I bought this knife about a year ago. It's a backup to a Buck knife in my vehicle pack. It feels good in the hand, is a good utility size. Well worth the money.

I just went out hiking today with my Condor Bushlore, oddly enough. Great knife.

Very nice knife and video. Thank you for the review and thanks to Marshall for sending it to ya so we could see it! 😁 I think I will give this one a try. Seriously, we have nothing to lose since Condor offers such awesome warranties. You don't find that a lot anymore. Plus it's gotten some great reviews. Thanks again. God Bless you and yours. God Bless us ALL! ✝

I have the Condor Hudson Bay knife the big one. Had it for a few years now, and its a bigger knife then the Bush Lore, but I still find it very useful when out in the woods or even in the kitchen. Very easy to sharpen, just keep it clean and oiled and it will last a long time.

Liked the little history lesson at the beginning, very interesting. I have the Moonshiner and I've wrapped the handle in tennis racket tape for extra grip. Works a treat and even more comfortable. Great review....thanks for posting.

Man i saw that nice wide spear point shape and the classic handle and knew i was gonna like it. Think I'm going to pick this baby up.

The Condor Bushlore is a very dependable knife to have with you in the woods. Been using mine for over five years with no issues at all. Handcrafted, very capable and affordable for the common guy. Just keep it clean and a light coating of vegetable oil or something like chapstick on the blade to prevent rust. - Tennessee Smoky

I've just bought this knife and I love it very comfortable to hold I did find that the factory edge was a bit inconsistent not all portions were equally sharp and when I did a paper cut test it was sharp but a bit rough so I spent a little time working on the duller areas of the blade and got it razor sharp I'm not kidding it's scary how sharp it is now and I'm a total novice when it comes to sharpening, I don't even have sharpening stones just a little ceramic field sharpener but I was still able to sharpen it easily. the only thing I found is I've never had a wood handled knife before I could see it perhaps being a bit slippery in some conditions. that being said I don't ever feel like I haven't got a firm hold of the handle because of it's ergonomics and the length which allows you to hold it comfortably in several positions, smaller hands might find the handle a bit chunky to hold.. hard to say, my hands are kind of medium. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who is thinking about getting one

[@johnpagdilao6075]

Very beautiful and functional. That handle looks very comfortable, and for the price I think this will have to go in one of my go bags.

Wow! When I first saw the knife in this video I initially thought that you bought the condor blade blank and applied a custom handle to the knife. I have never seen a standard Bushlore from condor with that type of grain to it. It almost has the appearance of a desert ironwood. I do have to say however, that condor's biggest problem is their quality control. After personally owning four (yes, I said 4!) of these bushlore knives, I finally gave up on them. Each time I bought this knife I had problems with the brass rivet pins protruding from the handle and being extremely sharp to the hand. I contacted condor about the issue, and Rick is a super nice guy and very eager to please his customers, however each time I received a replacement knife within two weeks the brass rivet pins would begin to protrude again and become extremely sharp. I finally decided after the fourth time of replacing the knife to sell it and get rid of it. Condor really needs to consider using a stabilized wood because they are clearly having issues with the woodgrain shrinking causing the pins to protrude from the handle and become very sharp. That being said, I certainly think you went about it the right way when you purchased yours. If you are able to pick up and hold a variety of the knives and have the ability to also choose the woodgrain finish that you aesthetically like, then that is definitely the best way to go about buying one of these knives. However, I would still caution anyone buying these knives that they are probably still going to have issues with handle shrinkage and pin protrusion. Other than that, it's a great knife. Honestly though, I would probably still take a Mora over these condor knives simply because I don't have to worry about any handle issues. I don't believe in battening my knife, so having a full tang knife is not an issue for me. I simply believe in bringing the right tool for the job. If I expect to have to be cutting down saplings and small trees, I will simply bring a hatchet or folding saw. I still do really enjoy the aesthetic appearance of the Bushlore, as it's clearly heavily inspired by the ray mears Woodlore knife. However, I just don't believe condor's fit and finish is up to snuff. Hopefully you will not experience any of the issues that I had with the four copies of this knife that I previously owned! LOL you certainly have a beautiful copy of this knife! I can honestly say I am a little jealous LOL. Cheers!
