Just recieved this so I havent had much of a chance to work it yet, But its a neat neck knife. For under $20 bucks its got a different feel than all my other neck knives. Im anxious to get it out and give it a little use and see how that thin handle works may have to wrap it a little or something... Anybody else get one of these yet? I posted some side by side pics to get a comparison whatcha guys think?? - Joel

Looks cool! I've been waiting for somebody to post a review of that model. Let us know how it does for you! :cool::thumbup:
 
different than traditional condors, though from the looks of it I like it alot. This one is on the cheapie short list-next time someone has free shipping I'll pick one up so that I don't pay more for the shipping than I do for the blade.
 
Boy Condor seems to really be watching the market and stepping up to the plate with new affordable stuff that folks actually want.

Neat looking blade.

Messed around with it a little bit yesterday and today. The handle is a bit on the thin side so with any super heavy work it wanted to twist in my hand a little, Really hard to get a good grip on. Not really the ammount of handle like the becker or izula. Very nice for the finer things, and smaller work, I almost prefer the blade shape. The blade edge is a little on the fat side if that makes any sense? Making it a little shy of a razor. Just my 2 cents but Im not sending it back LOL- Joel

Perhaps you could put a few notches along the handle to help secure a decent cord wraped handle?

Hung, I cannot say I disagree with you. If you were just doing fine work, maybe skinning small animals or preping food you may be fine but the more I use it, its a long cry from a izula and some others Ive used:D - Joel
 
dammm looks rugged lol that is some Indiana jones 5:00 shadow sh8!! hopefully it has a good edge it would be a heart breaker to re profile over that finish. cant wait to hear the verdict. my neck knife has taken a beating lateily and i might have to retire it if it works as good as it looks

The Elegan is probably a bit more comfortable, though it's small also. I haven't gotten to handle a Bush Buddy, but the Elegan I got to handle was nice for an ultra-compact fixed blade. I, too, would like to see some larger renditions, though. :o
