Condor Selknam Knife: Some Things I Like, Some Not So Much - Survival, Bushcraft, Outdoor Knife

[@Yaaqov777]

I own this knife. I like the knife. I'm not some city soft hand wimp. Instead of a stone, carry a few sheets of 2500 grit sandpaper. Best to sharpen this blade. And it works great in sub freezing temperatures up here above the Arctic Circle. Want to test your favorite knife? Come up to Northern Alaska in mid winter. Most blades shatter quickly below -70°. This one does not. Of course, I disagree with almost everything this soft handed hooman said

[@christianfehlandt]

The knife was designed by a compatriot of mine, from Chile, and the name came from an indigenous tribe of insuar patagonia, tha was extermined by the spanish.

[@gustavodominguez5898]

Exterminated primarily by the English, Scots, Irish and Italians

[@casualcamping3776]

I have this knife. I really like it. I'm not sure what the back loops on tyne sheath are supposed to do, but I've slid in a few pencil sized bits of fatwood.

[@bo49685]

Great review Tim, I agree with you 100%, it’s a nice knife by Condor but there are others I would choose before that one. I loved the leather sheath, that was AWESOME looking👍👍

[@jonnyboat2]

Wow, I just had a revelation regarding knife design while watching this video and listening to you describe this knives's blade design.

[@greatamericansurvival]

Another great review and hey Tim thanks for all the hard work you do. That’s a great looking knife, I think that’s the one I saw it at Blade. That sheath is as sharp as the blade..

[@joeantonicci8920]

Its ok i like it its a ball buster...........

[@legoutdeslames]

Exactly I was interested in this knife, I think it looks great but the little details you do not like, I will not like them either. Good review.

[@SeaCatFl]

Nice looking Knife and a great review of it. I have looked at it but I still prefer my Bushlore. It just does what I need it to do when I need it to do it. (Yesterday I butchered out 2 Wild Hogs I took down. No resharpening needed and the knife cleaned up nicely.)

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Ed Cook nice!

[@Scarywoody]

I might just use the sheath design for my BK2. I like the fire steel holder.

[@probulb]

I was actually thinking the same....do u think bk2 ll fit that sheath...

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

I've seen this knife up close. They do a very rough job on the grinding, with only the last quarter inch or so being truly convex, making for a rather obtuse edge. That along with the other details you point out make it a no-go for me.

[@survivalofthefittest409]

I definitely like that type of pommel. Survive knives does that same pipe as well, it's very utility like, and something I can use as opposed to a spike. I think that knife definitely has a lot of potential, and I would definitely like to try it out

[@BlazinBlades]

Good point on sharpness! My SoloBolo came in almost totally dull.

[@anthonymorelli67]

Reminds me of a Hudson's Bay trappers knife.

[@hubertrobinson8825]

A good back up blade for camping or like I do carry every day

[@FrontierPreppers]

Nice looking knife 🔪

[@PreparedWolf34]

it reminds me of a smaller version of the Hudson Bay Condor knife.

[@MoosesGearGooReview]

Great fair review. I like the look and the potential of this blade. I like that Condor is trying to add more features to their knives. I got the new Condor Terrasaur and I love it. Do like the Terrasaur better than the Selknam?

[@rickc4317]

Thanks, Tim, for another well done review. I think your thoughts are bang on.

[@dwightehowell8179]

I think I'll stick to the Hudson Bay. A lot cheaper and the same steel.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Great review, lots of similar thoughts here (I recently bought one, but ultimately sold it and bought another knife--loved the sheath, wasn't crazy about the convex grind) ✌

[@MDR-hn2yz]

Nicd review. Definitely nice looking blade.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Nice review. 👍🏻 I’ve been adding flint strikers to my sheaths longer than I’ve been adding ferro rods. It’s nice to see a company doing it. But I haven’t seen anyone actually using this steel. Does it work? It looks rather thin, but it would be easy enough to replace.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

I didn’t have any stone around that was hard enough to test it on.

[@WoodKnock01]

Awesome vid !!! Smokey Mountain Knife Works has it for $102 !!! I have been think about buying this one!!!!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Wood Knock Survival If you get it, let me know what you think about it.

[@WoodKnock01]

EverydayTacticalVids -- Tim got a question do you think work sharp would put a edge on the selknam????

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

@@WoodKnock01 I think I may try that.

[@GTMGunTotinMinnesotan]

Yes, no more 1075. No more dull knives. It's so disappointing at their price point now days, they need to have better edges.

[@KenGray]

Looks like a smaller Hudson Bay.

[@barrybueler3356]

I heard this edge sucked but 1 minute on the Ken onion will fix that.

[@kwhitney6238]

Is it scandi grind? Looks like is would been

[@that_escalated_quickly2720]

No, it's a convex grind

[@kwhitney6238]

@@that_escalated_quickly2720 Makes sense that it would be for that style knife. Im looking for a knife of that size that's more of a scandi grind. For me personally I can get it razor sharp easy in the field.

[@that_escalated_quickly2720]

@@kwhitney6238 k I just watched their latest products shown at shot show... Some of those new knifes had a scandi... Here's the link, maybe you will find something that fits your needs and has a scandi grind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4Kliqh4i52NeJo

[@kwhitney6238]

@@that_escalated_quickly2720 Thank you for the information. Vary helpful.

[@JFoxC]

Have you ever done a kukri comparison?

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Not a comparison, but I’ve checked out one from condor and one from tops.

[@JFoxC]

EverydayTacticalVids Cool! I’ll have to check those out. What about a video that talks about the differences, pros and cons of all the different knife styles? For example drop point vs. clip or flat vs Scandi grind.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

James Craig not yet. So many video ideas, so little time...

[@lordnebo]

Amazon has the fire steel

[@joekasperek1086]

I like it Tim if you don't send it to me LOL. Good luck bro

[@robertgarza600]

I like the knife. Don’t know how well it performs but I do want to give it a go. Thanks for the video.
