The black ones appear to be available. Link in description.
can you stop doing this!? Everytime you upload videos like this we get overrun by questions to test it too!
I should just make a video of every knife you do a week after.

Haha. Sounds like a plan!
Was in process of watching Brian's take on this knife when you popped up, great review from both of you. Might just have to get a couple!
Got one, ergonomics on the Terrasaur are great and MUCH better if you slip a bit of street bike inner tube over the handle (tip: get the piece of inner tube wet with some rubbing alcohol first, well slip on easier), adds a little cushiness and is *very* grippy. Sheath is a work in progress and that *is* a Mora ripoff. Retention is with a couple of nubs on the inside of the sheath that fit in the dimple in the handle. Apparently they at first had complaints that it was too difficult to get the knife out. It remains very awkward to get the knife out of the provided sheath but retention is now not very good at all, nubs don't grip it well enough now. Ditched the sheath, looks great in a leather sheath that came with my Kizlyar Yeti but am using a sheath i made myself for it (with the ranger band handle treatment, it rode much higher in the Condor sheath with a good friction fit and made the thumb ramp actually functional which was cool but left a couple of extra inches in length to the sheath and i didn't want to cut it).
Didn't come very sharp, just barely 'utility' sharp. My copy appears to have an ever so slight hollow grind and wasn't a really beautiful, perfectly even grind so went with a secondary microbevel rather than put all that work into a true scandi. Having difficulty getting it anywhere near as sharp as my Ka-Bar and i've gotten pretty good at putting fine edges on blades.
There's a problem nobody's talking about - the heat treat, it may not have one. What notes i could find on it, Condor says Rockwell between 50 and 55; that's quite a spread and pretty low for 1095 (ESEE says 56-58 and Ka-Bar says 57-59 for theirs, can't find anything on the Mora Garberg beyond a note about 'high hardness'). Have suspicions that even that '50-55' may be just a ballpark. Accidentally dropped the knife about 1.5 feet, came down tip first. Didn't break. Didn't bend. It did mushroom. Seen that in lead bullets but can't say i've ever seen that in a knife before.
The Terrasaur is a decent beater utility knife but you can find those at a gas station for less and with better fit and finish and decent sheath at that. But if you've got a soft spot in your heart for mongrel puppy dogs, the Terrasaur might appeal to you.
Hey Chris! Where is part 2? I love this knife and there is great price on it even here in central europe. Must have it!
If I didn't already have one of those hard to get Jääkäripuukkos I'd definitely be interested. Looks pretty good for an affordable knife. However, as crazy as it sounds to knife guys, I'm perfectly happy with the one I have and a backup/EDC folder. :-)
Had a ?? How is Will doing? Just wondering about him
Condor, do a 6inch or 5.5 version
I really hope this one come her to Sweden. I do have several Condor knives but I'm really excited to get this one for some testing on my channel. Looking forward for a bit harder test on this knife from you Chris. Thanks for the sneak peek 😉🔪
I was about to go for the Mora , this Condor will do just fine .. I'm Sold !!
I was lucky enough to get one in April from an amazon store (Canadian or European?) for @$49...no longer in stock. It's a sweet knife, great knife for the money! and mine is the OD green for real. lol. Not as robust as a garberg....more like a bushcraft black with a full tang!!!
It looks like the Benchmade 200 puukko
How many knives do you need?
Prepared mind 101 never have enough.
The terrasaur model was first released as a custom model in D2 from Fiddleback Forge.
Fiddleback Forge is one of the greatest knife makers in the world. Their designs and looks are far better than everything out there.
From 2 other makers as well. One of which is impossible to get from. The fiddleback forge model sadly just hit the discounted box so thatll be hard to come by shortly too
That looks like a perfect knife for me in my price range. I'd probably get one if I wasn't away doing construction. Hopefully there will still be plenty around in a month when I get home. Keep it up with the good videos. I especially like these budget friendly items.
Welp Chris, I took your word again and ordered the knife late last night. Should have it in a week or less. I've purchase a couple of budget knifes on your recommendations and so far I've been happy. My favorite is the Kershaw Camp 10, very nice budget chopper. I call it Vanessa. Yes, I name my favorite knives after my favorite lady bushcrafters. Maybe I'll call the Terrasaur Lilly or Brooke? LOL
countryknives says they have it in stock for $50.00 not sure if thats bullshit or what you probably buy it then get an email saying its on preorder be nice to know a date when they are supposed to be available
There are still a few in knife center in black, green is preorder. I ordered mine in black :)
I own the Terava Jääkäripuukko 110. I would just love to see a head to head video between the two knives. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
Do a three way head to head with those to and the garberg
@@dwaynewallace9265 I myself don't like the Garber, but why the heck not?
I like it, I have several condors and they’re great budget knives! I enjoy using as much as LTW N BHK knives. Love my Moras as well. Lots of sub 75 dollar knives that are awesome!
Chris, this knife has been available for a while. I posted two videos with the green one a couple months ago. I posted them to your FB group then. It's a great knife. I want the orange next. Thanks. - Mark
Check out my field use video - th-cam.com/video/kznEf1Ixofk/w-d-xo.html
Sounds like a Garborg killer to me! Luv the Garborg though...
I feel like I've been hearing about the Terrasaur for over a year now... Not sure if my brain is just kurfugled or not.
Nice now I can afford that benchmade puukko I've been wanting.
Just got one! Taking it out next week. I have a bush lore that got as a blank and has been very durable.
Between the Mora bushcraft black and the condor Terrasaur, what one do you like better?
This will be my first Condor. I like it!
I was interested in this one at first until they took so long to release it. The Real Steel Bushcraft in D2 that I've had for a awhile is only like $5 more expensive & way better blade steel + kydex sheath & micarta handles.
But the real steel knife is a pos chinese knife,i chipped mine in under a week lol.
@@TheCooperman666
You got a lemon.
I got one of those last year...very well made, insanely sharp out of the box. But the handle is quite slippery and there is only a very shallow self-guard... Still, excellent value.
@@gillbates999
Yeah, it seems to not want to go dull. I got the light brown one.
@MOM - Forgot to mention...I found that the kydex sheath is actually also a pretty good fit to the Bark River Bushcrafter 1 CPM 3V. Not perfect, but it won't shake out. So if you've wanted a kydex sheath for the Barkie, you could buy the Real Steel for what you'd pay for a kydex for the Barkie alone, and still have a second knife "for free"...:-)
all that AND made in America!? sign me up!!
My Girlfriend will killing me, with the Terrasaur 😄 if i buy this nice looking knife....damnit...Knives are so amazing, Straight Razors also....
Ordered mine (black) … Strange check out. Shipping fees moved over to "taxes" after purchase. Receipt shows $0.0 shipping. Hope they don't ding me later for another shipping fee.
U.S. Legion Custom Knifeworks found on eBay... full tang, tough as hell, cheaply priced for awesome value...worth a look in my opinion
Is the handle soft feel like the benchmade puukko or hard like a mora?
Gregg Varnadore
Just got my terrasaur yesterday, it’s a harder handle than the benchmade. I’m actually interested in picking up one of those too. But keep hearing mixed reviews about it... how do you like yours?
@@christophercrane2686 I really like it. It's not a true puukko, more like a puukko inspired design. It's a great cutting tool and the edge geometry is spot on with the way the handle indexes in your hand you dont really have to think much about it it use, really easy to know where the edge is at all times.
I have a question and I don't know if you're allowed to answer this or not out of this knife the Mora garberg or the varusteleka Jakari puukko 110 which one is the best in your opinion
I saw Joe showing it off at Blade Show 2019 . I will probably pick up all 3 . I still like the Benchmade 200 Puukko in 3V.
RIP benchmade puuko.
👍👍
The knife is still delayed. I am wondering if they received a letter from Mora company they are working through. Still, hope it comes out for that price. $42 seems like a steal!
Schf36 still kicking asshat 1/4inch 1095 hc! The 37 is next to try
It looks like you could dive with it
A interesting knife I hope to get one when they release them.
Hi chris greetings from south africa.Love yr vids man!!! Could you pleeeeeeze do a review on the condor hudson bay knife?
😏😉🤔🤠💒🙏🇺🇸
Awesome Chris, just purchased a Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110 finally after your amazing review and often saying it's still a great knife 👍 can't wait to get out and use it😜
Tell will we all are pulling for him.
Love it.. I really like 1095. I'm surprised the sheath is well made.
KIZER just came out with the Sequoia. Contoured G10, 1095 steel and a kydex sheath. And it has a reasonable price tag.
Well Shucks..... Another knife I have to have. 🤷♀️
Under $50 that sounds good to me. There is a few knives that came out in 2019 I wouldn't mind having.
Looks like BM puko
A bit... Handle color maybe... But the bm puukko is a very pretty one to my eyes
Mora Kansbol comparable.
Black one was in stock, Just ordered mine. Thanks Chris!
Good deal. I didn't see the black one.
Yup got mine in black too!!
just ordered mine in black too
Got a response today that black one is also on back order, Dang
Knife looks good but that knife sheath needs to go it covers 3/4 of the handle just like one of those Mora knife sheath. I want my whole hand on the grip so it can be drawn fast and easy. Who says a bush craft knife needs to be so difficult to draw?
Great video
Would really take a lot for me to take another chance on a condor.. they have always been so hit and miss for me. But for the price..
You know any good welding jobs in ohio I'm looking to move to a free state and leave western new York state I can tig mig sub arc and orbital weld
Cool.
my problem with all condor knives i have bought is they are not sharp
My first condor was the rhodan ot was dog shit.but condor has reinvented itself nice stuff
The rhodan was not a good knife, probably why a lot of them where given in battle box subscription boxes lol.
@@TheCooperman666 hahah I bet I'd be pissed if that showed up again at my house
I dont have a problem with condor I have beat the snot outta my woodlaw and bushlore and love them both and I will be ordering one of these aswell
Great knife, mine came in the mail today from Knife Center!!! O.D. GREEN!
how can it be a true bushcrafter if it is not o1 steel with a 0 degree scandi.. just joking Chris. great vid
I was thinking "just throw it in the bag" beore you said it! #SamePage
Very cool! I'll watch this one with great interest! Top 3 comment! 👍
Some company is selling these on Amazon for $85 + shipping. Ha!
What about the Condor Kephert?
I like the look at this though.
Id like em better if they cost more..;)
Lets see a multi day camp shelter vid w Jx5!! Bark River rules💙
Condor is STILL hit or miss as far as fit and finish, heat treat, etc.
Need stainless steel version for those of us that live around salt water and get things exposed to it daily.
Very cool,,, we need a stockist in New Zealand ,,,, I wants one
Were the mushrooms for the artistic backdrop?
Budget benchmade puuko lol
I prefer this knife, even though the other is fancier steel. This has a better handle and a better feel. Definitely a better sheath!
Very nice professor!👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice variant of a classic. will look it up
is the handle a hard plastic or more softer than it looks?
Both of them look really good. The gladius looks like fun.
Kind of off topic, but what kind of ferro rod are you using? That thing throws an amazing amount of sparks.
A custom made one
I’m normally a Stainless guy since I live in a wet area but I’ve been wanting to give 1095 a shot. This one might fit the bill at its current price point. Thanks 👍
just keep the knife oiled or dip it in hot vinegar for 20mins to get a good black coating of carbon on the blade to help it stop rusting.
man good on condor. they have been killing it and really have a good feel for the market
I want one for sure looks like it has full tang to rite ..
At first glance it reminds me of the Esee RB3.
Looks like a mora copy for more money. I'll stick to a esee 4
What? It's half the price of the garberg, it's direct competitor.
Its basically a mora garberg in 1095 steel
Hey chris was that a full tang knife?
Random question what angle of a grind did you put on your TOPS BOB?
IDK... That was like 5+ years ago.
I cant wait to see the Gladius, Ive been wanting to own it since I saw the 2019 list last year.
Looks really nice
Very nice knife, thank you sir.
Awesome budget knife!
I can’t wait for this to hit the market! Looks awesome
Is it full tang?
A true budget work of working art.
I want one!
Really nice 👍
42 bucks?! Budget?! Real budget deal is Mora Basic 511 or Classic N 1.
Broke to meny of those (no battoning) This is probably the cheapest fulltang knife not useing chinese cutlery steel.
WOW! Looks awesome!!!
Wow !
Is the sheath ambidextrous?
from another reviewer i saw, i recall the loop around the sheath can be reversed for us lefties
Yes it is
I did a review on this blade it's definitely badass for 40 something buck's. 👊💀
Why do you insist on putting the knife in the sheath the wrong way? ;) You have the carry system ready for left hand carry but the knife in for right hand carry so the thumb ramp is now on the index finger side.
The knife fits ambidextrous I know. But a good review.
I have the first production and later they made some improvements to the sheath and most of all the rivets.
But for sure it's a good solid budget small camp knife.
Shit I got mine months ago with the new sheath you just pre ordered it came into order in like a week got it in two day's all you gotta do is order it and wait. Not a long wait either.👊
Agree the Price is Right 4 most of Ya's sadly 4 me Ole DAV not close ! So Carry On w/my 25+ yr ole GI mora now fugly but Luvly 2 me still. Great site dream alot here someday maybe Santa won't do a flyover but Land LoL ;)
Just waiting for them to become widely available. 👍
