Following some delivery problems with a retailer (which I won't bore you with) they sent me a Condor Bushlore by way of apology.
The first thing that struck me was the weight of the knife. Weighing in at around 175g without the sheath and 240g including the sheath, it is certainly quite a brute. The second thing I noticed was that it was as blunt as old boots - fresh out of the box it wouldn't even cut paracord!
However, after 30 mins or so sharpening, it now has a decent edge and I actually quite like it. It has a good thick, full tang and the handle feels reassuring solid. I'm not sure exactly what wood it is, but apparently it is a South American hard wood similar to hickory. The sheath is reasonably well made of very thick leather. I can't see myself ever using the knife for any fine or delicate work, but when brute force is needed, I will certainly be reaching for my Bushlore.
It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it is excellent value at £25.95 (as long as you don't mind putting in a bit of elbow grease to get an edge on the blade!)
