Condor Bushlore Fixed Blade Knife Review. A Perfect camp companion that doesn't talk.

The Condor Bushlore is one of the best value, basic camp knives on the market. This 4 inch knife is great for food prep and feather sticking and maybe batoning? This review covers ergonomics, offers some thoughts on batoning with wood handles, and compares it to other popular fixed blades. You'll see size and ergonomic comparisons between the Esee PR4, the Esse 6HM, the Moschus Tanto, and the Vangedal Rover.

The Bushlore looks like a good choice for those times I get lost in my 1/4 acre back yard. I can make a shelter and a fire until my wife calls me inside for dinner.

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

Yet another valuable reminder NOT to lift a beer to your mouth whilst holding a knife in the same hand. We lose more Bro's that way.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I know. I almost got myself again. Good think we're born with two of em!

[@charlescollier7217]

"El Salvador being Spanish for 'The Salvador.'" I nearly spit my drink on the screen. I should have known better than to sip while watching one of your videos.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think that’s right???

[@charlescollier7217]

LOL! At some point, you really need to consider full time work as a satirist.

[@cosmicsloth246]

For the two people who gave this a thumbs down, I hope your plastic wrap forever only sticks to itself.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

We're at 3 now! Yay!

[@johnstewart4646]

Thank you for the review. This knife is on the list for my new camp knife. The only other review I found was 22 mins long and still didn't know anything about it. Keep up the good work.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

If I ever make a 22 minute knife review, kill me. Wait that means maybe I got a sponsorship. Nevermind!

[@davidwatson3035]

Great writing and delivery as always. Deadpan, bang on. 👍👍

[@davidcoats1037]

Your mastery of the pointy stick is impressive good sir. Two thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Lot's of practice....

[@AIRWARFAREGROUP]

Best knife review video ever!!!

[@mityjoeyoung8855]

That is one of the best looking knives. I love it ! The price is beautiful too...

[@SethMangan]

Thank you for the great review of the Condor Bushlore

[@prometheusred6919]

I honestly don't think I'd care what you were talking about, I'd find out amusing. Love your style and wit.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks for watching!

[@ricardoanaya8136]

All I have to do is think about a knife, and magically advanced knife bro posts a video about it! Amazing

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Think about how I need to get a bunch of free ones!

[@SandDownSouth]

In all of my years watching KZbin I have only left several comments. And this is one. I’m buying this knife because you are funny. I too am funny. Thanks.

[@Verus3]

I'm great at the pointy stick! Especially while doing the beer drinking. Once the snow melts and the sun comes back I'm going to craft all the bushes.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

In the meantime, beer drinking in the snow allows you to write your name. TRY AND DO THAT IN THE SUMMER!

[@CVNOU]

“The Salvador”, that’s awesome. Lol.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I think that's right!

[@KentSurvival]

just come across the channel, loving your style.. great job... (plus I love the Bushlore ;)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Welcome! Thank you!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

fiiiirrrrsssttttt

[@ryandelehanty8368]

Advanced Knife Bro savage

[@josephdykes1820]

Biiiiitttttcccooonnnneeeccctttt! Damn autocorrect. I meant second!

[@pixellivesmatter8409]

That's cheating..... :(

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Somethings fishy about that autocorrect!

[@josephdykes1820]

Lakshmi Narayanan Srinivasan Yes it was!

[@nickkazarian3334]

Another excellent video, thanks!!!

[@ringingsteel2432]

That camouflage cold steel hat really captured their target demographic. Bravo marketing team.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hell yeah!

[@ianmccoy13]

Love my bushlore. My wife is happy I can amuse myself with it when playing out in the woods. To respond to your input regarding my recent flashlight dilemma (I.e., I lost my s2 baton) I ended up with the s30r baton iii. Just arrived today and I like it a little better than the s2 I think. At least the interface is a little snappier.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nice! Glad you like it!

[@ianmccoy13]

Advanced Knife Bro aaaaaand I forgot about the d4. This is how it starts, isn’t it?

[@pieman7]

I love how you try to drink beer with the Condor Bushlore. Entertaining yet again, Bro

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You'll poke your eye out, grown man!

[@joekasperek1086]

What can I say,your awesome can't wait til the next one

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's coming today!

[@ronagoodwell2709]

Man, there are so many bushy, woody knives out there I can't keep track of them. Everybody is making them. Good to see a review that presses some buttons and doesn't waste a lot of time with fancy feathersticks and sparks and dead squirrels.... Finally. Looks like. Condor Bushlore Somethingorother is the ticket to happiness in the great outdoors. I'm down.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Condor is a big offender. They have 6 knives that look almost just like this

[@jscoyle1]

So it’s been a couple of years, do you have a follow up? Love it, hate it, broke it, sold it on fleabay?

[@explorerextraordinaire5472]

Now that's something the whole family can enjoy :D

[@williamprendergast6510]

Buying knives as an investment is an excellent way to lose money.I tell my wife that the handles on the knives are too small for me and I have to buy a new one.Three hundred dollars for a Bark river knife,when I could have bought 600rounds of 243 ammo or A1,000 rounds of 223 ammo.Thats what happenes when you have really big hands triple X gloves,might shop around for a Condor knife.Seriously I sold ten as new knives at a knife show,Helle,Ka-Bar Boker martini still in the boxes unused.But I only got thirty-five per cent of the value of the knives.Might purchase a new Fallkniven knife for throwing sugar at.Stay safe.👌🤠

[@alittleolder]

Fantastic Review. Well as much as it can be for a knife I am not even remotely interested in. But as always the script was fantastic and funny and we really don't find that often in the gear community. You really are doing God's work. Thanks!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Or Satan's work? Thanks dude!

[@alittleolder]

Well. That maybe but just in a soul for talent situation. So I hope you brokered a good deal. Although next time make it at least Cable Sitcom and not just "youtube gear community famous"

[@ETSUNOSUKE]

cool video!

[@jarheadmarine5655]

When it comes to knives, who's in the know? I get all of my reviews from the Advanced Knife Bro!!!

[@chones01]

You’re funny. Definitely going to check out more of your videos👍

[@tonycanniffe2360]

The mini version is called El Chapo. The steel is 1095 ish

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The Chapo!

[@MrV2u]

So how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if he had that knife?

[@prometheusred6919]

Killed it!

[@hawkknight4564]

Yes we know all about your low hanging dangle because of it’s heft, weight and bulbousnessiss. Not all of us are as blessed as you.

[@jnelly814]

Why do I love knives so much right now.

[@jamesmin2837]

Jim Nelson You wouldn't start that if u got stabbed bro. You would hate em.

[@jnelly814]

I can't tell if this is a low-key threat. Also one time I ate pizza and shit out a brick of cheese and couldn't sit right for a week, but that hasn't stopped me from loving pizza.

[@jamesmin2837]

I thought it was only asians that were lactose intolerance? FYI I am not racist.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Weird. One time I ate a brick- and turns out I still love them.

[@jamesmin2837]

Only white people would eat brick.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Goodish job!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thankish!

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Is it a saber or scandi grind?

[@MrJoshDoty]

I liked the review. I got a knife today, An Ontario Falcon. It has a micarta handle but it is not shaped well.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That one doesn't look too bad- what don't you like about it?

[@MrJoshDoty]

Advanced Knife Bro the edges of the micarta are not well rounded off. I think it may need to be contoured more. It’s a nice knife overall.

[@MrJoshDoty]

Advanced Knife Bro A picture is worth a thousand words. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWPMgoWkeN2NpdE

[@michaelrossi3707]

Don't do what Donny Don't does!

[@danofiremano]

Your ramblings make sense in a nonsensical way & the Bushlore is a great knife that I've had the pleasure to use on numerous occasions since my BCB (Bushcraft Bro) has had it for about 8 years!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep it's nice!

[@Pterrordactyle]

would you ever review a guN?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Probably not. Don’t have the time money or energy. I am a gun owner grew up around them, but don’t feel the need to review them.

[@andrewplaysoutside]

That's not a flat grind. It's a Scandi. Great video!

[@FrumpyPumpkin]

Brilliant.

[@Nulrom]

You are the best. You are ironic, prepared and your videos don't take 25 minutes to watch. You go to the point. Great knife btw.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@josephdykes1820]

Your bestish (or farthest northern) vid yet!

[@Pew7070]

Doing what you do the way you do makes me do what I do the way I do than in turn helps you (or not) do what you do. #tooheavyforyoutube Stay awesome you beautiful creature! It doesn’t matter what you play with in this recording. I just listen to what you say and I’m good! Thank you!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL.

[@Pew7070]

Advanced Knife Bro I’ll take your advice seriously and implement it adequately. Heil AKB!

[@hermankaljo3275]

"cannot afford it due to my knife habit... Ooh wait!"

[@3p1cand3rs0n]

OMG did you guys see that? He just crafted the sh*t out of that bush! Stupid bush was talking all that smack, bushing around like it owned the place, talking 'bout, "I know you ain't got no craft. I know you gonna take your dangly-sheath, no-jimping, sissy-girl baton and run home to your momm..WHAP... ...when Ol' Hanlen whupped his craft out and crafted that bush upside the forehead like some kind of tactical bush ninja pirate. As he walked away, I swear he growled, "next time, I bring the micarta."

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I beat that bush, and not around it!

[@proudtex]

Micarta more resistant to whacking it! LOL! But yes. Micarta doesn't break with abuse where wood, or even stabilized wood handles can...which according to Murphy, means they will. Nice review. I already know from experience that I hate the knife, but I had to watch. If only to see what quips you'd have to say about it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Question... what do you hate about it. I like knowing what works or doesn't work in a knife for other people.

[@proudtex]

The one I used didn't hold an edge for squat. It chipped and rolled. For around $50 it's over priced for 1075 Carbon Steel. You could go to the local tattoo parlor that sells knives made from files and get a better knife. Yes, there's one not far from me. I personally wouldn't baton with a knife that length, not that I really baton (hatchet), but I'd rather use a Mora Knfe in that size. Cheaper, stainless, etc...I don't have anything against carbon steel blades, but I lean towards D2 or A2. Might be a couple dollars more, but you can find them on a budget. Bottom line, mine didn't perform for me. I am hard on my knives though. Even my expensive ones. I don't baby them, and have NONE in a display case.

[@brokenspear6604]

The intro to this was some of the funniest shit haha

[@danielrobinson7872]

The Vangedal looks like a fixed blade Opinel. I wish Opinel would make a fixed blade.

[@udoodu8023]

Damn. You are good!!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And I've always been told I was average, thanks!

[@dezijohnson17]

I like the look of that knife thanks. Next time, open your beer with the knife because that is also important

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I thought about it. It's the thought that counts right?

[@PrimeTime345]

[@bradleyh8044]

Advanced Knife Bro WHERE?!?

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Scandinavian grind bro

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It looks like it, but it ain't. I have several knives with Scandinavian grinds, and this comes microbeveled. Blade HQ says flat: www.bladehq.com/item--Condor-Bushlore-Knife-Fixed-Blade-w--11206 Some dude in the thread calls it a slight convex: www.bladeforums.com/threads/sharpening-a-condor-bushlore.961099/ And someone also calls it a slight convex: www.bladeforums.com/threads/scandi-grind-questions.1177337/

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Advanced Knife Bro could be what they call a scandivex. Condor use that grind quite often . It is kind of confusing.

[@eddieking2976]

I think you've been out in the bush"backyard" to long. You're starting to look a little bushy. Nice review bro :-)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I shaved yesterday... back to my regular look of pasty white guy, instead of teenager trying to grow facial hair.

[@jeremyparsley8470]

Do u like slip joints?

[@tonycanniffe2360]

Jeremy Parsley He loves the Ooopinel which has a lock. Doesn't mind the Douk Douk, when he can find it. So yes, but they're not tacticool enough to get regular pocket time.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Is a Benchmade Fact tactical??? Is it??? Oh probably.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I like them fine.

[@jeremyparsley8470]

Advanced Knife Bro I really enjoy ur view points have u ever thought about reviews on old split joints?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I plan on doing a few... got a cudeman slip joint coming soon.

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks, crusty Bro! Man, all that "camp" work. Sure does make a guy thirsty.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That’s why you bring a case!

[@dozerjohn]

A lomg time ago I chipped out a large chumk of micarta from a Busse Leaner Meaner Street. Guess how, I bet you know how.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Batoning!

[@dozerjohn]

Advanced Knife Bro batoning with an actual hammer. INFI steel took it well but the scales not so much. Thank gods I am much less retarded these days.

[@skookumdanger]

Advanced Bushcraft Bro? 🤔 Has a ring to it...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I hope it's not taken!

[@skookumdanger]

Advanced Knife Bro Better trade in them jeans for some fancy canvas, leather and wool pants...trade in your ball cap for a Indiana Jones style hat, grow a beard...😂

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I do have canvas and wool pants. I just don't wear them often on video.

[@lornesmith9068]

Fun video but that's a Scandinavian grind, not a flat grind.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Let me just repost what I posted when someone else said this: It looks like it, but it ain't. I have several knives with Scandinavian grinds, and this comes microbeveled. Blade HQ says flat: www.bladehq.com/item--Condor-Bushlore-Knife-Fixed-Blade-w--11206 Some dude in the thread calls it a slight convex: www.bladeforums.com/threads/sharpening-a-condor-bushlore.961099/ And someone also calls it a slight convex: www.bladeforums.com/threads/scandi-grind-questions.1177337/ Whatever it is, it ain't a real Scandinavian grind. They don't have microbevels. That other guy then revised his answer to Scandivex.

[@lornesmith9068]

Always thought Condor did a nice job on this one. You have plans to pick up a mini? Rock on Knife Bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Not at this time... however never say never.

[@BrodyToYou]

You think you’ve got someone sort of figured out, until they put a camouflage hat on.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And a Cold Steel one at that! What the fuck is wrong with this guy????

[@mattkandel2449]

I didn't even see a hat in that woodsy backdrop.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It was like I had the top of my head removed!

[@BrodyToYou]

Advanced Knife Bro is that the Cold Steel hat that all of the sales reps wear?

[@MrRPM110]

What's the steel?

[@13bravoredleg18]

1070 carbon steel

[@moparhemi1777]

1075* ... not much of a difference. Note that Condor's 1075 is fairly soft, even on their knives, so expect a thin scandi-edge to roll against harder wood (happened on my Bushcraft Basic 5"). Could be a thing of luck getting one thats good to go. But then again, the american prices on these are great, so don't think about it too much.

[@MrRPM110]

I like Mora knives

[@moparhemi1777]

Their UHB20C (similar to 1095) is definitely higher in quality and tempered to a higher hardness (58-60). I prefer it to Condor's 1075.

[@MrRPM110]

Mopar HEMI thanks! How about their 12c27n or 14c28n stainless?

[@canbacondblecheese3023]

You should have called this review 8 minutes of the Condor

Could you fashion some pointy sticks and use them to hunt animals around your property with this knife...? Seems like the final determination to prove it’s Bushloriness...?! Also, more feather sticks and ferro rod strikes; Please!! The big finish would be the edge retention test on plain white printer paper. S cuts or U cuts in the paper suggest that knife being used was in fact crafted by magical elves who fled their oppression from tree baking. Implement these tips and your channel will grow exponentially!!!!

[@Orson1928]

If this outdoor companion doesn't talk does that mean I half to make up and talk about my own crazy Bushcraft adventures? Ugh

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

There's always the "don't talk"

[@Craig5926]

The boobies trap!🤣

[@ordinaryeverydayguy2593]

I wasn't convinced that you could actually perform bush craft until you said "I ain't got." That validated the stubbly beard, camo hat, and flannel shirt, which usually trip my hipster alarms. After appropriate deliberation, "north of" has been listed as approved for use in moderation. If your wish to add subscribers, consider actually twirling the wood when you baton it. Think about it. "Batoning" wood (another hipster-like conversion of a noun into a verb) and then actually displaying baton skills is ground-breaking. I should charge you for this stuff. I only use KZbin to torture myself searching through videos so I can cringe when I hear people pronounce the word "button" with out sounding the t's, but your channel is not like all the rest. I look at your work and think, "I can make a difference here." "The high- minded man must care more for the truth than what others think." -Ordinary Everyday Guy

[@brianmiller6055]

Careful now! The bushcraft police are going to get their undies all in a bunch.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Naw... they'll be like "this bro is legit!" At least that's how I think it'll go.
