Condor Bushlore Fixed Blade 18

Condor make good no frills blades and this is one of their best - very comfortable hardwood handle scales, very sharp scandi grind, for the price I have only praise for the knife. It may not have the "cachet" of the Woodlore original but it is certainly good enough to use for any bushcraft task. HH service exemplary as usual.

The knife came by post in excellent package, few days after the order. Fantastic value for money. It is razor sharp out of the box. No (visible) flaws in workmanship or finish.Just passed it few times on my leather strop and the blade was equally sharp on its full length. The sheath is made out of thick brown leather which makes god pair with brown scales. Also no visible flaws on the sheath. Engineering and workmanship is on the level of many times expensive knifes. Hope it will last.

I recently purchased the Condor Bushlore for use and abuse whilst wild camping, and for general camp activities. Took it to Devon with me last week along with my trusty Mora Companion and my newly purchased Cold Steel Finn Bear. Out of the box it was sharp enough to be put straight to work, however a few minutes on the stone got it sharp enough to shave my arm with. Unlike a lot of these reviews, my Condor came in perfect condition, with no imperfections as far as I could tell. Whilst in Devon I cut down several saplings and branches with ease, the proceeded to use the Bushlore to craft a nice homemade ashtray with my harvested wood :) The blade didn't hold a good edge for very long, but it is very easy to sharpen, and it is a very easy knife to work with, even for delicate bits of whittling. It is very comfortable in the hand and has great balance and weight. My only issue with the knife is that the oiled handle soon became a not-very-oiled handle, and has become quite rough to the touch after only a week of heavy use. I'm going to have to rub some oil into the handle again as soon as I get the chance. HH service was impeccable, ordered on the Saturday, received on Wednesday! even though one of the knives I ordered was supposedly out of stock and I would have to wait 21 days for delivery....

Well , first off I ordered this knife on the 28/10/14 at 11AM, I received the knife 9AM 29/10/14!!!! The knife has no defaults on it nor the sheath, the edge was ground perfectly and the sheath is worth £40 on its own, quality of the leather is ace! The knife arrived sharp enough to replace my Gillette Fusion. The handles fit in my size large hand very well and has a great palm swell. I spent a long time, searching for a good all-round bush crafty type do most things smallish knife, if I paid £100 for this knife I would still give it 5 stars

This is the knife I use most it's the one I reach for when I need a knife. It's low priced, strong, sharp, easy to look after and I don't have to worry about damaging an expensive knife. My only problem is my other knives, I just don't need them. There are better knives but I love this one.

Having read many reviews on the Condor Bushlore I knew that the knife had been improved since being introduced, however I was still slightly concerned as to what the example I received would be like. Well, I need not have had any concerns. The knife arrived literally shaving sharp with perfect even grind. The hardwood handles were smooth & contoured & the pins & lanyard ferrule were perfectly smooth to the surface. An extremely comfortable grip & the fit & finish is equal to knives 10 times the price. The sheath is really good for the price made of thick well stiched leather. I couldn't be more happy with this purchase & would certainly recommend it to anyone. In line with Heinnie's excellent service I received the package 2 days after ordering & that was with the standard shipping. 5 stars all round.

This is a great knife received today. Reasonably weighty, enough for it to be classed as sturdy and robust, which it is. Came sharp enough to cut paper if pulled tight enough, not quite sharp enough to cut my arm hair so I will need to give it few licks of the strop/belt. The only issue was that I thought the sheath was a little too tight for the knifes handle. It takes a little tugging to pull it out again. I'm sure it will loosen up over a few days or so of putting it in and out during use. All in all well worth the money. I hope my mum doesn't shout at me for buying a knife without her permission. I am 21 now so I don't have to listen to her advice anymore hahaha.

First off HH service was vey good, Top class.. The Bushlore Knife surprised me, I was unsure if I should order as it seemed too cheap for a 'proper' bushcraft knife! However, it is a great piece of kit, nice razor sharp blade, great wooden handle and really good robust feel. Good quality all round, feels great in the hand and fits snug in the leather sheath which is also great quality. Definitely recommend..

Really pleased, firstly with the HH service, may see the knife cheaper on a couple of other sites, but stick with one you can trust to deliver safely and quickly. Secondly, knife came sharp enough to shave hairs on forearm, solid feel to it, comfortable handle sits well in a fairly large hand, have tried it making kindling, cutting rope, worked fine, and prepped veg afterwards. Really good sheath - thick leather, very secure fit. Well pleased with it as a knife, sure I will get long service from it. Trying at camp this weekend.
