Condor Bushlore hybrid?

[sharpshooter25]

hey guys
i have just recived my condor bushlore form Heinnie Haynes, and when i was opening the package to my shock i thought i had recieved the older model because of the thick stock

after removing the blade cover thingy i found that it had been ground right the way to the handle, i am pleased with this because ive got the full thick stock and a scandi edge,

has anyone else seen this,

pics will be up later on
many thanks
Dan

Those scales look bloomin uneven lad. I'd get some wet n' dry on that sharpish!

i was going to sand them but i found out that it was actually quite a nice grip, it isnt the best finished handle in the world, but i prefer my tools to be a bit rough then im not afraid to use them

Loving those photos. Most photos of knives on here are taken on a random bit of reindeer fur, maybe set on a length of driftwood that's no doubt lying in the back garden with a bit of freshly prepared chunk of Tesco meat.
All looking dead bushcrafty and serious.

Taking the photo of your new (and quite nice) knife on a dotty sofa gives it a touch of realism.

Agreed, but having a knife that seemingly needs mains charging isn't much use in the woods.

thanks for all the comments, so far i am really liking the 1075 steel, i have used it for alot of carving and all it has ever seen is a strop, no stones have touched this blade

Really liking that knife now they've addressed the issues of the older design. How goods the scandi grind on it? Sharp right out the box?

 

[redandshane]

Is it just me or have they addressed the issue in this case just by regrinding the old knives i.e the E in El Salvador has been ground out in the process ?

This would mean that the thicker stock knives with that longer edge are limited in availability as the new version is thinner I believe, still potentially good value at the price

out of the box the edge was decent but about 5 minutes on a strop and it was shaving sharp, and yes i think they have just re ground an older model, which for me i don't mind, more steel for the money!!!!

Can't say it'd bother me either! Thanks for the reply to the question as well

I reground my older model, and it looks just like that- with the missing 'E'. That's a collectors item right there!
