Hey man I really like your videos thanks man it’s really entertaining.
Sector O much mahalo
Aloha Gabe, I have one of those as well and when I first got it it had an EXTREMELY thin edge from the factory. Needless to say after a bit of chopping the edge had damage, I was not shocked at all and actually expected it. After the initial use I slightly reprofiled the edge like you did, plus I ground in a finger choil as well, and have enjoyed the blade damage free ever since. I think it is a wonderful knife and it is among my favorites. Great review as always brother!
I like the art on that blade.👍👊🤘
REAPER MILITIA SIDETRACKED as do I
Great day to invest in viewing this vid....as always. ..on point with showing a blade at work!

Wow THANK YOU for this vid. Seeing the size of that chip and how well you were able to fix it and make the blade even sharper, now I won't have to trash one of my fav knives. The chip in it is much smaller. But , if I'm patient and put some work into it, I'll be able to fix it. As usual, you taught me impt stuff. Luv ya Gabe.
I really dig this knife design, too. I did touch my edge up right out of the box, knowing I'd want to use it on Mesquite & Desert Ironwood & that it is a bit thin for a chopper. So far so good, though I haven't totally abused it, yet. I know other reviewers have had edge issues. Maybe there's some inconsistent heat treat at the factory? Maybe that thin scandi really needs a secondary bevel to hold up to the chopping, though I've also used a Finnish leuku on desert woods without any trouble. I hope you're able to just file that notch out and find some new love for that blade. Cheers from AZ.
Paddy RedBeard more testing is needed. Mahalo
A different look and a little bit different theory on knife design. I sort of like this knife.. Sometimes it does not take a lot to make a nick. I found a Wenger butcher knife with a chunk out of it for 25 cents at a yard sale, fixed it and it is fine. If it happened more than once maybe there is a problem. Thank you for the video, Gabe..
I have this, very good blade and confortable handle 💪
To anyone thinking of buying this knife. There is nothing wrong with the steel. It's a 3 mm blade with a very steep edge. Any steel will chip or roll if it's too thin. Simply grind it a little thicker where you will chop and keep it thin near handle to carve and slice. It's a great knife
Well done, Gabe. Thanks for showing us that cool knife. BTW, looked like a dreary, cloudy, cold winter day for part of your video. Any frostbite on the exposed skin?
Rick C we got some snow on the mountain but I'm probably not going to go up there.
Hey, I've got a video idea for you. What about showing us what does the Christmas looks like at Hawaii?
Darchan Darchan we did it snow in the mountains
I had a Bushcraft 5 inch , heard a ttttiiiinnnggg ! Then look and half the edge rolled cutting fir bows which arent strong to cut...not impressed with any Condor heat treat but then got a bushlore and it was fine ? Hit or Miss I Guess....Happy Holidays ! ,,;,;,;Spook
dude....my-car-tah....nice vid.
I think I'll just get the Hudson Bay Knife. Cheaper and probably tougher. Could you perhaps test it in the future?
Hudson Bay knife is a good knife I sold mine a few years ago.
+H.I.S Survival Also, I agree. The knife you reviewed is fairly overpriced. It's fine up to around $100 now....
Good knife handle need work as well as the guard need to be closer to the edge
I like a lot of their designs but I can't jump on board with 1075 knives at their price points.
I hear you
seems like the sequoia isn't turn out as good the primitive bush knife, at least in the heat heat treatment.
While I think that is a good blade, I prefer the Condor Barong that I own... discontinued but totally a great blade.
Sad to see the damage at first, but I guess coconut is a hard beast.
Roy Fernbach it's a sad day LOL I really like the design
Good beasty knife, a little machete type.
Regards!
Wouldn’t be my choice for survival but was looking at it for a knife I could beat on and not feel bad bummer it failed not to bad though should be able to get that out especially with the softer steel
Barry Bueler I'm definitely not a happy camper LOL I've had blades chip on me while opening coconuts just never this bad
H.I.S Survival still like the look length and weight maybe with a better steel but out in the jungle I guess it’s also good to have the softer steel so u can sharpen it without having to be home with heavy stones/machinery hopefully it was a freak thing good luck in the future with it but always know if u ever hate a blade I except them LOL✌️😁
Is that a coconut? Does it taste different from store bought coconut?
WYNOLLO TV yes yes
WYNOLLO TV 2 different kinds of coconuts in this video. A champagne coconut which is just before it becomes undrinkable and a sprouted coconut which is turning into a tree.
Lots of 5160 and 1095 blades available for $90. No one should own a crappy condor 1070. And they don't have to. Nice rationalization on a total fail. Nice Condor Kiss Ass! Impressive. Good luck with your overpriced wall hanger. Nice design. I'm really diggin it.
What's up backwoods Connor McGreggor?
Design in USA ?
Not sure that I like the knife or not. I was showed it about a month ago and I was able to grip the handle with my old xl hands with ease. I tried it, maybe it was I was not use the shape of the blade that made it feel odd The guy that owned it loved it cutting river cane. Enjoy your holidays.
william az Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year
good knife
Sérgio Sant'anna I really like the design and the handle. mahalo for watching
You're the second person I've seen show edge damage on use that wasn't that rough. I love the design in general, but I suspect Condor may have screwed the pooch on the heat treatment.
Charles Collier yeah I'm going to do more testing. See if my edge holds up mo bettah. Mahalo for da info I'm not liking what the community has to say about these condor primitive knives
is it a belt anchor tho ;)
not really
This knife isnt designed for Hardwoods. The steel needs to be 1095 or a supersteel with the edge on it.
Ja ja ja ja y el vikingo desnutrido se filma tomado agua de coco...jajajajaj
Meh, doesn't seem to be that much better than my cold steel bushman. The bushman does coconut almost as well. And has a stronger tip.
cloudraker100 I'm not so sure about this knife
A scandy edge on a super thin blade like that is allway going to be weak. A pure convex would have been a much better choise. Scany edges are in general weak edges.
Long time. The edge now comes as convex, and I'm getting one , man.
90$ US? sorry bro maybe if you grind that big'ol beer belly off that knife it may cut a little better.
Polish off that etching before it starts to rust. oil the handle an case maybe wall nut I could see maybe 50$ US.
Please don't take it to hart I do look foreword to seeing you're videos..
mrfixit011 Belly makes a knife slice better, etching helps prevent rust, the handle is just fine and of course it came oiled.
Yes well I've got a pretty good belly on me an I can assure you it does not help Me to cut any better!.
every pistol rifle an knife I own that has etching on it here in Florida will rust even if treated well.
Thank you for the in put though.
As of now this knife is not jungle approved which I stated in the video. At $90 it's overpriced. Baked on oil, etching, gun Bluing or natural patina only slightly helps rust prevention in my opinion. I've had rust develop under a powder coating so yeah
Micarta not marcaida
Puta que esta cagado Conor McGregor....
This guy does not know how to open a coconut oh man
you are using it like a machete
yep
U got the wrong steel for the environment u live inn
looks like an aquard knife thumbs down
