This is a Bushlore fixed blade knife made by Condor.
Blade length is about 4.24” and overall length is about 9.5”. It has a full tang and the spine is about .125”.
I comes with a beautiful leather case. I’ve included the Enlan EL-01D and the SRM 909 for size comparisions.
The steel is high carbon for a longer lasting edge (does require wiping however). Out of the box it was only moderately sharp. I sharpened it to hair shaving sharp however.
The handle is walnut, it has a hold for a lanyard. I did a brief test out in the backyard regarding it’s ability to split wood while being battoned. No problems there.
This knife was purchased here in the U.S. for $33 including shipping.
It has a scandi grind and some sort of blade lamination over the non-grind part…presumable to help prevent rust.
The ergonomics of the handle are good. I touched it up a bit with a light wipe of olive oil.
You can see the Condor name embossed on one side of the blade with El Salvador on the other side.
This knife seems to be a very good deal for the price.
Your picture has very wide white borders left and right, it's not the BLF picture management... it's the picture itself being this small. Try to crop it in a picture manipulation program.... but the resolution is also kind of low. Are you sure that you took the picture itself and not some thumbnail or preview?
Maybe it's that picture service you use? Maybe they use a fixed aspect ratio background as a template, because they also do photo books?.... I'm not sure.
JohnnyMac, yes, it does look like that. The steel is hard and it wasn’t sharp enough so I went overboard on the rough stage. I did use the fine stone and stropped it but I’ll go back and do more in that regard.
I just wanted to get it hair shaving sharp and I eventually did! I also used it as a wedge and battoned it to split a piece of wood.
The Scandi grind also means there is a larger ground area to reflect edges.
It also has a large grey laminated area of the blade which I have now mostly managed to sand off. It looks better to me without it.
I’m going to do some more polishing over time but I may attach another newer photo now so that you can see the changes.
