This Cordor knife looks very good, the shape of the knife is good.The steel is rustable but it's good, I have Boker in 1095 with light grey coating blade and one contact with water and it gets patina but I removed it with sand paper and now the blade is satin.
I've been very curious about this knife for a long time! I ended up with the Spyderco Temperance rather than purchasing this knife first, but a very simple polymer handle with a very straightforward blade design in this size dedicated for offensive or defensive martial use is definitely a niche concept for fixed blades that really should take off.
Gotta say i really like the shape and im a fan of 1075 when done right. I don't understand the price considering what you can get from other companies. Especially when you consider a SRK-C is $35 in SK5 which is a 1080 type steel. I like many condor knives but can't justify the price. My last condor was the terrachete. It was $70 well worth the price.
Cold Steel SRK SK 5 my first fixed blade 4 years now. In 2024 Boker Cub Pro and Handy 2 in Green Micarta with M390 . I decided to purchase only the things I'm going to use.
Condor isn't a collectible or pretty knife. They are working knives, and parts can't be thrown together as handles get molded onto blades, so two "parts" really. Talk to some Condor users and I think you'll find they've got their fan club too. My only beef with them is that the price is a bit higher than it should be for a basic knife....
@OGBladeReviews I agree with part of what you wrote. I have some of their stuff, yet in the past maybe 2 years their knives and tools are not very well thought out
Excellent video... I like that knife!!!
Thanks 👍

I like it. Simple yet effective. A few minutes on my DMT bench stones and it'll be good to go.
Definitely! 🗡️👊🗡️
Looks a lot like the BK17.
That knife 🗡 is cool. What steel is it made out of?
1075 Tool Steel.
@OGBladeReviews Thank you.
BTW, the coating on the blade is CERAKOTE. It should hold up extremely well.
Thanks for the info! 🗡️👍

Had an SRK - Solid Tool! 👍
Great knife 🔪 review. I'll take the CRKT ❤.
👍🗡️🔥
Sharpen the swedge 😊
Definitely could! 👍🗡️👍
I used to love Condors based on their affordability, but now they have become overpriced in comparison to other brands sadly
Yes I've seen that increase as well...
Looks like Condor is just throwing parts together and making knives for profit not consumers. That thing looks terrible

@Hammer1978 Can't really argue with that. This was largely an experiment b/c I like the Bowie style profile.... 👍
