I recently had the pleasure of meeting Joe Flowers - who is a brand ambassador for Condor. In addition he personally designed 80% of the blades in their inventory. Fantastic guy. It's stunning the amount of bushcraft knowledge he has - especially in repurposing materials. His area of expertise is the Amazon, so it's even more interesting to see his work being used in such a geologically different region.
I don't have the original, but I do have the blue micarta and 14C28N version. I think they're calling it the Aqualore. I'm a fan of the bushlore design in general, and have a few different brands in the same shape. Great knives for working with wood!
Bjorn, I know what you mean. When I started into bushcraft, I fell in love with knives too! I have 9 now, from a small Swiss Army to a machete! Largely influenced by my first TH-camr, "Fun in the Woods with Dave Pearson". You would really like his videos!
Hello Bjorn, very nice review as always! Do you have an opinion on the Mora Bushcraft Carbon Black? I think it’s in the Cavelore and Bushlore price range (while the Mora Lok is way more expensive), it would be nice to do a comparison maybe.
I'd be curious to hear your opinions on the Helle knives. I've handled a couple and have been impressed with the fit and finish of them, as well as the seemingly super light weight. They aren't very common state side, but I would think that they would be a default brand for you.
If I had to choose, I might go for the Mora Lok. They are very similar, but I prefer the Mora steel. But the Bushlore and the Cavelore are better value for the money.
I subscribe to all your channels, and appreciate all you do in each one of them. Check out the Condor “Sigrun”. And we both know that you really can’t have “too many knives”. SKOL
I have a question and that might be a little dumb, but... why make a review video of a product that you havent tested? Also, the scandi MUST be rounded to follow and aid the motion of the hand and arm as you push down a piece of wood.
What? No, not at all. I grew up with Scandi grind knives here in Norway and almost all of them have a straight edge out to the tip. And to the first thing there, yes, that was a little dumb, that question. Luckily I decide what I do here on my channel.
@@BjornOutdoors that is what I thought, and since you are the expert then I give you the right to pronounce my question as dumb and thank you so much for correcting me, I was then always wrong that a subjective decision on something or to determine the durability and usefulness of a product was only achieved after thorough testing, I was wrong then to think that was what science was all about, but thank you so much for correcting me out of my faulty way of rationalising things, now and thanks to you I know the most objective and scientific way to properly assess as product is just by looking at it straight out of the box. I cannot thank you enough for correcting me out of my wrong ways!
I have had my Bushlore Condor for several years…it is a cheap but strong and functional knife…can only recommend it.
Love mine. Would buy it again in a second.
I LOVE Condor Knives!
This is an awesome review. I love seeing the practicality of what you have in real time.
Glad you liked it, my friend!
Have had this one for years now and is definitely a favorite. Have given it as a gift multiple times as well. Great knife!

Ur right ..putting a razor edge them is a bit of work . Looking forward 2 a video of how u do it ! Have a great day .
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great review! Very helpful and on point. Thank you for your time into this review. 😊
Cant wait to hold one in real life 😊
Ordered my cavelore today
I love the details of the knife you had forged. it is more interesting 🙌🏽✨🙌🏽
I've been looking for a proper survival knife, looks like I might pick up both this and the cavelore. Thanks.
That's an awesome knife got a few condors to include that one.
I have that knife, very satisfied with it Bjorn. With a spare leather piece I've implemented a ferro rod loop in the sheath.

Thanks for the review. Will buy one if it is available again.
Even I am learning from and enjoying these reviews!
Glad to hear that, my friend.
@@BjornOutdoors Always a pleasure
Nice review
Thanks Bjorn 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you liked it, Anthony!
Excellent and interesting demo. Makes me want to buy them...thanks
Haha, they should pay me for these reviews, then! But yes, I really like this knife.
@@BjornOutdoors
Yes they should pay you. I
It was interesting and enlightening
great video, do a video of the other one you compared it with.
I'm still practicing my sharpening skills, getting better!

Yes, I know that channel and I subscribe to it, actually. And yes, knives are great fun. And there is something very primal about them.
I have and like this knife a lot. But if I may suggest, give the Swamp Romper a try.

Came here looking for info about the Bushlore, Left wanting a Cavelore
I'm always looking for a new knife.
Almost a exact copy of the Lars Fält knife, or the other way around...
I'd be curious to hear your opinions on the Helle knives. I've handled a couple and have been impressed with the fit and finish of them, as well as the seemingly super light weight.
They aren't very common state side, but I would think that they would be a default brand for you.
I do have a couple or more of them, the Viking among others.
Getting knife crazy?? ❤😊
Always have been!
Hi Bjorn ( TELFELHAL )
Brother have you ever done a video about how to sharpen scandi?
I think I haven't, only one on sharpening with a small stone in the field. I will look into making a video on that.
Do you think Cavelore is better than Mora Lok?
If I had to choose, I might go for the Mora Lok. They are very similar, but I prefer the Mora steel. But the Bushlore and the Cavelore are better value for the money.

The AQUALORE ALL-WEATHER FIXED BLADE BUSH KNIFE is a better knife no rust you can even use it as a dive knife
those two
Have you any experience throwing knifes? Some of these look well enough balanced for this. ( Don't do it on utube!)
No, not really. And I would of course not do that on TH-cam, as you say...
Its just a knife...
I stopped listening at "I haven't really tested it yest" Why are did you do a video on a knife you don't know anything about ?
Don't you fear that Morakniv won't pay you anymore after this betrayal?
