Hey guys I've been looking to get either the mora 2 or the condor bushcraft basic they are around the same price but I'm not sure wich one I should get. Anyone have experience with the condor I know it's full tang and an comes with a good sheath but I know I mite have too work on it to make it a good knife wile the mora comes useable out of the box but crappy sheath and only a stick/rat-tail tang anyone's input would be great thanks :)
 
If you want a Condor, get the Bushlore. You can choose wood or Mircata (go for Mircata), and the handle has a better handle IMO, as well as a slightly safer design (less likely to do the slide forward onto the blade maneuver), and a nicer blade shape. The wood handle version is only a couple of bucks more than the basic.
 
I have the Condor and a Mora. The Condor is a nice knife, it is pretty thin so good for cutting and slicing and stuff. But still thick enough for a bit of battoning, prying if you so desire. I think it is a very good knife to use around a camp fire to do small chores.

The Mora is much thinner even and it flexes. (seriously, I can bend it using just my hands) I feel the Mora is only for cutting and slicing. It feels like an extremely cheap knife (and it is off course). It cuts and slices extremely well though.

The Mora is meant for much lighter tasks then the Condor but does those tasks much better. I much prefer the Condor because it's more an all rounder and I really don't like the looks and flexibility of the Mora.
 
The Condor is a more substantial knife and built a bit tougher. Moras are light and great if you know how to use them, but cannot take the same level of abuse as the Condor Bushlore. My Condor is as sharp as my Mora and both are great knives, but I find myself caring the Condor more often than my Mora #1.
