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

The Condor Tool and Knife Swamp Romper is a cool tactical Bushcraft style blade. In this video I do a torture test, and show you the correct way to baton wood. Trust me. If you aren't an outdoors expert after watching this real world field use demonstration then you're an idiot. That's just an objective fact. I also compare the Swamp Romper to the Bushlore, Esee 3 MIL, and Mora Companion. This is the only authentic survival channel on KZbin, and all the other channels offer skills that will make you dead. My name is Advanced Knife Bro. Sometimes it's hash tagged by me: #advancedknifebro or #bushcraft or #outdoorskills

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!

[@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.

[@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.

Make sure you drink too!

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.

[@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.

[@Lumencraft-]

A cigarette holder LOL!

[@addymcfatty]

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

[@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?

[@totallyfrozen]

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

Thanks man!

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

[@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

[@BornIn1500]

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

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.

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.

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.

[@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!

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

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.

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.

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!

[@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.

[@Stahlwerk88]

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

[@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.

[@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]

True that.

[@gregrogers4853]

I love your videos man! This was the best!!! Haha

[@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

[@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.

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.

I'm only slightly jealous of that cold steel bad boy hat you've been rocking lately. Slightly.

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!

[@nandayane]

Sage advice at the end of the review.

[@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)

[@vanderstelt50]

That friggin heater with grannie ash totally accentuated your batoning, a PBR could be the only thing to complete your look

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I should have had a beer to guzzle. That would have done it.

[@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.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ask the ER nurse.

[@beaupoopoo7542]

[@Stahlwerk88]

So you can baton with it?

[@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]

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

[@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!
