Great knife for the price.
Great knife for the price. Finding a sturdy knife that doesn't break your wallet can be difficult, but this knife does just that. It's blade is high carbon, so it will retain its edge well and it has a walnut handle. There arent many knifes that have real wood handles anymore. This one is nice. I don't think you have to worry about it cracking under 'normal' conditions. The only real caveat to this knife is one of its pros: the high carbon steel. It rusts pretty easily. Just take care of it like you would any other tool (because it is a tool). Oil it after every use and if it does rust, a pencil eraser will remove most of it. Others have said that the blade doesn't come 'razor' sharp. Because of the high-carbon steel, the blade will never be razor sharp. If you want something that's razor sharp, get a box cutter or something. This thing was made to endure some tough stuff (batonning, carving, cutting real wood, striking flint, etc.) that would break anything that was razor sharp (high carbon steel is relatively soft compared to low carbon steel. It retains a reasonably sharp edge very well and doesn't break easily. However, low carbon steel will give you your 'razor' sharp edge, but it's also brittle and will break if strained). All in all, it's a good bushcraft knife. It comes with a pretty nice leather sheath that I assume also fits a few of condor's other fixed blades. If you're willing to take care of it, then this is a great buy. Plus, it's hard to beat the pricetag.

Great quality and value
So after receiving my Bushlore I will say that the knife is well made and balanced. The sheath is beautiful. The handle will need some touching up and a good oiling before I bring it into the field but is also very nice, warm feeling and just feels good in the hand. I mainly wanted to comment on sharpness of the blade. It is "sharp" - as in what a new kitchen knife would be. Sharp enough to do those things you want to do but in order to rely on this in the field i'm going to have to put an edge on it myself. Since i've seen varying comments in this regard, I thought this was an important note. Since the steel is hard (it's not 1095 but it's definitely more work to put an edge on this then on a 440) I was hoping for a sharper blade out of the box. Maybe just put it to a fine stone or strop before going into the field. Either way, it is far superior to anything i've owned/tried in this price range so no stars removed and again exceeds expectations for the price. But this is going to need a little more work now, to make it more durable for real world use. That being said I enjoy sharpening blades and for 40 dollars this is the best knife I have ever handled in the sub 100.00 category. Throw in a free, very nice leather sheath and I can tell you right now i'll be ordering another one as a backup. A great beginner knife for sure, and with some TLC and a little time invested it looks like this can easily become my main carry. If it turns out it will indeed take a long lasting edge after putting in some work on the blade this will definitely replace my main carry knife for in the field here in the Rocky Mountains. This knife really does put to shame any other in this price range with similar attributes.

best buy for a woods knife ever
Purchased through Amazon for $30.35 with free shipping. The Condor Bushlore knife is a rough copy of one that Ray Mears had custom made by a smith in Sweden. The pattern seems to be ubiquitous in ‘bush craft’ knives made by other companies. I purchased this knife to replace a Helle ‘Symphoni’ which was a pretty darn good woods knife, but just not thick enough for my taste. My wife had been eyeballing the Helle because of its curly birch handle anyway, so I saw my chance and she happily approved the purchase. The blade length is 4 5/16” with a thickness of 1/8”. It has a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58, a blasted satin finish and an overall length of 9 5/16”. One side of the blade is stamped “El Salvador” and the other with the company name. Both stampings are modest in size. The grind resembles the much vaunted ‘Scandi’ or Scandinavian type and runs about 3/8” wide. The grind goes nearly all the way from the tip to the handle where it leaves a ricasso of about 3/16”. It has a drop point profile that very nearly resembles a spear point so the point is at the center of the blade. The knife has a full tang, which is a must for me. The very dense and dark colored wood used for the scales is simply described as, “hardwood” in the catalogue. The scales are attached with two 3/16” brass pins and the handle has a brass lined lanyard hole 1/4” from the end. The sheath was a disappointment though, but not because of any defect. I was a little let down that there was absolutely no reason to make a new one, which I often do when I acquire a knife. The leather on the sheath is heavy and the welt is thick enough to more than accommodate the blade and protect the stitching, which is tight and runs between 4 and 5 stitches per inch. The coffee colored leather is riveted top and bottom with good quality, silver colored rivets, not the cheap ones with the hole in the back. The sheath is stamped with a Condor logo about the size of a thumbprint and holds the knife in a solid grip by friction. This last feature is important to me because I prefer not to have a retaining strap on what I call my “handy” knives. I like being able to simply reach for it and pull it out. For that reason I prefer to have a sheath that is form fitted, tight, and deep enough to hold at least the lower third of the handle, that ensures the knife won’t fall out on its own, the Bushlore’s sheath goes up the handle about half way. The Condor Bushlore knife is made of 1075 carbon steel, which seems to be a standard offering in the Condor line and came out of the box, literally, shaving sharp. That’s no real feat nowadays since I’ve seen $8.00 Pakistani “survival” knives do the same. This one though, unlike the Pakistani and Chinese offerings, held an edge. After carving out a spoon, a figure four trapping trigger, half a dozen fuzz sticks and batoning several pieces of 3” ash the edge was still sharp enough to do more. It only took a few strokes on an Arkansas fine stone to return it to shaving sharp. The edge, after examination with a 20X magnifying lens, appeared to take the use and abuse without bending, chipping, or cracking. All in all, I’ve got to say that I’m very pleased with this knife. It’s a solid tool and I’d be comfortable with it anywhere. While this knife is a straightforward affair without any fancy embellishments, I’d gladly take it, over some other knives that I’ve owned and used that cost four and five times as much. As far as the company is concerned, there are posts in forums elsewhere, describing its location, history &c. An item of great interest to me with any company I do business with is consumer relations and from my experience, CTK is very responsive. For example, I had a concern about their Claw Shovel that I purchased and was contacted within hours, via an email from Condor’s National Sales Manager, Richard Jones, who requested my shipping address so they could ship me a replacement. The improvements that Condor has made over the years to this specific knife are in direct response to concerns expressed by the “Bushcrafting community” ( boy I hate that word ‘community’ but it’s so useful), such as fit and finish of the scales. More impressive to me though, they changed both the grind of the blade and its thickness, in response to customer input. Just a final note, this company is not going to stay in the bush-leagues, if you’ll pardon the pun. I suspect that as word travels, they will gain a well-deserved reputation for quality products, then prices will go up with demand, just like a lot of other companies have done. I intend to keep them on my buy-from list and avoid the price hikes.

Zuerst drei Worte warum das Messer Nessmuk Messer heißt. Nessmuk war der Schriftsteller und Spitzname von Goerge Washington Sears, einem frühen Waldläufer, Journalisten und Buchautor der von 1821 bis 1890 gelebt hat. Wie auch immer, Nessmuk war ein sehr kleiner Mann, mit wenig Körpergewicht, der dadurch gezwungen war, mit wenig Gepäck auszukommen da er mehr nicht tragen konnte. Er schuf das sogenannte Nessmuk Trio, bestehend aus dem Nessmuk Messer, einem kleinen doppelschneidigen Handbeil und einem Taschenmesser mit zwei Klingen. Diese Kombination ist bis heute vernünftig, da damit für die unterschiedlichen Arbeiten von Grob bis Fein das geeignete Werkzeug zur Verfügung steht. Gleichzeitig ist bei Verlust eines Teiles nicht alles verloren. Das Nessmuk Messer was da liebevoll von Condor nachgebaut wird, entspricht optisch ziemlich genau den Zeichnungen aus Nessmuks Buch. Das Original dürfte allerdings eine etwas dünnere Klinge gehabt haben. Aber genug von Nessmuk. Das Messer ist sehr sauber gearbeitet, Griff absolut perfekt eingepasst und die Klinge scharf und ordentlich geschliffen, also symmetrisch und sauber. Absolut nichts zu meckern. Die Nieten sind ordentlich versenkt, nicht steht vor oder ist rau. Damit ist es ein echter Handschmeichler und sehr ergonomisch und liegt gut und relativ schwer für seine Größe in der Hand. Es eignet sich für alle gängigen Arbeiten im Camping Bereich und leichte Holzarbeiten sind damit auch möglich ohne für alles das Beil bemühen zu müssen. Durch die Klingenlänge sind da allerdings Grenzen gesetzt. Durch die Buckelform kann man den Daumen sehr fest auf den Messerrücken aufbringen und damit enormen Druck auf die Klinge ausüben. Der Buckel an sich hilft, wenn man das Messer mit einem Holzknüppel in anderes Holz treiben will (Batoning). Hier hilft auch der ballige Anschliff, weil sich dadurch sehr gut Holz spalten lässt, ohne dass das Messer stecken bleibt. Feuerholz und Feahtersticks herstellen, Holzstangen schneiden und Schnitzarbeiten gehen gut damit. Ganz nach hinten am Griff genommen, kann man sogar leichte Hackarbeiten damit ausführen. Alles in natürlichen Grenzen, denn es ist ja kein sehr großes Messer. Reicht aber um sich im Wald zu behelfen, wenn man kein Beil dabei hat. Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhorn, aber es klappt. Die Klinge hat dabei keinerlei Schaden genommen, ist also durchaus robust. Die Lederscheide ist wie von Condor gewohnt wieder mal enorm hochwertig und das Messer passt gut und rutscht nicht raus. Allerdings scheint die Scheide nicht speziell für dieses Messer gemacht zu sein, sondern dient vermutlich auch anderen Modellen als Scheide. Aber das empfinde ich nicht als störend, wenn auch das Messer dadurch in der Scheide durchaus martialischer wirkt, als es eigentlich ist. Ein handliches praktisches robustes Messer für unterwegs…Kaufempfehlung von mir.

por su tamaño, por la calidad, por el diseño clásico y por su funda, es un lujo para grandes y chicos. Mis hijas son pequeñas y no dejan su cuchillo "el salvador" en ninguna salida de aventuras.

Super Messer! Definitiv robust super Verarbeitet Fulltang! Aber! Leider ist die Klinge nicht wirklich scharf! Mit einem Fällkniven DC4 6x über jede Seite gezogen und am Leder poliert und es ist rasiermesserscharf was am guten Carbonstahl liegt! Leider riecht die Lederscheide stark nach Chemie die sollte man definitiv Ausgaben lassen an der frischen Luft. Würde ich das Messer wieder kaufen? Ganz klar JA!!!! TOP Verarbeitet und leigt super in Meier Hand (11er Größe) ich bin in dieses Messer verliebt nicht nur allein der Qualität wegen sondern auch wegen der guten Ergonomie und Griffigkeit. Man sollte aber bedenken es ist ein 3 Fingermesser! Ich nutze es als Backup Messer im Bushcraft, Survival und EDC! Feuerstahl anreißen ist gegeben auch Batoning ist dank der 3mm Klinge machbar! Kurz klare Kaufempfehlung, super Preis Leitung top Verarbeitung!

Das Condor Bushlore kommt sauber verpackt inkl. kurzer Anleitung (Stahl nicht rostfrei - bitte ölen) in einer schlichten Kartonverpackung inkl. Lederscheide. Besonders ins Auge fällt die sehr gute Verarbeitung der sehr stabilen Lederscheide mit Condor Prägung. Beim Messer selbst sieht man, dass es handgemacht ist. Es ist nicht gut, aber nicht pefekt verarbeitet. Der Schliff der Klinge wurde eindeutig manuell ausgeführt. Das Messer wird scharf geschliffen geliefert, allerdings nicht super scharf. Da muss man mit entsprechenden Schleifwerkzeug und Abziehleder selbst nachhelfen. Der Stahl ist sehr gut gehärtet und läßt sich gut schleifen - rasiermesserscharf. Kohlenstoffstahl ist dafür besonders gut geeignet. Das Messer bleibt lange scharf. Die Griffschalen sind etwas rauer verarbeitet und die Messingnieten stehen minimal (geschätzt 0,1 mm) über den Griffschalen. Das ist für den Preis des Messers OK - ich werde aber noch mit feinem Schleifpapier nachhelfen und danach das Holz wieder mit Öl versiegeln und wasserfester machen. Insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden und das Messer hat ein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Ich habe vor es vor jagdlich zu führen und für die notwendigen Arbeiten zum Versorgen des Wildes damit erledigen.
