    I have made several purchases over the past year and have come to believe your word is good enough for me. Both the products you sell directly and those you recommend have never disappointed. From the BHK PLSK1, to the Pathfinder Fire Steel to the Rail Rider pants I've ordered...and everything in-between, all have surpassed my expectation. Rarely will I ever take the word of someone without skepticism. You are the exception to the rule Dave. For that I [and many] are appreciative. Thanks.

    My personal experience with Condor (own 5 of their products). Pros: Tough as nails. Low price. Awesome sheaths. Great edge retention. Well thought out designs. Cons: Inconsistent edge grinds. Every time. Nothing 30 minutes with a grinder and a stone won't fix, though, and at least it proves they are hand made, unlike every other knife in the price range. Overall: Some of the best knives out there. Been thinking about picking up one of their axes for a while, thanks for the review Dave.

    I am a big fan of Condor products... as a matter of fact I have had both these axes for over a year..I actually use my axes on an everyday basis. I use them for roughing wood carvings. and these axes hold an edge like no other.. I make my entire living carving wood so you can guess how important having a good axe is to me.

    I have several Condor kife and tool products and have had absolutely no issues with them. I have the woodcrafters axe, the Hudson Bay knife, and the engineers bolo machette on order to be delivered Monday. I didnt know you were going to carry their gear. Thew history of the Condor company is really impressive.

  • @donnya1000
    @donnya1000 12 лет назад

    I agree with other viewers about Condor quality. I only have one product, a machete, but it really impressed me, especially the awesome sheath that came with it and all at a very reasonable price.

    Just got the Scout Hatchet, not through Dave, and i can vouch for it. Great sheath, easy to sharpen, and a comfortable grip. Pared with my Condor Bushlore knife it makes an excellent kit!

    @Addicted2Archery 12 лет назад

    I have this axe and I love it. I discovered it on a trip to Pigeon Forge, Tn. I always stop in at Smokey Mtn. Knife Works and usually check out the lastest and greatest knives and multitools. I discovered the condors by accident and because of the price I had to try one. This is an great axe. I would recommend it to anyone.

  • @jakegti3
    @jakegti3 9 лет назад +10

    Let me tell you something cool dave, I just returned to Maine from a trip to the Great Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and I picked up a Condor Stratos knife while I was down there. Well, for the money honest to god its a competitor!! The people at Esee, Kabar and Topps better watch there butts because Condor is flying up the ranks. This knife takes a convexed edge like a razor and is built like a tank! For 42.00 out the door price, how can you argue with that! Condor even commented on my facebook to length after my positive review, thats a big plus in my book! Shows they got class and makes a regular joe like me want to buy more from them.

    • @chuckbrow66
      @chuckbrow66 9 лет назад +3

      I Love Condor's knives! I have the Hudson Bay, Rodan & Parang. All of them take a razors edge and they're tough as hell.

  • @TheBigAlMc
    @TheBigAlMc 12 лет назад

    Iv got the Double bit with 24" handle and its amaizing! My every day carry knife is the 5" basic bushcraft that I reground to a spear point, and I also have the Kukri. The condor line are great products and I will be getting more of there stuff in the future.

  • @snappydog357
    @snappydog357 12 лет назад

    We cut hedge rows for fence posts and we kept everything else for firewood. I grew up and cut my teeth on nothing but hedge (10 years of it). That stuff is some of the hardest wood to split. It really put some meat on my frame, let me tell ya! When I went to boot camp everybody asked me if I played football or wrestled in high school. I said no I split wood. They just looked at me with that funny confused look on their face.

  • @Atkrdu
    @Atkrdu 12 лет назад

    Dave, look into Roselli Axes. Great design (won't get into every feature, but it's got a thick wedge shape to the head, a round hole in the head for the handle & it's a bearded axe). It'll chop & split better without getting stuck as much, the handle is more easily replaceable, and it hangs on your belt better (as well as being easier to use for a knife, because you can choke up on the handle). It costs between $100-$120 where I've seen them, but it might depend on where it's shipping from.

  • @OutdoorJunkie1992
    @OutdoorJunkie1992 12 лет назад +1

    Thanks Dave, just found my new axe. I wonder if I spent more money on gear at your store than Gander Mountain over time haha. But you carry the best gear at a great price. Keep up the great work brother.

  • @Lean540
    @Lean540 11 лет назад

    If it's just a little loose, soak it for a couple weeks in boiled linseed oil, it'll tighten right up.
    Save you the shipping.

  • @qzetu
    @qzetu 9 лет назад

    The one pound condor axe is nice but it needs a lot of work. The edge is wide which is better for splitting rather than chopping. For a small axe it should have a flatter edge for carving and chopping. The handle on it was really nice. The groves are actually running parallel with the head like it should.

  • @1legionary
    @1legionary 12 лет назад

    might get the ax but im enjoying this 30 dollar hatchet i got from lowes. the cover for the hatchet's blade was cheap canvas and just plain bad but me being me i made my own. actually 2 (one out of really nice thick leather that is fairly plain and a thinner one that's more decorative for showing off) and it works well. and im looking forward to testing out the ax that has Dave's seal of approval. thx for the review.

  • @paulie4x1
    @paulie4x1 9 лет назад

    Hi Dave, what scares me, is that it's 1045, and my gut feeling is it's soft to take the abuse, so I think in heavy use, you have to keep sharpening it alot, because my Estwing is around 1055 or 1050 Bar tool steel, and sometime I feel, I wish it would have just a little bit more carbon, so it held a longer edge.

  • @RealityStar9
    @RealityStar9 11 лет назад

    That doesnt look too bad. I dont feel comfortable swinging a small axe because we have nothing but hardwoods like oaks, maples, walnuts and hickories where Im at and you need some force on it but that handle length looks promising.

  • @onlyashadow1121
    @onlyashadow1121 11 лет назад

    That's a lot more reassuring than my cold steel trailboss, came with a loose head, no edge (duller than the back of a butterknife), and all I got for my call to customer service was advice to replace the handle.
    I'll probably end up using the coldsteel to practice sharpening and pick up one of these axes instead.

  • @ksdj1
    @ksdj1 12 лет назад

    That looks like a very good axe. I have always had good luck with Condor blades. I have 2 knives and a machete. All are holding up well. They all come with excellent sheaths. Looks like I may be buying that axe.

  • @Maddawwg45
    @Maddawwg45 12 лет назад

    dave i bought the condor bushlore knife i paid around 30 bucks for it there scandi grind and i believe 1075 HC steel and the leather sheath is super heavy duty deffenatly a common man price for some one who wants a step up from a mora well worth the 30 dollars i paid for it ,oh btw the first run of them were horriable but all current model now are like 1/8 inch and basically got all the bugs worked outta them so to speak i deffenatly think they are a company to keep an eye on

  • @localrider77
    @localrider77 12 лет назад

  • @Simplemansnature
    @Simplemansnature 12 лет назад

    I like it! I also like that lantern behind you in the video. For me it is the perfect axe handle length, as the ALICE pack is just about as tall as that axe is long. Price isn't too bad either. I was thinking about buying one from Sears for about $30, but with that kind of quality, and with it having the Pathfinder logo on it, and supporting the school, I would rather have a Pathfinder axe.

  • @ajcz

    it might sound off topic, but i'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what brand that fedora is on Dave's top. im a big fan in fedora and I enjoy bushcraft, they kinda go along pretty well in Dave's videos.

  • @WORRO
    @WORRO 12 лет назад

    Tell you what Bro Dave,, if these two axes are half as good as the "Ft Meigs 1812" belt axe you sale, then they are fine tools. I ordered that little belt axe several months ago, and have used it several times,, it is SO handy!
    Keep up the good work, thanks for the videos, and excellent products you offer for sale!
    THUMBS Up!~~John

  • @bwillan
    @bwillan 12 лет назад

    Perhaps a video showing just how easy it is to replace a wooden axe handle in the wild, will help. Be sure not to leave out the step where you have to remove the bit of handle that is still wedged in the axe head.

  • @RandyL0neWolf
    @RandyL0neWolf 12 лет назад

    Hi Dave, have you ever tried out a Fiskars axe, made in Finland? Those are not as traditional looking as yours because of the "plastic" handle but it's really bulletproof. A few years ago they made a demonstration were they run over the axe handle with a tractor and it didnt brake.

  • @CliffStamp
    @CliffStamp 12 лет назад

    Dave, is that the standard bit length on that axe or did you request a longer one? It looks very similar to a Hudson's Bay profile.
    Nice video, I have been curious about those axes for awhile, very nice prices compared to the Swedish axes.

  • @liquidxskin19
    @liquidxskin19 12 лет назад

    I plan to get one of these before next years camping season starts and totally like reasonable price point without a doubt. In my personal experience splitting wood is easy, feather sticks are somewhat easy, but felling is not. Would you consider this a good choice for small diameter felling? How about chopping dead wood fallen trees into manageable sections? Will it fit in a large inner or outer frame backpack? These are the thoughts and questions I have about the item maybe you can clarify.

  • @fastacker2

  • @MrBandit1953
    @MrBandit1953 12 лет назад

    Dave, I have used this same axe for a couple of yrs, only with the smaller 16" handle, and as a matter of fact, my son is in the Crags of Pikes Peak with it this weekend. I am a big fan of this axe and you are correct about the sheath...it's bomb proof.
    My question is, will you have the longer handles available in the future?

    @Boxerpapa1 12 лет назад

    Dave, nice review. I have a Condor machete that I'm impressed with as well. If you had to choose between the 19" Wetterlings and the new 23" Condor, which one would you choose knowing both are quality tools?

  • @Foxer604
    @Foxer604 12 лет назад

    Condor's designs can be a little hit and miss, Some are good and others are more questionable - but they do a very respectable axe. This is an excellent product for the dollar. I like the handle length on the pathfinder version better - turns it into a really respectable tool for heavier work and for lighter work.

  • @DementedMutt
    @DementedMutt 10 лет назад +1

    Dave have you tried the husqvarna forest axe made by wetterlings? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I think it might fall in the common man common sense category. Wetterlings axe at almost half the price?

  • @zombietinder
    @zombietinder 12 лет назад

    Dave, I've had my axe for about a week now and put it through some hard work. It functions great and is great to admire with its rustic line. I've noticed that the handle is just a bit loose in the head when pulling out of a cut; do you recommend another wedge, or is this normal for this product? Thanks.

  • @BrujoHN
    @BrujoHN 12 лет назад

    Hello, Dave. Down here in Honduras this is one of the best options to get, as well as the Truper brand from Mexico. I noticed in one of your videos you prepared a common man´s kit and included a Truper. How would you rate the Condor versus de Truper? I have a Truper axe, it´s pretty good, except for the handle, that's made of metal too. I'm looking to get a wooden handled, and Condor seems to be a good option. A value tool. What's your take? Thanks, best wishes. Elmer.

    curious which is better, tomahawk or axe? I've used plenty of axes but never a hawk. Given the number of handles I've replaced, seems it would be easier to replace a hawk handle, specially out in the woods.

    Say Heah Dave, Yup, I was going to go out with my New 3V GNS and my 2Hawks Warbeast Tomahawk. But I changed my mind and took my G.B. Small Forest Axe that reminded me the video your doing with this Condor Hatchet. Yeah, I went out with some friends and enjoyed a great Afternoon Delight. and had some Butcher Dhop Hot Dogsz/mustard and onions with Pork and Beans. Everything tastes better on a fire.. I want to take that Hawk out, But it might be a bit colder this week and the S.F.A. is a pretty good combo with my GNS. so I might just finish up those hot dogs the same as today, Ciao.,,.

    I have a question please don't laugh. Lately some individuals have touted a Gerber Machete. It has a saw on top and blade on the bottom. Are these reliable to use as a low cost substitute for a axe and a saw? Or due you consider these to flimsy for use in place of a axe and saw?

  • @Zankaroo
    @Zankaroo 11 лет назад

    I think its more of the fact that when you really need things to go good they tend to go to shit, and it is not impossible to break a polymer handle, but when your in a survival situation and shit is not going your way and your axe handle breaks. It is easier to replace a wooden handle than a polymer one.
