I need a new bushcraft knife.

I dont know how good they are but Marttini makes a more handsome Scandi than mora.Disregard. You want full tang I dont think the Martinnis are.

I will make you one, wait time is 4-6 weeks. The knife will be made using cpm3v 5/32 thick steel. Blade length will be 5 inches with a scandi grind, full tang. Natural Canvas Micarta scales with loveless bolts. Kydex sheath set up for a large tek-lok. Price 160.00 shipped in the USA, no money down, I'll send pictures when it's done. If your interested send me a pm.

You rang? :D

I actually just got some brand-spankin' new production Bushlores (both wood and micarta ones) early last week and they've knocked it out of the park with the quality on them. They seem to have finally switched from a convex saber grind to a true scandi with microbevel. And they have the best grinds I've seen out of 'em yet.

just ordered the mini bushlore from you....im looking forward to it and seeing more of Condors products
 
Very good! As a heads-up the grind on that one is a thin slight convex rather than the aforementioned true scandi that the full sized ones I received exhibit. However, the edge is a very good one and should do well for you. Just don't want you to be expecting a scandi. Providing everything still sounds good it'll go out to you first thing tomorrow! :):thumbup:

sounds good to me. looking forward to it....it should make for a great "walkabout" knife when im at the farm.
 
That it should! It's small enough, too, that you can run a cord through the belt loop and wear it as a neck knife or sling it over the shoulder. I often carry my Mora #333 machete in a simple cord baldric while doing chores on the homestead. :thumbup:
 
Try an Enzo Trapper or the larger Enzo Camper. Scandi grind in 01 steel!
I love my Trapper, going to buy a Camper next!

Trapper

The balance and handling on the Trapper is superb
3 1/2" blade is a little shorter than the standard 4" blade on most other knives
But it is absoulutely fine for me and is a very accurate knife in use
The handle is curved with a kick at the end, with an easy swell, so it is very comfortable to handle
Zero grind scandi very sharp
Mine seems to rust immediately. don't know why
I store the blade oiled and in newspaper in the sheath when I am not using it

It is a full tang puukko
The quality for the price, it is a winner


Camper

A well balanced longer 5" bladed knife

There is a lot of blade and it chops well and handles heavy tasks

The Scandi has a secondary grind, and is not a zero grind or a micro bevel
I guess they do it for worry of chipping the D2 when chopping
They say upfront that it is a secondry grind
I did not pay attention and had I , I might not have purchased it

It is a full tang Leuku
Again for the quality for the price, it is a winner
 
If you get the Enzo Camper go with 01 version over the D2.
I have two D2 knives (both folders) and two fixed blade 01 knives.
Oddly i find the D2 blemishes/rusts easier and is MUCH harder to sharpen than 01. D2 really doesn't impress me at all. I'd rather have regular old carbon steel over D2.
In contrast my Enzo Trapper and my Spyderco Bushcraft knife (both 01) are the sharpest knives i own, for me 01 seems to be about the best balance between edge holding and ease of sharpening.
 
As per the Briza website:
In the Enzo Camper both the D2 and the O1 are Ground: Scandi zero/ Micro bevel

I have many knives in D2 and I find them almost SS, and if they patina then it is a slow grey
D2 is much harder, so more difficult to sharpen, but holds an edge for considerably longer
 
The only thing I've ever found tricky about D2 is polishing it. I'm with the Bob Loveless school of thought on corrosion resistance in that to complete a knife it is to be brought to a glazed finish. That reduces the toe-hold for rust. Obviously it's not critical but if you want to tweak a blade to the best it can be then that's what you do. I've found that a chore with D2 whereas I usually find it quite cathartic. In terms of just sharpening it; I found little discernable difference. Modern abrasives walk straight through it......................Particular to the Enzo: D2 has the potential to have much better wear resistance than O1. To tap that we must consider the heat treatment. Enzo run their O1 at 58-59 whereas their D2 is 60-61. On that, I believe it would be completely unreasonable the hold that Enzo's O1 is in the same league at pure cutting tasks as their D2. As I see it their O1 offers three potential advantages, none of which are directly relevant to cutting ability. 1] ductility; if you beat on stuff with it rather than cut. 2] name tag; your own personal pattern of corrosion. 3] economy; no need to upgrade to modern abrasives.
 
42Blades had my Condor mini bushlore in my mailbox in a matter of days , so i beveled the edge, and swapped out the factory sheath for a sharp shooter pocket sheath. it has replaced the Buck 102 in my Maxpedition bag and now goes everywhere with me. so far all the use it has seen has been in the kitchen, but i will admit, im really liking this little knife.
