Trying out the Condor Selknam

Got a new condor selknam and decided to make my first video while trying it out.

[@abandonedotter4270]

I used a beezwax/boiled linseed concoction on mine. Softened it right up. The steel I had works better with a Kansas churt than an English blue flint. I love this knife. The edge needs some work when you get it but most Condors are that way and the 1075 is easy to maintain. This is a great knife and I dont think anyone who buys it will be disappointed.

Just picked on up last week, my first Condor product. Its a beef of a knife with some heft to it. The functionality/design was definitely thought out on the blade. The 1075 steel will do for this work horse of a knife. The leather is stiff, but like you, I treated it the first day in order to soften it up. The sheath, btw, is designed well. For the money, (under a hundo is what I paid) I believe this to be a good buy. Thanks for the video JITS

I like that. A solid knife with a thick tine for longevity... and durability

[@KohlOutdoors]

I love the knife and everything what a great channel. I cant wait to see more videos.

[@darkwaternorth2867]

Really like Condor knives appreciate the review thanks Jay.

[@HaggardOutdoors]

Hey great to see you upload. Can’t wait till we can go on another trip. I have to try and get me one of these. Looks amazing, keep up the work brother.

[@ChuckinSteel]

I love my sleknam mut I did thin the edge up quit a bit. It came more convexed than my axes. Now it's a fantastic all around knife.

[@rlh766]

I just ordered one. It looks like I won’t be disappointed.

[@jayinthesticks4652]

Rodney Hallam I like it so far, if the sheath is hard and dry I suggest sno-seal to treat the leather. It made a world of difference on mine.

[@WaywardWaggs]

Nice looking knife. Works well too.

[@MikeRyan207]

Super cool knife. Great review!

[@wm_survival]

[@johnossendorf9979]

AOK Foraging and Adventures thanks :)

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Very well made case, looks like a sweet knife. Thanks for the review 👍

[@2TEN90]

Just saw you on BNO Outdoors live stream. Look forward to getting to know your channel better and watching more vids once you get more up. Cheers!

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

Great job! Every time I think I've decided on a blade design I see something different that I like... What is the width of that blade ? Looks pretty deep. I kinda like that !

[@jayinthesticks4652]

Plain 'Ole Chuck about 1 5/8 from spine to edge. It's a pretty heavy knife, so far I like it a lot. I may make a minor modification in the future after I play with it some more.

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

@@jayinthesticks4652 I like the idea of it being a bit thicker... I'd have to handle one before I bought it though.. I'll keep an eye out for one

[@jim9121]

Looks like a nice knife . does the handle cut out to expose the tang for ferocious striking uncomfortable or seem problematic or is it a benefit? I would prefer no spine/handle exposure and no bow divot. Apple's to oranges but this seems like a great alternative to like a $35 schrade schf36-37 / 51-52 or a $300+ MSK1 or $200 WC knives scout. Although all different designs and materials similar philosophy of use . I like the selkam and the toki but will probably pass on these two but the Condor Low Drag knife is on my want list for sure.

[@jayinthesticks4652]

The cut out for ferro rod isn't noticeable in the hand. The divot for bow drill however is very noticeable when I handle the knife in my right hand, luckily I'm a lefty. I doubt I'll ever use the cut out for striking a ferro rod, I prefer to simply use the spine of the blade when needed. Over all I love the knife, and will most likely carry it more than my esee 6 which is an amazing knife using 1095 steel (which also has an outstanding warranty) on my average camping trip.

[@jim9121]

@@jayinthesticks4652 Thanks I really Think I would love it too good to know about the handle cut out. Appreciate your work Thanks Again
