Condor Bushlore Fixed Blade 18

Ordered this mid afternoon with standard delivery and it came next morning, thanks guys, top service. The Bushlore has a good heft to it and is very comfortable in the hand. From the box it cut paper with ease and after a bit of stropping the hairs on my arm jumped ship from fear of the approaching blade! Seriously though it took little effort to get it to a razor finish, A far more bushcrafty feel to it than anything else in it,s price range. Well worth the few bucks it cost.

My condor bushlore just arrived today in switzerland. I watched some reviews on youtbe and bought it from heinnie's. I must say they have a really nice support and ship very fast, even abroad! But I had to pay like 20 pounds additional duty on my package, wich wasn't mentioned while I was ordering it. [parcel was sent from the EU to a non-EU country] But hte quality of the knive looks really good, but I'm not quite sure if it's the newest version of it, because i read, that the newest version got a 4.5mm blade but this one is only 3. anyway, I'm going to test it soon in the wood. Btw, the sheath is great!

I'd read dozens of reports on this knife including the negative reviews. At this price, I decided it was worth the risk. I needn't have worried. The quality and finish of the knife I received was spot on. The scales are much better wood than shown in most of the photos and are a much deeper walnut type colour and even show some grain and figuring. they are actually very classy and comfortable. The blade was very sharp. it cut paper easily, but struggled a little as a razor :) It juts a took a couple of passes over the strop and it was razor sharp! It seems that Condor have really improved their QC!

Owned mostly folding knives up until I needed a fixed blade knife for work and for basic bushcraft. Bought this on the 50+ positive reviews it had received on Hennie and it truly does deserve the credit it has been given. It was razor sharp out of the box and I learnt to be careful with it very fast as there are several nicks in my fingers that I didn't notice or feel until I saw the blood! The leather pouch included is great, hold the knife safely and securely. For £30 you really can't go wrong with this knife, its an excellent piece of kit to add to your inventory.

ordered friday afternoon and received saturday morning but did not pay extra for next day shipping... amazing!!! knife came well packaged, in the box we have all seen on youtube. as we all know, condor altered this knife in 2011, moving from 5mm thick to 3mm, i have heard the previous model described as a crowbar, handle scales were smooth, because i had heard bad things i bought sandpaper to smooth them down which after finishing with linseed oil gave a perfect finish. i personally don't like the satin/bead blast finish, would prefer to see metal but thats me. DID NEED SHARPENING, seemed inconsistently sharp out the box with the tip being much sharper the near the handle. hopefully when i get a 6k grit stone i will be able to get a mirror finish. in short... buy this knife. awesome service from this company that i will be using in the near future, the knife is an essential piece of kit that everyone must have

I still can't believe that this knife costs £35. It is perfectly balanced, razor sharp and the handle has been really well finished. Plus the sheath is the quality of a more expensive kinfe. Hennies service is outstanding ,I ordered it yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning . My advice is if you are thinkng about getting one don't waste time thinking. Just order one.

Super quick delivery, just before Christmas as well. Did not know what to expect finish wise on the knife, but was pleasantly surprised to find it only needed a light sanding with 800 grit, and then some finishing oil. Scales had some nice figuring as a bonus. Very sharp blade straight from the box, knew it was a good 1075 high carbon steel, my knife had good even grinds. These knives are superb value, and HH are a super company to deal with.

I ordered both this and the mini bushlore knife aware of the generally good reviews but with apparent 'variables' in quality control. Well I don't know if I was just lucky or if the QC has improved, but both were excellent straight out of the box. Both easily shaved the hairs on my arms without any stropping or sharpening needed (incidentally none of my Esee's which I love came that sharp out the box). Both have really nice grained handles. Yes they need oiling/waxing, but I shall enjoy doing that and look forward to the result. I have yet to see how the steel (1075) holds up compared with my 1095's but at this price all I can say is WOW. As usual Heinnie's service (online and over the phone) was exceptional!

After reading some very good reviews of this 'affordable' knife, I ordered one. I'd read these blades 'can be' a little rough around the edges f&f wise and the blade edge, 'can be' a bit dull OTB? But they still represent great value for money!? Unless I've just been VERY lucky? Mine is BLOODY SUPERB for the money! F&f is great, the edge is paper cutting sharp and I haven't even touched it with stone or leather yet! All I've done is, given the lovely leather sheath its first 'feed' of bees wax, given the h/wood slabs a couple of rubs with a little pure Tung Oil and knocked off a tiny 'pip' bur that was on the very tip of the blade with ceramic rod. I own blades in the £200 bracket, and I can honestly tell the reader, this is going to be a 'favourite' workhorse knife for me! Just buy one now Guys & Gals, I know you'll be as pleasantly surprised with your bargain as I was! Do I need say - HH service simply ROCKS? No...I didn't think so!! :-) ATB, Dazza.
