4:25 "u wont find a camera out there either" ....thats what i love about ur responses Brian. U keep it real, respectable & so funny. Thanks for sharing the video.
As a left handed bushcrafter I'm so happy they released an ambidextrous version. Now if they could make left handed options for their leather sheaths it would be greatly appreciated
1095 steel , 4.5 inch blade , drop point , Under 50 $ . YESsssss I am In
Can’t go wrong am I right? Waiting for mine in the mail
Its a 4.15" blade. Not 4.5. I wish they had made it 4.5".
good morning Brian, i would really like to see a " greatest hits " video of you balance testing knives over the years . i could easily watch 10 or 15 minutes of you chunking pointy things !
That would be the worst video on youtube
Thank you for stating that Joe Flowers was making a knife like years ago. He just worked out how to bring the cost was down. Good video as usual thanks.
I bought it in orange and it came razor sharp right out of the box. Strikes a ferro rod with no difficulty. I love how it feels in the hand. I put a paracord lanyard on mine and used a Nite🌛Ize clip to hold it better and make it easier to access. Thank you Bryan for making these videos. It helps me decide whether or not to purchase a product I'm in the market for.
Awesome no BS, straight forward USABLE knife, made from the best knife steel ever created!
It's so hot out here, the fire is cooling me off...... It's a good looking knife. Great job on the calibration.
Excellent. Reminded me of Schrade Saturdays; one reason I subscribed to this channel.
Yes, John Cameron Swayze would have been proud. And I do own a Timex Expedition; plastic, inexpensive, and "still ticking" for years on the original battery.
“It’s so hot out here this fire is cooling me off” 😂😂
U.S. Legion Custom Knifeworks found on eBay... usa made, full tang, tough as heck and cheaply priced. Worth a look in my opinion for those of us on a budget
Hmmm.
Thanks Brian. I've been holding off buying a full tang scandi. Looks like this might be the one! For the price of a new harmonica!
Here in Australia the Terrasaur is more expensive than the Garberg . So it's a no brainer to get the better quality Garberg .And yes I have condor knives and I do like them .
I like them
Both.
Picked one up in coyote brown after the sheath redesign. I gotta say, Condor knocked this one out of the park. Learned to use the outside of my index finger to release from the sheath.
Glad to see Condor using 1095 vice 1075. I'm not a steel snob and to be honest their 1075 has worked just fine for me but I like to get the most for my money. It took a lickin' and kept on tickin'.
I'm sold. Ordered. It doesn't look like you can beat it for a bushcraft knife at this price point.
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 ⚔️
John Cameron Swayze? I'm assuming you mean the old Timex commercials. "Takes a licking and keeps on ticking". That is one obscure reference man. Love it.
As you stated Joe brought the Terrasaur to the market many years ago so this design as been out there for awhile. Condor made the smart move to bring it to market at a better price to compete with the Mora Garberg.
Yep
Looks like an upgrade to the bushlore - a knife that I also have and really like.
Dang it Bryan! You have no idea how many Schrade knives I have bought after watching you review them and now you go and do this,,,, lol. Seriously though this does look like an awesome budget friendly knife but in all truth I have to say my one true favorite knife is a schrade that you reviewed and it's the SCHF58L with the leather sheath upgrade. But hey maybe adding this Condor to the stable isn't a bad idea.
Nice knife and some beautiful Georgia ceder! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the demonstration Bryan. Full Tang and 1095 Steel is nice. The handle looks like it might be comfortable for extended use in the field. I really like that type of sheath too. The price seems very reasonable for what you get.
I agree
Appears to be a great value. I'm hard on blades and knowing I can trust one is extremely important. Thanks for a great review.
Great posting. Thanks for the review. I can always count on your reviews to help me decide whether or not to make a purchase. 👍👍👍
I take my chain saw and find a lot of level stump tops. Good show thank you Brian.
I wouldn't call it a garberg copy either as the same blade is used for another condor knife with maple handles (can't recall the name)...having said that, it would be in the same market niche as the garberg.. oh and it fits in the mult mount system-thinner sheath but overall height makes it work...not as robust as a garberg but at a price that is more than $30 less it can do the job! Slight advantage to the garberg but think of it as a full tang bushcraft black at a little less cost.
Wow. That cedar is no joke. If your knife is too thin, to baton it through a knot like that can bend your blade. Good test of the knife.
Thanks
Must get one myself. It’s the look and design I’m looking for
That is a nice looking knife and I like the way it looks and performs for you.
I hope you are well
Every time I think I'm set on knives you show me another one lol 😂looking like I need another garage sale to make room. Thanks so much and blessings to you and your family 😇
I'm a huge Schrade fan but it's good to see you do some other good budget blades too.
Great knife! It's a lot like my mora bushcraft black, which is my favorite fixed blade knife and also around $50. I carry it when foraging for chaga......
It's a good starter knife or something to keep in the vehicle. Love the design, like the handle. Under the microscope there's a lot of finer details they overlook when compared to a Mora Garberg, but it's also half the price.
I don't like the sheath though. It's great that it's ambidextrous It's a really cheap soft plastic that won't keep retention long term as far as I've observed.
This wud make a great companion to my Condor Ktac Kukri 🔪....looks very versatile...gotta order me one 😃
Very well designed knife. Joe has matured incredibly as a knife designer.
Great review Brian , thanks Condor for supplying the goods, glad to see the calibration came into focus :-) big thumbs up
Looks awesome, went through the SOP paces well, calibration test was great. Thanks for Not teasing us like that guy Tanner Im sure his review will be great also.
Brian much Respect for Your Honesty with the '' Calibrating '' that You showed , Some People would have Edited that out ! Mora are going to be Angry over this Beauty for sure !
Thanks
What a great way to flash the Americaness with that quick gun show with the belt hahahah
I have not seen one of these. Thanks for showing it.
Knife looks like a winner for the price. Btw the tent in the back how water tight is it .when i seen all the seams in it . If would take me forever to seam seal it. I like idea of the tent.
I like the knife stuff at the old stump top.
so do I ;-)
I have two. The fit &finish are both good, however, they arrived dull and had to be sharpened. These are my "go to" blades. Still like BK17 and Bushlore and Companions, though.
I love my Condor Bushlore, great knife for what I paid for it. I'm gonna have check this one out.
Man that red in that dry cedar looks beautiful. Looks like it would be nice to stabilize it and make some handle scales with it.
It would indeed
It's finally available?? Nice. Looks like they hit it out of the park.
As far as I can tell it is barely a available so far.
Great video. Do you have any videos on the esee knives?
I love Conndor knife
hello,i'm looking for my my first bushcraft knife, but i was looking at the Steel will druid 265, and nog i found your video about this Condor Terrasaur. hmmm you have me doubting now for with one i should go, both are around the same price here in Belgium. But i do like the sheath design of the terrasaur a bit more...
Spend the money on a ESEE6 first then do the featured blade. You can bet your life on the ESEE and it will last forever.
@@heyoldtime8969 thanks for the tip, but the ESEE knife is 3 times the price of the ones I was looking at.
It is a good knife
I seen Tanners Review I really want that knife! Great review Brian!
I believe the ESEE flint striker is 1095. Suspect that blade might be tempered back a bit more than a striker, but yes, I think that might work as a striker. Good on Condor for taking the Garberg concept and running with it. I said it a million times: Mora showed their business acumen when they set the price of the Garberg as high as they did. But it was a matter of time before the competition caught up to them. And so it begins. Another option for those who confused their Bushcraft knife with a survival knife and “demanded” full tang construction.
I want a full tang knife. Whatever you call it. Bushcraft or survival. I want any knife I carry to be capable of whatever I need.
Survival On Purpose I do too. That’s my point. Now you can have a full tang bushcrafter for less than half the price of the Garberg. You heard it here first: Mora will drop the price of the Garberg to something more reasonable early next year. (That’s a prediction.... no insider info here!)
Wow really nice looking fixed blade!!! :D
"Takes a licking and keeps on ticking" :-) Interesting knife. I have the Mora Garberg, just may get this one too, I like the design, might get the Orange one...
Good review I hope I will able to get one.
I like it *AND* it's affordable. The problem is...that Condor represents 10% of the Dogwood Kephart blade I am saving for thanks to you and Dan. You're killing me here, Bryan. 😆
You still can’t beat Schrade prices, but not bad. My everyday wear watch is an automatic wind up watch like my old Timex from 1979.
You know that was a advertising gimmick. It didn't keep good timing.
another great video! Thanks Brian!
John Cameron Swayze would be proud of you. I really like the knife. I just wish Condor Mora or K Bar would make one in a 5-inch blade. A five inch blade is just a little bit better of a belt knife. Like the terosaur in a 5 inch blade, Becker knife, or a mora knife in it 5 inch blade. Hoping one day. God Bryan I remember the Marlboro Man, I'm sure you do too
Cool tests! I would definitely say the handle and sheath design is similar to the Kansbol, which is no big deal some things are similar, but not much of it is so similar to the Garberg besides the grind and the coating use. Both of which predate all three knives. Almost everywhere we go, or have gone, a million people have been before and scribbled cuss words all over it.🤣 Is that directly out of the box or modified? Was sick and in the ER for a while. Good one again, and all the best until the next one!
Hey Brian what in your opinion is a better knife this knife you're reviewing now the Mora garberg or the varusteleka Jakari puukko 110
Honestly, I think all three are excellent knives.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose I know they're great knives I was just asking in your opinion which one is the best if you're not allowed to answer that I understand with sponsors and things like that
Very good. Thank you very much
Thanks
I’ve got to stop watching these videos. I’ve bought too many knives already. Lol
Better than watching other stuff I watch. I just bought a $1000 piece of pocket art...
@@csquared4538
D’oh! Lol.
I’ve sold a bunch of my fancy knives. The only ones I keep now are the ones I actually use.
ironfae: *_YOU ARE NOT ALONE!_*
@@bruno2333
Lol. Thanks.
Another great option.
Hey Brian, that looks like a nice knife. What is the thickness on the blade and can you gice me some info on that tent that was shown in the beginning of your vid. Thanks
Check CondorTK for specs. I think I listed everything I could find. As for the tent, it is from Battlbox. I have to say it has been set up for a few weeks. The other night it rained like 4 cows peeing on a flat rock and there was a little water in the tent the next day.
Awesome thank you for sharing your knowledge and information about the product with us. Cheers!
Another great video from your World Wide Headquarters .. Need to pick one up Thanks Brian
I like it! And the price is right. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
No more knives for me. But I bet that’s a good one. That old Kephart knife I bought from Condor is still going strong and it was reviewed so long ago the B.O.A.R.D. hadn’t even been installed in the SOP worldwide headquarters.
dang Jake. That was a while ago.
Brain you wouldn't find a hole commenters also. Don't worry if you have haters you must be doing something right. Great stuff brother keep up the good work.
How is the handle seal around the tang ? Meaning any gaps the water can get down it
Yeah I've been wanting to try one of those but I already have a carbon Garberg with the leather sheath, and got it for only 55 bucks so I can't really justify buying a terrasaur, regardless of price
Awesome knife
that is a 100% good outdoor blade.
Really enjoy seeing these high value survival gear reviews. And you're right: cedar sure smells nice, whether it's cut or burned. Hmm: an SOP-branded line of cologne for men? First scent: 'Cedar Bushcraft' (tm) - for men of action!
I'm late but give this a go...

I love this stuff!
Took a licking, in your balance and rotation testing, and it shouldn't be ticking. It's a knife, not a timex. Liked your video, as always. The Terrasaur looks like a steal for the money. Thanx.
This is an awesome knife...and perfect for camping and my needs. I bet it would take care of Frog Legs with no problem...lol.
Thanks for the review Brian, cool knife. Oh I cannot find the knife for less than $80.
Just be patient. I don't think it has really made it "to market" yet. The List Price is only $50 so folks are gouging.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose Will do. Thanks Brian.
Thanks
If I can make a recommendation for future videos I'd like to see a video on all the watches you own. I'm kind of a watch freak lol.
Is there a video where you teach people how to do the "rotational balance test?" I'd really like to learn to do that.
2 so far, both are longer than I wanted. I'm gonna make a version 3.0 soon.
I didn't even get to the end of the video, and I bought it. I blame you, and condor's quality :D
(I saw no skunk)
Gosh I love this channel. More than my channel.
Aw shucks. You are too kind.
Nice looking steel, and NINJA SKUNK. 🐴.
Skunk? What skunk?
Did this originally come in 1095 because all i see everywhere is 1075 at the time of this post.
$30 cheaper than the Garberg, looks like a good deal. Did the knife need calibration or your arm?
I heard tell that it fits a certain multi mount system also.Thats just what I heard.🤷♂️
Hmmm
Good knives are alive. Terrasaur was reluctant to calibrate into the residual STINK!
Diggin' the Terrasaur !
I love this blade. I have had mine for two months and its holding up great. it is now my main bushcraft/survival blade. I did a first impressions video of it on my channel.
Cool
Knifeworks says it has been discontinued and they are the only link to buy it that I could find. Do you have a link where it can be purchased?
Apparently it is still so new it has not made it to most of the retail outlets yet. I haven’t been that far in front of distribution on a knife review since the Schrade Saturday days.
You also wouldn't find a knife in nature. Sure seems like a lot of knife for the price. Thanks for sharing this with us Brian.
Is the handle soft feel like a benchmade puukko or hard like a mora?
I’d say more like a Mora
The Original Terrasaur pre-dates the Garberg doesn't it?
Yes, it does.
nice knife:) love the railroad sign as iam a model railroader:)
That used to be on the driveway where my wife grew up. When we were dating, sometimes I had to wait for the train before I could get her home. (Some of those times. I wanted the train to slow down). The house had been gone for a long time now and we rescued the train sign several years ago.
For the price this looks like the knife to get this year.
Looks really nice. This is one of the new knife I really wood like to test out, but can't find it to buy her in Sweden ☹
Great Review! I subscribed, I missed your reviews Brian. How does Condor Tera compare to mora kansbol?
Don't know
Kansbol has better steel. 12C27 Sandvik Swedish stainless steel.
I like your video and would recommend if someone is considering a mora garberg
or the Condor they should also watch the video that features both of these knives on the corporals corner Channel.
Stay tuned for my take on that soon
Dang I like that knife. I may just have to get me one. It's a good looking knife.
