Though the prices have increased in comparison to the materials used (here in Australia). I did love Condor (still have a few) when they first came onto the scene.
Literally every knife & tool Co. has raised their prices, significantly! It’s absolutely everywhere! And it’s allowing the Chinese Companies to slide in, more and more. Sucks
I always love seeing what Condor has.It’s such a relief seeing new knives that don’t look like they came from a gas station or the back of a smoky mountain knife works catalog
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I gave a lot of thought, time and effort into designing an (optimal as possible) EDC blade while still being versatile enough to be used in places one sometimes unfortunately finds himself. The Serbian Design Principle, per se, haha.
There is no better knife interview on this planet than Joe Flowers. I would do just about anything to go on a camping trip with that guy. DCA could tag along if he wanted.
Joe Flowers is the best. Only having him in vids a couple times a year is a crime. Also stoked to see it looks like Condor’s QC has improved 👍🏻 Edit: As a lefty, THANK YOU Jason Breeden lol
This video made me very happy! I love DCA; I love Joe Flowers, I love Condor/Imacasa and I love El Salvador and Nayib Bukele. I love 1075 and 1095 steel. Hell, I even love Serbs. Joe makes me proud to be an alumnus of the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I hope to travel to Colombia with Bushcraft Global soon.
@Joe Flowers , I still have, use and appreciate the Corona El Salvador machete I won in one of your Bladeforums W&S give aways probably 10 or 12 years ago. Thank you for continuing to lend your blade knowledge to our hobby/sport/livelihood/adventures.
I think for alot of ppl...myself included...... we want our outdoor knives to be able to do alot of different things but do it well in all aspects of it!!!!!hats off to condor..... these get me very excited for the years new line up
Joe Of The Jungle sittin down (er.. swingin around steel) with DCA is always the highlight of SHOT Show! We need a part 2 to this video.. or maybe a quick short sneaking up on Joe mid antics. #DCAgang #JoefloCrew
Question for the next KniFAQ: How would you define a saber grind and what are common mistakes people make when identifying them? (You had to see this one coming!)
I love Joe flowers. I have the Headstrong as a hunting knife and the Scottish Argyll Falchion as well. I love their stuff and it isn't too expensive. Sheaths are super good quality.
I don't own any condor stuff, and can't see that changing as I just don't have the need, but I love Joe flowers. His enthusiasm and excitement is fantastic.
Joe Flowers is always one of my favorite parts of Shot Show! So much passion for the brand and all the products and he's great in front of the camera. Always gets me pumped to buy more Condor!
One of the most wonderful designs is the Condor Bushlore. But I wished it had no finger guard / hand in front of the index finger. The Trivittata seems amazing, almost like a Skookum Bushtool, but I wished it had a palm swell similar to the Condor Bushlore.
Joe is just... how can you not like that guy! I got a Selknam from Condor. Loved the sheath, but the grind was asymmetrical. I returned it for a replacement. Same issue. Returned it to Condor direct, for another replacement, same issue, but less pronounced. On one hand, I was frustrated and annoyed that the knife isn't perfect. But I decided it was close enough that, since I otherwise loved the knife and the amazing sheath, I'd keep it and tell myself the asymmetricality was just "character". If you don't examine it closely, or put the blade on a flat surface, you won't notice it. And it's otherwise a *really* good-looking knife.
I really want to like Condor but I’ve had bad experiences with probably 75% of the things I’ve bought. I’m still waiting for a response from them about my woodbuster scales falling off.
Yes, Condor. Always a highlight … Mr. Flowers. Joe … you are using a machete the whole morning? In Las Vegas? Okaaayyyy 🤙 I bring 50 pounds of machetes. That’s the spirit 💪🏻
Nice designs. I have a few blades from condor and some I love, but my biggest gripe is the price doesn't add up for the lack of quality control. The attention to detail is hit or miss with condor
I have a few small Condor pieces and I love so many of their knives but have absolutely no use for them... Having stainless options is a big plus as I can use them in the daily kitchen then. Mr. Flowers was rather calm and tranquil today; no coffee? Is he everyone's favorite knife guest?
Hey Joe not sure if you're in comments (or if someone else can help me) but what would you recommend for a machette from your line for use in Southeastern Australia? We tend to have very hard, dry, resiny wood, it's famous for trashing edges and breaking blades. Hoping Condor can help!
@Craig Dendy Awesome, good to know thanks. Probably something around 24", I don't have a huge amount of machete experience but that seems like about right in my head.
Glad to see them using more micarta and polymer for handles and more polymer sheaths. Just not a big wood and leather guy, I guess. The Machetesaur looks GREAT!
Always looking forward to Joe at knife shows - also because of the knives ; ) I have seen the Serbian kitchen knife for years on AlmazanKitchen here on UA-cam and always wanted to get one... maybe now is the time.
![Cleaver Restoration [Black Cleaver With Ebony Handle]](/img/n.gif)
It’s the best part of Shot Show!
The Joe Show!
The most enthusiastic part of anyone’s library of Knife Reviews!
I always look forward to his presentations!
I should get a machete to open letters in the office. The Burmese Hunter looks about right.
joe is unstoppable. he's so excited to show everything off as fast as possible
It’s magic mushrooms! As hyper as he is he’s gotta be gettin something from the jungle. He’s a hoot to watch. He knows his stuff too.
I love how he's a huge fan of carbon steel because carbon steel awesome plus everybody Love's a patina to show off their skills
Gotta love a bunch of fixed blades in 1095
I love that condor is always innovating and trying new things. They seem to become a better company with better products each year.
Though the prices have increased in comparison to the materials used (here in Australia). I did love Condor (still have a few) when they first came onto the scene.
Condor was a company that sold decent knives at good prices. They’ve gone from 1095 to 1085 $ 1075 and doubled their prices. Pass.
@@donalddicorcia2433 Glad im not the only one 👍🏻
Literally every knife & tool Co. has raised their prices, significantly! It’s absolutely everywhere! And it’s allowing the Chinese Companies to slide in, more and more. Sucks
They have one of the best sales guys in the industry, I hope they take care of Joe.
I always love seeing what Condor has.It’s such a relief seeing new knives that don’t look like they came from a gas station or the back of a smoky mountain knife works catalog
Joe is always a great interview! Such an awesome guy!
Love the look of that Zhaoka Knife for an edc fixed blade
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I gave a lot of thought, time and effort into designing an (optimal as possible) EDC blade while still being versatile enough to be used in places one sometimes unfortunately finds himself. The Serbian Design Principle, per se, haha.
Joe Flowers is always by far the best part of these shows. 🌻
I look forward to see Joe also. Been following him for quite a few years.
His enthusiasm about blades is awesome !
KnifeCenter's vids with Joe Flowers and DCA together are my favorite.
Joe seems like such a great guy, he's just a big kid and his enthusiasm for what he does is awesome, I'd love to hang out with him for a day
Great interview. Always a joy to listen to Joe.
There is no better knife interview on this planet than Joe Flowers. I would do just about anything to go on a camping trip with that guy. DCA could tag along if he wanted.
He’s literally the next generation, Lynn Thompson!
@@powersww1reset lol yeah but I actually believe the things Joe says he's done with his knives
Joe Flowers is the best. Only having him in vids a couple times a year is a crime. Also stoked to see it looks like Condor’s QC has improved 👍🏻
Edit: As a lefty, THANK YOU Jason Breeden lol
Ditto

Jason seems like good people. I liked his style of blades and handles as well. Thanks for the video.
Love his enthusiasm. Condor do some decent stuff for the money. Happy to hear they are starting to work with 14C28N that is a great steel.

I love Condor tools. Great customer service!!!
I could watch hours of these two! I love Joe and DCA together!
I'm already in love with that machete Joe Flowers had. 😍
I imagine Joe Flowers just cruising through the woods of El Salvador like a real life Tom Bombadil. Super happy, and yet unstoppable and deadly 🤣
Condor really making some amazing knives that you can count on
Joe's enthusiasm is so infectious - dude loves his job(s)!

That second guy in the checked shirt has some nice design ideas.
Joe is awesome. I always enjoy him in your videos

(You had to see this one coming!)
I love Joe flowers. I have the Headstrong as a hunting knife and the Scottish Argyll Falchion as well. I love their stuff and it isn't too expensive. Sheaths are super good quality.
I was really hoping for a close up of the backwoods machete, but after seeing the knife I know I'll love it.
It definitely looks intriguing, back there on the display rack!
Appreciate David and Mr flowers a lot
I love Condor Knives. Condor's Beetle Neck Knife is one of my EDCs.
Glad to see the polypro sheaths, that's a useful improvement
I don't own any condor stuff, and can't see that changing as I just don't have the need, but I love Joe flowers. His enthusiasm and excitement is fantastic.
I love condor 👍🏻
The Burmese Hunter is NEXT on my list for my growing Condor collection. Love my Hurons and my Jungolo so far!
That country backroads machete, in the background on the display table, looks awesome! Wish we could’ve had a closeup of that beauty!
Gotta love Condor!! Love everything they do.
I'll always love my Greenland hatchet........ never go without it
Joe Flowers is always one of my favorite parts of Shot Show! So much passion for the brand and all the products and he's great in front of the camera. Always gets me pumped to buy more Condor!
I'm digging the copper pins! Still waiting for my canyon carver in 14C28N
1095 is still my favorite
The world is never prepared when these 2 get together
Everyone go to Shot Show just to see Joe Flowers..!! The man is a Living Legend.
Are the spines ground to 90°on any of these knives?
Love the chats with Joe. That guys is a little bit crazy, but the knife designs are fantastic!
One of the most wonderful designs is the Condor Bushlore. But I wished it had no finger guard / hand in front of the index finger. The Trivittata seems amazing, almost like a Skookum Bushtool, but I wished it had a palm swell similar to the Condor Bushlore.
Finally, finally, Condor put out a smatchet-esque blade!
"You need to get a patch...and some pins...".
Love my Condor knives!
Joe is just... how can you not like that guy!
I got a Selknam from Condor. Loved the sheath, but the grind was asymmetrical. I returned it for a replacement. Same issue. Returned it to Condor direct, for another replacement, same issue, but less pronounced.

If you don't examine it closely, or put the blade on a flat surface, you won't notice it. And it's otherwise a *really* good-looking knife.
Condor is probably in my top three favorite knife manufacturer's. Joe Flowers is what makes Condor
I like that Country Backroads knife. Will that be in Sanvik steel?
DCA rocking the old Seiko tuna can. Nice. 👍
So many great designs
I really want to like Condor but I’ve had bad experiences with probably 75% of the things I’ve bought. I’m still waiting for a response from them about my woodbuster scales falling off.
That first knife looks like a serial killers dream knife ....
I've been looking for a clever like that. Can't wait
Yes, Condor. Always a highlight … Mr. Flowers. Joe … you are using a machete the whole morning? In Las Vegas? Okaaayyyy 🤙 I bring 50 pounds of machetes. That’s the spirit 💪🏻
I always enjoy hearing from Joe Flowers.
The 2nd one is going to sell like crazy!!! I really dig that one and If I find it in Greece, I'll get it!!!
Condor has great customer service !
I geek out watching these 2 goats everytime. Great vid👍
Hey Knifecenter do you know when that Trivitata knife will be available at your store? Thanks for sharing!
Had to stop what I was doing and watch this right away when I saw y’all two together.
@8:50 as a Burmese knives fan I am so excited to hear the name of the knife
Nice designs. I have a few blades from condor and some I love, but my biggest gripe is the price doesn't add up for the lack of quality control. The attention to detail is hit or miss with condor
any chance of polymer sheaths being made for older models?
I have a few small Condor pieces and I love so many of their knives but have absolutely no use for them... Having stainless options is a big plus as I can use them in the daily kitchen then. Mr. Flowers was rather calm and tranquil today; no coffee? Is he everyone's favorite knife guest?

Wow, very different designs this year. Definitely picking up a few there
Glad to see them using more micarta and polymer for handles and more polymer sheaths. Just not a big wood and leather guy, I guess. The Machetesaur looks GREAT!
Knives knives knives. I love knives.
I need to order the terrachete machete. When is gonna be available?
Thank you condor for a stainless option. Good pick, too. Love the high grinds.
That backroads stuff is nice.
That's why I like Joe he is always excited about the blades. What a great guy.
DCA ROCKING THE TUNA!!! Nice choice brother
Always looking forward to Joe at knife shows - also because of the knives ; ) I have seen the Serbian kitchen knife for years on AlmazanKitchen here on UA-cam and always wanted to get one... maybe now is the time.
That dagger... wowza! Me likey.
Most interesting knives at this show!
I really hope that clever comes with a awesome leather sheath
Joe's energy is unmatched!
Always look forward to the Condor booth!
I love Serbian chef's knife, very slicey and handy. It is great that CONDOR is launching their version.
They seem like great people. Always a selling point when the people seem so genuine you want to buy from them
Joe Flowers & DCA talk knives - what's not to love!! Oh, and there there are some Condor knives on the table ...... Sharp blades all.
Zhaoka as EDC or small companion knife, my God... Such a cool blade!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and I am beyond humbled and proud that my design is being accepted by the Condor community! 🙏
Joe Is like a Gummi Bear on steroids! (80s cartoon reference)
Love me some Condor
I'm excited for a few of these
Always a real pleasure to see Joe :)
I dig the Trade Dag!
So many good knives now. Better materials, designs, etc al.
Bangers but the cord wrap I can do without.
That fighting knife looks like a BK-18 minnus the harpoon bit!
Well, I might be three weeks and three hundred dollars short but I really like that "Stinger" design as well as all of Jason's designs..
Burmese Hunter pricing and availability? Having trouble finding information on-line.
This makes me want to finally pick up a my first Condor which will be a sigrun.
Love the intro! Great video love Condor tool and knife
