I wanted to show some phots and a few quick impressions of the new Condor elegan, one of four neck knives now available (the other three being the Tangara, Windfang, and Bush Buddy).
The elegan is made of 1075 carbon steel and has a black anti-rust finish. It's 5-3/16" long and has a blade of 2-1/16". The blade is 1/8" thick. It comes with a black Kydex sheath and a black bead chain for neck carry. The cord wrap shown isn't included.
I should also point out that the edge comes convex ground, but I backed the edge up quite a bit. The photos show my rough work; the Elegan's edge comes polished from the factory.
The Kydex sheath is perfect; not too tight and not too loose. I just added some gutted 550 cord for belt attachment.
With a Kabar Eskabar for size reference...
Out of the box, it was very sharp.
With a Victorinox Manager for size reference...
With a street price of $19, it makes a great addition to a small survival kit.
Full review coming soon.
