This is my first Condor knife, and I am already in love with this company. The knife arrived in a simple, but attractive box along with full company contact information and complete mini-catalog.
SHEATH: + * * * * *
is made of veg-tanned 9oz leather (very heavy and incredibly durable, for those who don't know leather by oz weight), and is riveted top and bottom, and it bears the patented Condor 'condor' emblem printed into the leather. In between the rivets is wax-cord stitching to preserve the triple-thick leather edge. *Try to avoid getting the sheath too wet, as leather holds moisture deep and for a long time. If you do get the sheath wet, wipe clean and heat-dry, then cool to room temperature before returning the knife to its sheath. You'll read why below. **FIVE STARS**
BLADE: + * * * *
is a full-tang CARBON STEEL design with a factory edge razor out of the box, which holds up very well even under bush-whacking duress. Make sure you have gun-oil handy as carbon steel (unlike stainless) will rust easily if exposed to weather. Read note above regarding the care and upkeep of leather sheaths/holsters. My one negative remark here is that the blade has a deep imprint reading "Condor" on one facet, and "El Salvador" (their factory location) on the opposite facet. These deep letter prints are not a good idea on carbon steel (In my opinion) since they 'pocket' water and can easily rust if the water is not quickly removed and the blade oiled. THIS IS NOT A NOVICE or ENTRY-LEVEL KNIFE! Use it daily> be prepared to care for it daily. You cannot use it and then leave it for a week before upkeep-care. **FOUR STARS**
HANDLE: + * * * *
is what Condor calls 'hickory-type,' but it is made out of a hardwood similar to hickory, which comes from South America. Again, have your gun-oil handy. Out of the box, the handle was properly dried, but it took several applications of oil, drinking deeply before it finally darkened up to what I would call a 'healthier' patina. Don't get me wrong. Condor got this right. I would rather have the wood factory-dry than factory-oiled. I prefer to apply my own products than to have a company apply them for me. Just be aware that this is a step you will need to take quickly. You wouldn't want water to soak into the dry wood and create rusting issues with the rear of the tang. Would've preferred genuine hickory, so **FOUR STARS**
APPLICATIONS: + * * * * *
The day I took it out of the box, one of my boys shaved the hair off his arm. This is common. Any factory can deliver a sharp edge, right? Sure! But how about after I've already hacked through a bunch of maple boughs to hew arrows for my boy's homemade bow? ...That's what I thought. The second application came after I had to dispatch a deer caught in one of our barb-wire fences. Without graphic details, the knife performed with razor-edged precision and the exactness I would demand from a MUCH more expensive knife. I've hacked limbs, cut through plastic- thick and thin, field-dressed animals, butchered animals, and even hewed fresh bone! ...Then I finally sharpened the knife! **FIVE STARS**
SHARPENING: + * * * *
the Bushlore holds an exceptional edge, but once sharpening is necessary, I suggest an oil-stone, heavy on the oil. It took awhile to smooth away the horizontal factory grind-lines, (They seemed a little on the deep side, hence the four stars) but once I did, I was able to easily float the edge and smooth away the excess. It took very little dressing to have the knife sharper than it was out of the box. **FOUR STARS**
OVERALL 22 of Nater's 25 stars = Exceptional
CONDOR INFORMATION:
This company, which was founded in 1787 in Germany, was one of the preeminent cutlery manufacturers of that time, and helped Germany rise to fame as the finest blade-manufacturing country in the world. Their traditions and original designs, along with many new cutting-edge innovations, remain today, almost 230 years later. Now factory-based in El Salvador, they continue to turn out simplistic, unassuming quality of the highest order.
IN CLOSING:
Everyone who has read my reviews of (especially) HELLE KNIVES of Norway knows that I am very high on that company. No one makes a more beautiful knife in that price-range, in my opinion. I mention them now because I believe I have found a comparable match, but for a quarter the cost. For durability and field-usefulness, CONDOR soars above the rest. Since I do survival hikes every year, practicality and longevity are the highest considerations. This is a uniquely valuable knife to me. Having the knife now, I would gladly pay twice as much to repurchase if I lost it.
*This is a hacking jungle-type knife: hence the name, Bushlore. Many of Condor's knives are of this design, and most of their products are designed with South-American usage in mind. However, the Bushlore's durability makes it a perfect fit for a more rugged, North-American 'survival' situation in which you might need to hack, chop, eviscerate, self-defend, wedge or spear. The Condor Bushlore knife will do it all, and then beg for more. Thank you, Condor, for making an exceptional tool. If this was a ten-star rating system, the CONDOR BUSHLORE would get ALL 10
Thanks for reading. Let me know if this review was helpful to you.

One of the most impressive features of this knife, given the price, is the sheath. It’s made of thick oiled top grain leather, and it better than sheathes I’ve seen on knives costing twice as much. I would have really like a snap-over flap or other rendition device to insure against losing it, but the brass lanyard bushing- another unexpected feature- allows you to use a piece of parachute cord for that function. The back of the blade is square and provides a good striking surface for the ubiquitous fire starter stick. Knife and sheath together are a very practical package, good enough to take into the field, and cheap enough tha you won’t be heartbroken if you do happen to lose it.
It’s classified by the seller as a “bush knife,” a relatively new but incredibly popular classification, judging from all the videos and web sites promising to teach “bushcraft” skills, like building shelters, deadfalls, and campfires. And “batoning” with your knife appears to be extremely popular. Unless you can use it like a splitting wedge, well, it’s just not a real bushcraft knife. Personally, I don’t care about that, as I have a perfectly good pack hatchet that’s designed for chopping and splitting wood. This blade is too thin for chopping, and the grind angle is too shallow for the edge to hold up to tha kind of abuse, but used as a knife I think it should last a long time and give good service. In fact, if you’re thinking about buying one, I’d suggest spending another $20 and getting the Micarta handled version, which should hold up better to moisture in the long run.

The only negative I've found - which I've also found in my knives that are 4-5 times this price - is that the blade is sharpened slightly unevenly. This can be fixed with some sharpening at home, of course, but it's always annoying when you get out your nice new knife and take a really close look and find minor craftsmanship errors. If you look at the third and final of my uploaded photos, you can see that the left side of the blade is just a hair 'wider' than the right side. It doesn't affect the way the knife works at all, if any - but it's worth pointing out.

切っ先にわずかに錆が認められたので炭素鋼に間違いないと思います。
早速革砥を当てて新聞の斜め切りで試してみるとよく切れました。
ハンドルはクルミ材とのことですが磨き過ぎており少し滑りますが使い込んでいくうちになじんでくると思います。
難点はシースが少し甘いので抜けやすいと思います。
落下防止のため少しシースをつぶしてやると馴染んで喰いつきがよくなります。
自分としてはオマケ付きで☆5でいいと思います。
For the price, this knife is amazing. You might need to do a little work with it. The knife edge came out of the box decently sharp but not as sharp as i would like it to be. After a little leather strop with green compound it was much better. blade edge came out of the box with no flaws so no need for stone sharpening.
I have small hands and the handle did not fit my hands very well, so I ended up carving it a little and then used sandpaper to sand it down. The finish of the knife is not that great so you might have to refinish it.
Both the knife and sheath should definitely be put out to sun dry separately to cure properly so it will not sweat. I would not recommend you putting the knife in the sheath if you are planning to store it away for extended period of time.
The edge retention for 1075 steel on this blade is awesome. I had no problems at all heavy batoning and wood carving. Once you touchup the blade the performance is great.
Overall, really happy with this knife. This knife will serve you well.
Kurzgesagt: Ich bin (als Messermacher-Laie) begeister! Sehr hochwertige Scheide, Super Messer. Für den Outdoorbereich bestens geeignet. Kein Katostrophe (wegen Preis) bei verlust. Aber die stecken gut im Holster, wird nich so einfach passieren oder man stellt Sich oft über den Kopf. Der Griff ist aus Hartholz., sehe Bild. Die sind aber einfach um zu bauen. Ich habe für beide Griffschalen aus Karelische Maserbirke angefertigt. Das ist aber geschmacksache. Dazu Paracord mit Reflektorstreifen (Sehr zu empfehlen bei nachtaktivitäten). Durchgehende Klinge / Fulltang
Nur: Kohlenstoffstahl hat so seine Nachteile: Rostempfindlicher, Verfärbungen des Stahls, Metallgesmack wenn man sich einen Apfel schneidet. Also nicht geeignut für Nahrungszubereitung. Dafür ein Messer (z.b. Mora aus rostfreier Stahl? Stainless Steel nehmen (Mora messer sind auch Super und günstig. kein durchgehende Klingen/ nicht Fulltang).
Kohlstoffstahl ist einfach zu schärfen. Deshalb: Condor Messer: sehr gut, günstig, Fulltang, Super Scheide, gut zu schärfen, guter Griff, sehen optisch gut aus. Ein echtes Gebrauchsmesser, Beide messer unter 12 cm, also normal laut Gestez zu führen: NICHT im Ausgangsbereich oder im Disko, aber das ist Logisch.Klarer Kaufempfehlung.
