Condor Cavelore - A Wonderful Bushcraft Knife

Condor Cavelore is a variant of the Bushlore. I think it's a great bushcraft knife and it has become my go to knife that I wear almost every day.

Man from a cave gives us the lore

Hej HEL-LO ! From the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

[@Wolf9of9Odin]

Nice video review Bjorn! Interesting looking knife, I will add it to the list of possible future purchases.

[@DuxLindy]

despite the flaw for being scandi ground, i actually prefer leaf-shaped blades. I like how they slice and how you can more easily rock the blade through cuts in some cases. i like that material has a tendency to be pushed toward the base of the blade and requires less pushing with your wrist, as well.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I like the Scandi grind, it's my favourite grind. It takes a bit more work to sharpen it when it's leaf shaped, that's all.

[@delendaestcarthago564]

I have a Helle Sigmund and a Fallkniven. They are both excellent knives. I’ll have to look into this as another.

[@richardackerman838]

I've been using the Condor Mini Bushlore for about six years. It is my EDC and I can shave with it. I recently ordered a Morakniv Kansbol. I will carry both knives. Condor really surprises people with it's quality and sharpness.

[@TheDavewatts]

Much safer using a razor to shave with 😂👍🏻

[@smilodonchow6358]

Id like to have their Otzi knife, but its so cool and nice, im fairly certain I wouldn't really use for fear or losing or breaking it haha. Plus, i already have a lot of bushcraft knives. Maybe ill get it if my condor bushlore needs replacing, which i dont see happening anytime soon!

[@stephengarrett8076]

Great review! Looks a great knife I have a Matt Graham tool and knife mk 1 I say mk1 as they have made another, but it's got very mixed reviews it's a condor make and despite its size I have managed to tunnel bone a leg of lamb and boned out a hole chicken.the blade is blunt just away from the handle whitch a lot of people dont like but when you start boneing out meat ect you find out why . Again great review and I like your personal improvements on the knife .

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you! And thanks for sharing that information!

[@theimperialist2686]

Great scenery of the natural world, always a great outdoor video Bjorn

[@jenkimball174]

Helpful and thorough review. Peaceful location. Great video!

[@ninnymuggins5159]

I did a search to see how much these knives sell for, and I saw the Condor Norse Dragon Knife as well. It's very cool looking!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, but the Norse Dragon I got had something wrong with the sheath (made a video about that). But the knife itself is very cool.

[@ninnymuggins5159]

Yes, I watched that video, too. Amazon has 2 different Norse Dragon knives than the one you reviewed. I wonder if they are any better?@@BjornOutdoors

[@jh-gv6ug]

What a great scenery and a great knife…… nice review, thank you Björn! I was just wondering.. what are your thoughts about the bravo 1 from bark river and how does it compare to this knife? Thanks!!!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thank you. I don't have that knife, so I could not say.

[@hejnye]

Bjorn, stop please, I just buy more knives after watching these, and sit for hours sharpening, looking and just touching my knives, it's a form of porn I think, it's a beautiful knife I'll find the one that fits me

[@BjornOutdoors]

Haha, yes, I know what you're talking about.

[@ninnymuggins5159]

I can't believe how COLD it looks there with your sweater and coat on and I can see your breath! It's still over 100 degrees every day here. Wish I could join you for bushcraft lessons.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, it was frost on the ground that morning. And you are very welcome to the bushcraft courses when you have the opportunity.

[@ninnymuggins5159]

Wish I could! Only if you come to USA! ❤@@BjornOutdoors

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

Thanks for this review, appreciate it 👍

[@fearthehoneybadger]

I have a handmade Finnish Puuko in a sheath very similar to that one.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

Just got my Condor Cavelore, and have modified it for belt loop carry, and crafted the original leather loop into a holder for a fire steel rod.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Wow, that's very inventive. I didn't think about that!

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

@@BjornOutdoors Wish I could send you a photo. Maybe I'll do a short video on it. 3 Cable ties, 6 holes, and it was done.

[@ObservantPiratePlus]

@@BjornOutdoors Update: I created a short video on my channel called "Condor CaveLore Modification", that shows how I converted it for fire steel carry and belt wearing.

[@agesflow6815]

Thank you, Bjorn.

[@tuerkefechi]

Condor has the Bushlore as their awesome classic and also now the more elegant and tactical Darklore. All great, the Cavelore looks great too, especially because I already had the Ötzi Knife by Condor and that was great.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I agree! I have the Otzi also.

[@blakewinter1657]

Copper has antimicrobial properties. It's used in a lot of hospitals for the handrails on the beds for that reason, it naturally kills any germs that people leave on them.

[@weerobot]

Condor Prices Great...

[@cliffordfreeman7829]

Nice review and i see your points.

Metallurgy is a hobby for me. Thank you. But where you are, can you get swedish steel?

Enjoyed watching Bjorn nice looking knife, thanks for sharing.

[@BjornOutdoors]

Glad you liked it!

[@caitlinbee5487]

Thanks 😊

[@markbrooks5278]

That hammered surface sir would probaby keep vegetables and cheese from sticking to the blade when chopping

[@kbjerke]

Every little tip helps, Bjorn. Stay well, Brother!

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks, you too!

[@johnborup4575]

The Woodlore has a more straight edge and Ray Mears found a new maker so it is still made, they also made a new Woodlore Pro with a slightly different edge profile

[@BjornOutdoors]

Yes, we all know that and that's why I said this design, as many other woodlore "clones" are inspired by the Woodlore.

[@johnborup4575]

@@BjornOutdoors ok, I was just reacting to you saying you didn't know if they still made the woodlore and that you like a straighter edge, just trying to help out..

[@JuraFab]

Superbe couteau, j'aime son look..... Pareil je n'accroche pas trop sur l'étui mais ça reste un coté tradition de chez vous et au final je trouve ça sympa..... Le fil qui entoure c'est du laiton....... Ma grand mère française qui va avoir 100 ans en septembre porte toujours un bracelet de cuivre et des marrons dans sa poche, pareil contre l'arthrite et l'arthrose,...., comme quoi toutes ces connaissances se sont passées de peuple en peuple... En tout cas merci pour la vidéo, et chez toi là-bas en Norvège c'est vraiment très beau.... Moi je suis du Jura en France......

[@Schneifelman]

Although it is forbidden to run around in Belgium with such knives, I am tempted to order one, just to own it for in the homestead.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@mantass7094]

I have Cold Steel Leatherneck SF D2 knife and this thing is a weapon but heavy with case 470g. But I like your bushcraft knife to, looks like one from Viking times🙂

Except this is not an advertisement, as I am sure you noticed.

Great video

[@BjornOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@San.Marco.il.Viaggiatore]

Hey Bjørn, you should try the Condor Darklore (black edition of Bushlore) a awesome upgrade knife!👌🏽🔥👊🏽skøll🍻

[@negoziomarcorocco]

I was going to buy This Condor Cavelore, but i read a lot o people that says that usually the condor wooden handle are really bad and the pieces have a gap or moves. So i chose the Marttiini Lynx carbon hammered blade, quite similar maybe not that fancy but certified quality and better price. And last but not least I prefeer an European-made blade than an El Salvador-made company.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I am sure that is a great knife too. I only have one Martiini knife, though. The handle on the Cavelore is great, very comfortable for my hand and I have used it a lot already. But this will be individual. Btw, El Salvador people need jobs too.

[@negoziomarcorocco]

@@BjornOutdoors Hi Bjorn thanks for the reply, I appreciate that you like this knife due to its slightly particular design, but honestly there are already many videos in which you talk to us about Condor knives, honestly for me this is simply advertising, nothing new, internet It's full of ads. But honestly, I would have expected more from you, that you were more consistent with the ideals that you prophesy so much in your videos, freedom, independence, fight against the system and large companies (including pharmaceutical ones), old values ​​etc. I would have expected that perhaps I would give space to an independent artisan knife maker who produces unique, quality knives. Everyone has the right to do what they want in their videos, but at a certain point you understand where the wind is blowing.

[@GAWright281]

Once again ,Thanks!

[@joshuahmoran]

Very nice

[@trevermccall6762]

[@vinnie42ful]

I would suggest to buy a helle ,more expensive but so much better than a condor 👍

[@BjornOutdoors]

I have many Helle knives. Some of them are very good.

[@rogereriksen726]

@@BjornOutdoorsI love my Helle Viking!

[@rogueraven7603]

Thank you for the review. I like the cave lore. It makes you feel like your sitting around the fire with your ancestors.

[@BjornOutdoors]

I totally agree.

[@cecilieconstancecorneliuss5509]

Brass wire, not copper

[@BjornOutdoors]

Copper.

[@cecilieconstancecorneliuss5509]

Aha, someone painted the copper with brasscolor 👀

[@larrybadman9965]

IN MY OPINION, THE DESIGN OF THIS KNIFE IS A MIXTURE OF A SAMI FINNISH KNIFE, AS IT CONCERNS, THE SHEATH, THE GRIND AND THE HANDLE, A YAKUTAN KNIFE, AS IT CONCERNS THE MAIN PART OF THE BLADE, A LITTLE BIT AND THE FINAL TOUCH FROM RAY MEARS KNIFE, AS IT CONCERNS THE EDGE AND THE SHAPE OF THE BLADE. ALL THE CONDOR LORES ARE AWESOME, EXCELLENT DESIGNS, VERY SHARP BLADES AND SPINES, THE EXACT THICKNESS OF THE SPINE FOR BUSHCRAFT TASKS AND VERY AFFORDABLE, AS IT CONCERNS THE PRICE. PROBABLY, IN SOME OF THEM YOU CAN FIND SOME SMALL MISTAKES, BUT IN THE END OF THE DAY, YOU CAN MODIFY THEM QUITE EASILY, THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE PEOPLE LIKE CONDOR KNIVES AND TOOLS, IT IS WORTH THE MONEY AND FINALLY, NOBODY IS PERFECT. OTHERWISE, YOU HAVE TO PAY APPROXIMATELY 250 - 300 € FOR AN LT WRIGHT KNIFE OR 600 £ FOR A RAY MEARS ONE. I VOTE CONDOR. EXCELLENT CHOICES AS WELL, THE JOKER BUSHLORD FROM SLEIPNER STEEL FOR 110€ OR THE J&V CDA BUSHLORE FOR 100€ FROM 12C27 SS, MADE IN SPAIN. NICE VID.
