you need something a little different... I'm thinking these Condor Bushlores are just what I have been looking for...

[@TheLastZ0mbie]

Condor Bushlore is a good knife, used it over a year for fire prep, wood carving, cleaning fish and food prep. Also since the blade has a deep belly you can grip it from the back of the blade for very detailed carving tasks.

[@SteveAubrey1762]

After watching yours , and a few other reviews, I bought this knife. Have to say, it is well worth the money. It fits my hand very well, and cuts like a dream. I like it much more than my BK-2, which is a good knife, just so heavy it often gets left at home. MiF

[@nonjaninja4904]

This is such a cool looking, rustic blade.

[@sandwich6286]

I just received my Bushlore a couple days ago and I was surprised at the fit and finish. I'd heard there were some QC issues with the Bushlore, especially the previous generation, so I was prepared to have to regrind and sand it to my liking, but it came out of the box perfect. It was as sharp as a brand new Mora, which are amazing slicers in their own right. I bought this knife kind of on a whim, but given how much of a high-value blade this turned out it be, now I'm interested in in getting the Woodlaw and maybe a couple of the larger knives like the Moonshiner.

[@frankwebster8365]

I bought this knife 9 years ago, and still have it.

Damn good knife for the price. I was looking for an inexpensive bushcraft knife. I went with the micarta version. Not a perfect knife but I love it. Kind of grows on you. I would recommend it
