Condor Selknam Knife: Some Things I Like, Some Not So Much - Survival, Bushcraft, Outdoor Knife

The Selknam from Condor Took and Knife is a medium-sized survival and outdoors knife. This thing reminds of the BK-2 from Ka-Bar, but a little smaller. Overall, this knife did all the tasks I needed it to but the location of the handle relative to the blade and then also the grind/sharpness were an issue for me. I"ll take the Crotalus over this one - but let me know what you think of it.

    I own this knife. I like the knife. I'm not some city soft hand wimp. Instead of a stone, carry a few sheets of 2500 grit sandpaper. Best to sharpen this blade. And it works great in sub freezing temperatures up here above the Arctic Circle. Want to test your favorite knife? Come up to Northern Alaska in mid winter. Most blades shatter quickly below -70°. This one does not. Of course, I disagree with almost everything this soft handed hooman said

    I've seen this knife up close. They do a very rough job on the grinding, with only the last quarter inch or so being truly convex, making for a rather obtuse edge. That along with the other details you point out make it a no-go for me.

    Nice review. 👍🏻 I’ve been adding flint strikers to my sheaths longer than I’ve been adding ferro rods. It’s nice to see a company doing it. But I haven’t seen anyone actually using this steel. Does it work? It looks rather thin, but it would be easy enough to replace.
