Been testing the Condor Aqualore out. It is an excellent bushcrafting option. Specs below from online. The grind came nice and even with a sharp edge and it polished up nicely. The scandi grind bites into wood like one would expect, very well, ha.
I love that it is stainless for wet environments and I understand 14C28N is pretty tough. I have Mora Garberg with the same steel. The handle on this knife is very comfortable. Seems like most of the Condor knives are made with carbon steels (1075 or 1095); I have a number of them, so it is nice to have the stainless option. After making feathersticks and some batoning (probably about 15 of the size pieces shown below), a little stropping took it right back to razor sharp.
The sheath, which is kydex, has nice retention and very comfortable thumb push.
