Reviewing the BUSHLORE Knife From Condor Tool & Knife

A knife review with a twist....
Here we take a look at one of my favorite knives for use in the woods, the Bushlore, from Condor Tool & Knife. I talk about some of the things I really like, along with some of the things I don't like so much. And in the end attempt to remedy some of the defects...
Overall this is a great knife designed by Joe Flowers out of El Salvador. Worth the price!

You did WHAT to your Bushlore? Okay, just kidding. I wouldn’t do that, but you really did a fine job on your mod. I think I agree on all your points except about the the 1075. You’re absolutely correct about it needing more frequent sharpening. But,it’s also a bit tougher. Which, due to my approach to knife work, is a good thing. I beat the devil out of mine (hat tip, Bob Ross). I do less of the scissoring/levering style of cutting. More of the typical push-the-knife or, when caution is required, pushing the work piece against the blade. Absent that scissoring motion, the bit on the end doesn’t affect me. Also, I have chubby fingers. Less stub to worry over. Again, nice job on the mod. I worry about it’s theological implications…I shall pray for your soul….😜

Making the knife fit your needs cool. I still hope Joe doesn’t change it. LOL! 😂

[@MATTtheSAVAGE]

Nice job on the mod. It came out really well.

[@LookAtTheTrees]

Nice job man👍🏻 it looks good and it appears to suit you better than before. I love modifications to my knives. It kinda personalizes them

[@ronagoodwell2709]

Really nice Condor "Swamp Romper" mod. That handle was definitely big. If I ever got one I would reserve it for big chopping and chomping. Maybe get the Condor Trivitatta Puukko for finer carving. Then maybe a flat grind Gerber for camp kitchen duty. What's wrong with 3-knives?

[@huejanus5505]

Interesting idea and a well executed job. It looks a lot different than i thought it would. I never use the the chest lever grip so won’t do it to mine, but i’m a firm believer in modifying any knife to suit your particular needs.

[@ilbitwoods]

Love what you did with the handle. Make it to suit your needs, well done! Looks like a handle shape I would favour any day if the week, too. Long handles with nubs at the end are great on heavy blades for chopping, but not so much on bushcrafty blades. I would have taken it off too :)

[@michalurbanful]

That mod of yours turned out really great!

[@Hammer1978]

That's a fantastic mod. Great idea

[@Airik1111bibles]

Ya know they sale blanks for $28 , you might like the Woodlore better.

[@bryanmarsh9886]

I like the mod. I have always found the Condor design to be clunky and unrefined. Don't have any more Condors (don't like the softness of their heat treat) or I would consider doing something similar.

[@greekveteran2715]

You made it the same as the Bison knife! That's an improvement and not just a personal taste. These knives are designed for working wood and the mode you did, just made it a better tool! Thumbs up!!

[@kokopelau6954]

I've used the chest lever grip and never had your problem. By cutting off the butt like that you reduce your ability to use a power cut without the knife possibly slipping in a normal grip.

[@mattprince6858]

I can’t my sharp, do you have any tips. Thanks

[@joepublic573]

interesting mod - but lets face it, even if you didn't like it - it's $40 to replace :)

[@richardhenry1969]

I can’t believe you did that to a great design. Instead of learning to use the knife differently. Amazing nobody else was complaining about bruises.

[@Tracy81258]

The Cavelore is just a Bushlore with a better steel.

[@theimaginariumnetwork5621]

He's not....not that he won't see it....but either won't care or is unable to do anything about it. Seems to be my experience with Condor for the past decade or so.

[@southern_pride0]

you butchered it
