Condor Tool and Knife Swamp Romper Review & Extreme Tactical Field Batoning Torture Test

[@SeniorSupreme]

I can’t tell if you’ve just lost patience with the silly world that is knife reviews or you’ve decided to embody the absurdity of it all. Either way....keep it up. I love your satirical view of this silly hobby. My hero AKB!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don’t know either!

[@dizocilpine]

you can tell there really is love there for the knives tho

[@tsriftsal3581]

[@tsriftsal3581]

Oh and your voiceovers fn own, bro

[@telegraph_hill]

5:55 attempts to light cigarette with knife and ferro rod. This should be a standard test for all survival knives. In fact - tag - all survival knife guys need to demonstrate that this is not only feasible, but routine.

[@aray9628]

This is the best knife review I've ever seen! If u can't baton with a cigarette in your mouth then u ain't doing it right 👊

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Even if you don't smoke!

[@bRad-ns6iy]

Finding a knife with a sheath designed to hold a cigarette was just the excuse I needed to start smoking! Thanks Advanced Knife Bro and my lungs thank you too!👍

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Make sure you drink too!

[@theplasticdesert2408]

You looked majestic on your roof, like a sleek nursing student grinding the pole, and I really appreciated that.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ok good. That’s interesting you mention that because I’m using KZbin to pay my way through stripping school.

[@theplasticdesert2408]

Advanced Knife Bro I don't blame you.

Hell yeah AKB!! learning how to use navigation holes from this channel. I drilled nav holes in several of my fixed blades and dude, it works! I got all the way around my neighborhood and nav'd right into the back of my local Sheriff's car. btw, does this channel have a 'bail for fellow knife bros' program? asking for a friend.

[@conan1939]

I hang out on my roof a lot and before falling off it's always a good idea to toss knives, chainsaws, etc. away from you before landing so I appreciate this test very much.

[@jonNH123]

If you're going bushcraft now and start doing overnight camping bushcraft vids, just remember: sleeping bags are the soft tacos of the bear world.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My sleeping bag is more like a bean burrito.

[@Slay_No_More]

What would you suggest in bear country? Aside from say a vehicle or a camper?

[@MrJaymanjam]

Best knife channel on KZbin, I would love to see more cheap beer reviews

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have some in mind... got two IPA reviews coming up- then cheap shit after that.

[@EDCwithAaron]

I always wondered why Japanese chefs used katanas in a slicing motion rather than pushing!

[@joshuaritzheimer1382]

Great job, love your review style. This swamp knife has it all. Walnut (wood not nut) handle, a grind, and a smoke holder. Who could ask for more. Yet, you did with the Christmas music.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I know how to lay a soundtrack

[@totallyfrozen]

Your smartassedness (is that a word?) is golden. I love this channel! Absolutely no nonsense. This channel is my favorite new KZbin discovery.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@addymcfatty]

I am addicted to your brutal honesty... but seriously love your videos. 👍

[@MrJoshDoty]

My favorite bushcr after is probably Survival Lilly, my favorite knife today is the Ontario Falcon. I used it to make dinner tonight. Worked great. Opened a coconut with it. Chipped the paint off the end and blunted the tip a bit. I am borrowing my brother’s Wicked Edge. Sharpened back up. Feathered an index card. The Wicked Edge is a pretty incredible sharpener. What was the point of throwing it off the roof, just for the hell of it?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The roof thing was a gag. The handle was broken already- and the guy who gave it to me didn’t want it back. It was kind of a play on car hood stabbing and guys who use bricks on knives. It was supposed to ding the blade and screw it up for no real reason.

[@MrJoshDoty]

Advanced Knife Bro gotch

[@Lumencraft-]

A cigarette holder LOL!

[@michaeltellurian825]

Very funny stuff! Thanks for the break from all the guys who take things way too seriously!

[@merlynquasar6214]

This is hilarious great job

[@foxbodyford]

I come here solely for the sarcasm

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That'll do!

[@thebusinessend1]

"I believe it, you dont know anything about knives" got me to chuckle.

[@SuperSteelSteve]

Yea but what kind of aroma does it have? Any raisin notes? And is it more malty or hoppy?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It has that metallic miller lite taste.

[@robertoruscigno7126]

Cigarette holder is my favorite survival item on sheath! lol Nice video bro. Cheers from Italy! Roberto

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Whats better than a nice cigarette when hiking.

[@ConcreteTurtle]

Come for the knives, stay for the classy batoning! Great as always!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Cause the cigarette

[@christamu2]

Thanks Piper for letting us know how to properly use knives! This whole time I've been trying to cut stuff with the handle while holding onto the blade. Cold Steel G10 has excellent edge retention btw. Also I have no fingers.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

WHERE WAS PIPER THEN????

[@billyprendergast6631]

Yes you convinced me,I'm going to purchase the Enzo trapper because of this excellent video.I turned off the TV we were watching Tin Star on Netflix and I didn't see one knife between all of the outdoors people.As regards your staff in retrospect you should have allowed them take unpaid holidays.Your batttoning is faultless,slightly better than your knife knowledge.KEEP 'em coming bro.

[@don0giorgio]

Hey man! What equipment do you use filming your vids?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Funny you should ask... I answered this very question in a video last week. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p326gWimf6iLsLs

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your sheath explanation. I was always so embarrassed to ask what it is for. Now I know! You are so advanced.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank the cool taste of a Pall Mall!

[@lordhelmet77]

So how does this knife compare to the fleshlight in performance?

Ask the ER nurse.

Knife Bro's masterpiece. Dropping knives from a roof should be a quality standard. We'll call it the Knife Bro Dab.

It's the new standard in knife tests.

[@christopherh2352]

Hilarious! Vertical video was the icing on the cake.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Vertical video is a pet peeve of mine- but those segments demand it.

[@sublyme2157]

I know a guy who likes to collect cows' eyes in jars of turpentine. He thinks Condor knives are crap.

[@davidcoats1037]

“Is that why I see chefs prepare my food with katanas at Japanese restaurants? Thanks. “ 🤣😂🤣 Please do all future reviews in that accent you did while you were on the roof, and with a cig hanging out of your mouth. I loved it!!! 👍🏼

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I grew up in Arkansas, and that's the accent everyone has there.

[@BingWatcher]

Hey, I been watching 👀 your channel for a few years now and I seldom comment. But I have got to let you know that even if you want to review wash clothes, I am sure that you would be able to make it entertaining and informative while keeping the sarcasm to the max! For sure, good buddy!🏁 😁

[@adamg568]

I really enjoy watching your videos after a long day. That beubg said, your handle thickness numbers are swapped - .94 inches and 2.38cm. Keep on keepin on my friend. In this video it is clear that life is a garden, and that you dig it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah my paper and my computer graphic have the number orders swapped, so it happens sometime.

[@Dexter00000]

Awesome test and review. Just an ugly truth served so plain and simple 😁. I'd love to scrape that wood off and out nice micarta scales on this one ❤️. And make him a kydex home, haha.

[@zachbrobst9473]

I figure that I can't like this channel any more than I do and then Bam! Op Ivy reference. You might be my spirit animal

[@pieman7]

Innovative product with hollow rivits serving as sight-finder and sheath equipped with single cig holder. Almost 50% sure that it sports an El Salvador grind because it says so on the blade. Otherwise I'd say it's a swampcraft grind. Seeking sponsorship from RJ = smart. OMG, lots of funny stuff in this one!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Cigarettes are the next big thing, like badass cigars- but only smaller!

[@fluffychest]

Bro bro. That was some advanced batoning bro. If you had a beer in one hand and batoning with the other I would swear you were my neighbor.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sounds like you have an awesome neighbor.

[@fluffychest]

Advanced Knife Bro awesome indeed. Does greatly lack in the one handed batoning department tho.

[@danofiremano]

I especially enjoyed the handle scale chip at the end, which meant the "review" was over! All kidding aside, I'm getting the feeling that I won't be in a big hurry to get this model. I would however be inclined to get the micarta handled Bushlore if you could front me the cash 🏧. Thanks for the review!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They're replacing the knife by the way. I told them it came from batoning, and they're sending me a label to ship it back. It'll go back to Journey Wind Junk eventually. But cool one on their part!

[@tombsandtemples]

Why is watching this guy batonning so gosh darn entertaining?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have no clue!

[@Aporqpyn]

Ok, Pall Mall batoned and Like button is smoked. Good job bro!

[@oxman1800]

Batonning in every video is a must, even if it’s not a knife review. Threw in some old school punk too I see. Great as usual.

[@chewher4171]

Hi, I'm gonna comment by stating that I like the blade geometry of the Bushlore, but I want the sheath of the Romper. If they sold the sheath separately I'd buy it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Totally agreed!

Dang, I saw the title and thought it was gonna be something I could buy my lady to wear when we go out on the fan boat.

Greatest batoning exhibition *ever*.

[@presterjohn71]

Sabre grind?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sure! I mean sure?

[@Robert5hw]

I have the Swamp Romper but hated the weird wax like coating that was on the blade. I scraped it off and left the blade sitting in apple cider vinegar for a couple hours to force a decent patina.

[@tonycanniffe2360]

One of your best bro

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@mrblauer1]

In response to a video comment I made, helpful stranger told me I obviously do not know how to use a knife properly. Finally, after 49 years using knives (starting at age 8) I now know what I am doing wrong. God I loved that comment.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

[@carllevingston6022]

One of the best reviews I have every watched! I just picked up a swamp romper, Don't care for the knife! Hope to return it or trade it.

This guy gets it ^^^^

[@bkcatalog]

The idea of being hot and sweaty, half smoking a pall mall, feeling my eyes burn, and using the wrong tool for the right job feels somehow familiar

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My whole life is using the wrong tool for the job.

[@13bravoredleg18]

Now it's time to learn how to make knife handles!😝

[@bilbobaggins8876]

LOve your sense of sarcasm! maybe you can explain something to me; what is the "bushcraft community's" resistance to using a knife for more traditional knife "jobs" like cutting and carving and or using things meant to make trees into smaller pieces of wood like a ax or a saw? I don't get it! the swamp romper is a fantastic "feathersticker" though.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good question!

[@futurerustanddust5992]

This was a friggin masterpiece.

[@justinAroy]

If your going to throw knives off a roof onto a driveway then please throw it correctly. Each knife is designed a particular way to hit the concrete properly. That knife is meant to be thrown side arm with your bad hand as hard as you possibly can.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

An expert!

[@Stahlwerk88]

I recommend spinning like an Olympic shot-putter while doing that, as well.

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Or simply put throw it like a girl

[@stevenrogers7917]

Dude I am obviously late for the party 2 years later But I have to say the I don't think I stopped laughing Through your whole review that's not to say that it wasn't informative i It was informative and quite Hilarious. I have not read Any of the other reviews because quite frankly I don't give a Dam what anybody else thinks , apparently you don't either. Thanks for the review I just ordered the knife, Steve

[@johnmarchetti3815]

You kill me... vid was priceless 😁

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The attempt to light a cig using the firesteel and spine of the knife was incredible.

[@MrRPM110]

That handle is the reason why I like the drop forged series of knives from coldsteel

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

True that.

[@farakhmasood5011]

Clearly a true man crafting a bush, wait.... nah that’ll do. Thanks for the vid man, always a pleasure seeing a grown ass man breaking something. Stay cool Bro. Cheers Oh, Dutch Bushcraft Knives make some good content. But they lack the, ‘yeah, i know’ factor, which you pull off so effortlessly.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They do- and have a ton of subscribers. My channel and humor are probably a little too niche.

[@farakhmasood5011]

Advanced Knife Bro I’d stick with what you do man, play the long game, if you’re going to play any game at all, do it your way, your content is the sort you can watch more than once, theirs not so much. I bet your subscribers are more loyal, or come back more often, just my opinion, but not being a KZbin’er, I can’t say shit.

Advanced Knife Bro especially because I haven’t found one yet!

[@Stahlwerk88]

So you can baton with it?

[@sunshyn21]

Bro.. legit thought you were going to do a knife review IN a romper! I was like [what the hell demographic is going for with this one] but the batoning with a cig in your mouth was equally entertaining.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

So like 5%.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

A key moment of the presentation seemingly missed by all - the tossing of dried grass in the air to detect the slightest change of wind direction during testing. This may have had a dramatic effect on the entire scope of the baseline for field analysis. If the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, it may have been a different outcome for Condor and the review. It's a good thing the reviewer knew enough to squat next to a tree ... a few inches either way and who knows what might have happened!

[@alittleolder]

Not too much to comment on in this one. Fantastic Video as always. I might actually check out a Condor one of these days. I really loved the music choice at the end, really fitting. I loved the cigarette too. I never showed cigarettes in my videos. I don't want comments like:"Hey I thought you were dying, why do you smoke?" .. "Because I am addicted.. what a stupid question"... Just as good a question as when doctors ask and then say: "But it's not good for you".. No shit!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I don't smoke but a roofer left a pack here a few years ago, and I keep them around for props.

[@alittleolder]

You look very convincing. You should really consider taking up smoking. I recently saw a survey that concluded that it's good for you, granted it's from the 60ies and funded by Chesterfield but they wouldn't lie to you now would they? Seriously though I love the use of cigarettes in your "french" video. That one wouldn't have worked without a cigarette. Also 4 out of 5 Doctors prefer Camel. (Again the source of this information is a few years old)

[@RoyFernbach]

If you haven't given it away or made a new handle for it, ill do that.... you know, if you give it to me :) Thanks for the videos and reviews. Love Condor Tool & Knife !!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I contacted the manufacturer and they swapped it out. Then I sent it back to the original owner. I did a video about it a few weeks after this one.

[@RoyFernbach]

Oh ill have to go find that, didn't come up in my feed.

[@artznotacrime]

Favorite knife my schrade 51m. And I have learned how to shot gun a beer from a pretty damn good busch crafter.

The great thing about Condor is if you sent that knife in they'd send you a brand new one. Do that. Then send it to me and I'll do horrible horrible things. So many things.
