With all things considered, these newer generations of condors have been crushing it. I bought two terrasaurs from amazon, one had immediate issues (looked like it was used, the handle burnt by a molding process, and the spine was round round). That one went back to amazing. The second I kept. It only had very minor and likely all cosmetic issues. I got in touch with condor and told them my experience. They sent me an example that was 100% perfect and as described in their product description. No cost to me. And took only about two months (weird shipping from other countries in COVID-19 times). Overall outstanding experience with the knife and customer service.
I got a Bushglider about two years ago now. It was okay, but just not my style. I just gave it to someone who is just starting out with the bushcraft/survival lifestyle. He was very happy with it. On the other hand, I have two Terrasaurs, and may get another in another color.
Any time anyone can find a good knife made out of tested, reputable, quality steel for a good price, I want to know about it, its specs, and to see it used. You do that well. What drives it home for me and others is that we know your character through experience and you’re trusted. That’s a good thing. Carries a lot of weight.
I went with the Terrasaur, For the price point it's an awesome little bush craft knife. It also makes a great knife to keep packed away in a ready bag, which I keep in my truck. I do have other knives that I use for game processing or food prep.
I like these knives! I love carbon steel, but there’s something to be said for stainless in a field environment. My Kansbol never rusts when I’m out camping & it’s wet out.
I recently bought a terrasaur from Amazon. I got the knife and it appeared to be made of quality material for a "budget" knife. Then I stared noticing some bad QC issues. The bevels on either side was at different angles and the knife was molded into the plastic off-centered. I wouldn't mind some cosmetic stuff but if I seen the knife in person, I wouldn't even consider buying it.
Like you, I'd pick the Bush Glider as well, for precisely the reasons you name. However, COMMA, I'm in high-humidity, hot, and salty conditions. So stainless preferred. I hope Condor creates stainless versions, like they've done with the Mini Duku Parang and the Village Parang this year. I'd definitely grab that.
The jimping and the tapered spine, that only weakens the tip, kill the new full flat version for me. So I'll continue looking for an affordable companion style knife with flat grind and carbon steel blade. Till then, my D2 manly Patriots will do fine. I just would like them develop a patina over time without abusing them willingly.
Hey there...long time follow up. I love the Bushglider.....it is not great at anything but very good at everything. I have used it to clean fish, start fires and make tent stakes. Great universal knife!
Thanks for the vid. I’ve been thinking about getting the Terrasaur for a while. Don’t know why I just don’t buy it considering the price. I don’t have a scandi knife and this would be a good choice to see how it works. I’ll find something to use it for.
Well I was all prepared to say I’m very happy with my Terrasaur, and wouldn’t need to get a Bush Glider. But after watching this review, I may just have to get one. 😎 I’ve never really been fond of the Scandinavian grind, or Mora Knives. Until they made one with a full tang. And then the price of it made me wait. Then the Terrasaur came out and I got one. Really like it. But I do like the full flat grind and a clip point. How many knives does one man need? For me, these would only be carried in a fire kit, or food kit. I prefer much bigger blades when I’m in the field. But I’m fairly confident that they will both find a place in my gear.
Just hope things work better than my Condor Kephart. Big problem was rough wavy grind on the edge. Spent a lot of time just getting it to be a so so cutter. Knife dropped out of leather sheath and cut me. Not a China fan, but Steel Will Druid impressed me much more than Condor. Buck, Mora and Marttini impresses me also.
I'm pleased the bush glider doesn't have a sharpened swedge (false edge) because now it's legal to carry, not that I don't mind packing a dagger here in California, I just choose not to, Knives that look like the bush glider but have a sharpened false edge I feel greatly limit the knives general usefulness
Good to see them moving to 1095 - Bushglider if could only carry one. With 2, BK7 for a lifetime of hard work processing and a $10 Companion for little stuff.
I'm glad Condor is starting to use 1095 , because I also never liked their 1075 and if i could only have 1 of those knives definitely would go FFG all the way , it's just alot more versatile imo .....👍⚔🖖
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos the last couple of weeks. I just recently got into hiking, and I’m looking for a fixed blade to carry. Ideally, I’d like for it to be fixed to my backpack I bought. I’ve been watching a lot of your knife reviews and pondering what to buy. This video was really helpful, cause I think the bushglider is what I’m going to go with. I really don’t know steel, so what would being the easiest to sharpen, 1095HC or 12C27MoV or 14C28N? Thanks for all your help!
Can't really get excited about the terrasaur with amount of moras and other scandi knives in my collection. That bushglider though, I can definitely see that being a useful camp knife.
Love your reviews especially on knives. Very thorough. If I picked one it would be the bush glider. Trying to figure out where I need another knife LOL thanks for another great review.
Pukkos make me nervous too bro. Bad design when you are tired and cold in the field . They are an accident waiting to happen with no guard. I have the scar to prove it . Thank you for the review, I just bought a Bushglider , handy little blade, good sheath and light too !
Why would I suddenly get ‘Sorry, Community posts are only available on your computer and the latest version of the TH-cam app’ when I try to watch your videos? I can only watch one out of three of your latest videos and been watching your videos for quite awhile with no issues until now.
@@gideonstactical Can’t watch ‘Let’s go into the mountains’, ‘FFG vs Scandi’, or ‘Did you see what GPKnives... but can watch 1095 Steel Condor. I can watch all your videos before these recent ones.
There are always positives and negatives in anything. Too many knives are like the terrasaurs and not too many for the bushglider. I would choose bushglider.
OMG, it’s so damn difficult to choose a knife, never thought it would be such a struggle to pick one up for my needs. I love your detailed videos where you explained difference with wood and food processing showing cuts. One thing I saw Garberg is breaking apple not cutting it. I was going to buy Terrasaur and Kansbol although found cheap Garberg in shop, but now you gave us another option. Could you help me please. I live in UK, do bit of hiking, camping and multiday kayaking (river Wye, Thames) and motorbike trips. I was using cheap silicone handle kitchen knife but destroyed it battoning wood for my SOLO Titan stove. I used saw to process 3inch (7cm) thick pine in 5inch (13cm) pieces for my woden stove and then battoned it in pieces. I would also cut bread, sausage, tomato for my own use in food breaks although I mostly use tin food on my kayaking trips. Would love once to make my own camping soup, peeling, cutting potatoes, onion, raw meat but in all my trips I pitch tent too late to do it. I initial choise was Garberg black, then Garberg stainless steel because black would rust when it’s wet. Then wanted Kansbol as it might be better with food prep, but not sure about battoning wood. That’s why I thought Condor Terrasaur (carbon steel) would be best all rounder. Now you gave me option of Condor bushglider good at food prep. I also looking for a knife what would struck fire rod. I’m leaning towards Kansbol with survival kit? Thanks for your advice! So far I learned Terava kakaaripuuko 110 said beats Terrasaur and Garbner Enzo Trapper D2. Benchmade 200 Puukko Knife £139 -comment say is a winner between 2 , it has strong steel but hard to sharpen. Hultafors OK4 cheap good.
@@MyEnemy haven’t bought any yet. I am thinking I might need two knives. One very thin kitchen knife for preparing food (slice tomatoes, onions, bread) and other for battoning and starting fire. Thanks
Dang! As if I don't have enough knives now! You review these Condor knives I really like your review thank you! Now I want to get me the bushglider! Thanks 👍 oh, you use a knife really good! So I believe you skills are just great!
The reason it's not god for food prep is because it's not designed for food prep. The blade is too wide for a start. Remember, when it comes to knives, three is one and one is none. So take along a small flat grind folder for food prep and other odd jobs. A SAK Farmer or similar or a Douk-Douk or a Mercator K55K are all good for food prep.
I’ll take them both thanx u sexy knife man 😍😘. Take it easy on the apples 🍎 what have they done to u even if u had a bad Apple experience in the past I can’t blame all apples for the actions of a few TRUMP 2020 making apples great again MAGA 👍🏻😅.

I'm in favor of the Terrasaur
Now if they made one that had the flat grind of the Bushglider and the drop point blade shape of the Terrasaur I'd be more interested.
I like these knives! I love carbon steel, but there’s something to be said for stainless in a field environment. My Kansbol never rusts when I’m out camping & it’s wet out.
I use the terrasaur in the kitchen and deer hunting as well as my mora companions they work great cutting meat
Kephart version PLEASE 😀 I hope we see that with these cool low-cost Condors.
Need to purchase both because I can’t decide which one I want
I recently bought a terrasaur from Amazon. I got the knife and it appeared to be made of quality material for a "budget" knife. Then I stared noticing some bad QC issues.

I've always liked the Terrasaur, but ended up pulling the pin on the Morakniv Kansbol. Price was the main factor. Perhaps one day!
I'd be better off with Bushglider bec I do piercing cuts and don't pry. It seems a good design to me! Good having options
Those teeth at the back of the Bushglider. What is it for?
I love that Bushglider, but will have to go with the Terasaur, because that jimping is ridiculous. My thumb hurts just looking at it.
Might have to get the bushglider
Man I think I prefer the Terrasaur over the Garberg really, especially the price. Great Video my Friend

@Eye of the Tiger oh wow! I had not even thought of that! What knife have you been using?
@Eye of the Tiger let me know if you find anything. I'm not seeing anything that big in Ti.
@Eye of the Tiger thanks, man! I'll do liewise!
Terrasaur for sure.
The jimping and the tapered spine, that only weakens the tip, kill the new full flat version for me.

ordered them both , in orange !
orange you glad you ordered them?
For the price, if I needed them, I’d buy both. Figure out which one I use more and keep that and gift the other to someone else.
Seems like both are a great choice
I followed yuor link to Amazon but the information there says the Terrasaur is 1075 steel, not 1095.
Amazon is dump sometimes. Just went to the website. Still made with 1095

Hey bud another pukkoo worth checking out is the Condor Survival pukkoo. It has a big belly at the tip,smashing pommel and black paper micarda scales
With a little tlc with a strop you can turn the terrasaur into a work of art

Knives that look like the bush glider but have a sharpened false edge I feel greatly limit the knives general usefulness
What do you think about choosing between Terrasaur and Mora Garberg? Big differences? Or similar?
The Mora quality will be higher. Better edge retention and ergos are a little better
Mora has better quality control in general
@@gideonstactical And how would you rate looking at cost factor and durability of both knives?
@Transpecies Grolar Bear great response. Thank you.

I know I’m late… by a whole year…but terrasaur all the way the bush glider looks nice but that tapered tip kind of makes me nervous
I think having both would be a complete camp tool kit
Iv'e got Terrasaur, just because it came out first. The grind on the tip of mine, is as asymmetrical, as on yours.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos the last couple of weeks. I just recently got into hiking, and I’m looking for a fixed blade to carry.

1095 will be the easiest, sounds good let me know if you need some other ideas. Glad the content is helping you.
Terrasaur is probably the best bush knife under $50
Can't really get excited about the terrasaur with amount of moras and other scandi knives in my collection. That bushglider though, I can definitely see that being a useful camp knife.
It looks like there is a bit of a recurve on that Scandi Grind , Condors quality control has always been poor ....
Love your reviews especially on knives. Very thorough. If I picked one it would be the bush glider. Trying to figure out where I need another knife LOL thanks for another great review.
Thank you for this review. My Bushglider is on the way! :)
Bush glider is the way to go
Have opportunity to buy bushgkider very nice price, but terrasaur i like a lot. Difficult decision
oh no, not avaible anymore... it was 35 $ a little used but it still looked great
Pukkos make me nervous too bro. Bad design when you are tired and cold in the field . They are an accident waiting to happen with no guard. I have the scar to prove it . Thank you for the review, I just bought a Bushglider , handy little blade, good sheath and light too !
I like the look of that Bushglider
My Bushglider came dull as a butter knife.
Dang I hate that!
But I have a Work Sharp!
Nice comparison. I really enjoy my Condor Bushlore. Wood like to test out dose knives from Condor and others 😁. Thanks for your videos man 😉🔪

There are always positives and negatives in anything. Too many knives are like the terrasaurs and not too many for the bushglider. I would choose bushglider.
Does the Terrasaur have a micro bevel?
Yes it does which I like because I can touch it up easily with a ceramic rod. With a full scandi grind, you can not.
Have you ever met a flat grind (fixed blade) you DIDN'T like? lol nice review...can't believe I missed this one.

I want a ffg terrasoar. I also dislike Condors 1075. Too soft and rolls edge in soft pine. My opinion.
That bushglider is fugly lol, terrasaur all day long.
I have both knives and a very big fan of both, love the 1095 HC steel! Now with that said, I’m also a Mora junky - haha 😂
I love both these Condors 😎👍 Great Video Content

Buy two Moras for the price of one of these.
I've got too many Moras already for that! :D
a full tang scandi
it is a no brainer
the other knife has no interest to me
