    Mr. Tanner just would like to thank you personally for your channel its content and what it has done to change my life . Back in 2008 I was a industrial painter and I loved my job , but on October 4th of 2008 everything changed when a load of metal elevator doors tipped over on me I tried to stop them but the weight was to much and it slammed over on me and I woke up on the ground in a pile of metal. I was in the hospital for a week . Well just over 10 years and 3 surgeries later I've gotten 12 fusions 2 bars 1 plate and about 40 screws in my neck down to in between my shoulder blades . I used to play sports and I was in martial arts but that all changed . I felt useless and I didn't know what to do , but in 2015 I found your channel and I got the " sickness " and started getting starter pocket knives .Then in October 2018 came and I got a little blade called JX5 The Vengeful One ! Then a miracle happened in December and SMKW found a cache of the last ever produced Jessica X's and I snapped up one for me and one for my brother , I felt like I won the lottery . I now am in the process of saving for JX4 Bushbat . I now get outside and have passion in my life once again . I don't know if I should thank you or ask you where I can get counciling cause this is getting serious , when I shop for knives I get sweaty thats how bad I got it ! But seriously thanks for PM 101 and all your knives , in my life it really made a difference so Thank You.

    Had my eye on this knife for some time now and been waiting for someone to finally do a review of it, I definitely think it has solid potential and you always do a great thorough review

    I like condor , I have a couple of their products and they are really high quality,
    thank you for the opportunity!

  • @jamesmcgowan9293
    @jamesmcgowan9293 5 років тому +1

    Your review is spot on for this knife. I bought one in December and had to regrind the blade to thin out the edge . My sheath was also stiff and felt dry, so I treated it with mink oil and it came out great. After those tweaks I'm really happy with this knife .Cheers from snowy and cold Ontario ;)

    Your sooooo real to this day and that's refreshing. I really like the depth of the blade. It gives me the feeling it's bullet proof and would last forever. Thanks much for your hard work and dedication. Blessings to you and your family 😇 🇺🇸

    Hats off to SMKW and yourself for showcasing this knife, I would glady accept the challenge of seeing what I could do with hand sharpening this blade. Yes it's been very rainy here in the Buckeye State, something like 20 days it hasnt rained since Christmas.

  • @neckredgringo5372
    @neckredgringo5372 5 років тому +1

    I like that blade, and the entire package is well thought out. This is the one that I was wondering about out of shot show. Wouldn't have know about the grind from seeing images. Thanks for the continuous content and giving people the opportunity to win some blades. Great work Chris

  • @scotthill6807
    @scotthill6807 5 років тому +3

    Condor is stepping up their game. I don't mind 1075 at all, I just carry a small ceramic rod for sharpening. Very nice sheath. Thanks for the review and GAW.

  • @sonik382
    @sonik382 5 років тому

    Thanks for the review Chris...I am a subscriber of yours since the very beginning but never left a comment...I really appreciate what you do showing us all of those products. Condor is actually improving a lot their lineup, but they still have issues with convex grinds...I had an HD Kukri and sold it because it has a really bad convex on it. This knife looks amazing to me... really a beauty. Nice job Condor, keep listening to the customers and just sharpen those beauties a bit more!

  • @hervue85

    @survivalofthefittest409 5 років тому

    Your channel is actually the first ive seen of that knife.
    I dont own a Condor, but that is actually one im actually pretty excited about!
    Its got *alot* of features i like, one being that pommel. I *hate* spike pommels, and *love* hammer pommels like that.
    The design overall i dig, but i would thin out the edge, i could see exactly what you were talking about,
    too thick/too steep, so i'd have to fix that out...but 1095 loves to be tweaked.
    Very cool GAW, count me in and thanks!
    As far as other Condor knives. I am kinda interested in seeing those "Terasour" knives up against some Mora's,
    sense they are obviously very similar, and seeing what is the better option (within objective standards).
    Anywho, good stuff man.

    Condor is ALWAYS moving forward!! I gone through 8 Bushlores over the last 2 years (Huuuuge bang for the buck knife), I buy them used(but are like new) off the forums for $30 ish. Then I'm camping or fishing and a kid of our family is running around without a knife(boy or girl), so I give them a Bushlore(I don't ask the parents, lol)!!!!!!!!!!!! I get to teach them sharpening too!!! I dig the handle, looks like Micarta.
    I still have my Huron(sweet blade too.) I'll be looking for a used(but new Selknam) starting NOW. Big thank you for the vid!!!! I just found a used(but new) LT Wright Genesis A2 for just over $100(A2 no longer the hotness like 3v), so my budget is wrarped until summer, but I'm still searching for more used Condor's.
    I don't have a worksharp, but see one in my future, a mini tool that thinks it's huge.

  • @duanelarson2560
    @duanelarson2560 5 років тому

    Excellent review!... You've sold me. I own two Condors (upon your recommendation) and the Selk-nam would fit right in between them and my $20 Jess X. I'm sure I could 'tweak' the edge up to acceptable slicing sharpness! Would like to see an a review on the new Compact Kephart. Thanks, Chris!

    @matthewtilley7224 5 років тому

    I picked up a condor low drag a couple months ago. Fantastic large camp knife/survival knife/light chopper for the money. I personally removed the clear coating they put on it to resist corrosion and made forced patina. Great handle ergos and tough as nails
