I feel like condor has a good niche in the market, their tool designs rival very expensive ones without the price tag. and like you said you can learn how to treat an axe or knife without worrying too much about ruining it. I have a bushlore and I love the design, it made me realize what i like in knives so when I pull the trigger on something I have a good idea on what I want. :)
I have one of these and i love it. I had to put an edge on it when i got it but not hard to do. I used it to chop up a large tree limb that fell during a storm in my yard. Took me about an hour of chopping to do it but the Condor was still shaving sharp afterwards. Made a believer out of me.
Sweet axe! I am way behind on your video's. The bell notification wasn't on and I thought that you guys had quit. So glad that you guys are still here!
With that axe averaging around $50 or more now, depending on where you buy it, one can get the equivalent 15.75", Marbles brand "camp axe", also made in El Salvador, for as low as $20. Same steel, same design, same handle &, although the Marbles head weight is listed as being heavier, it isn't. While I'm not positive, as nobody has confirmed it that I know of, I believe that the "made in El Salvador" Marbles axes are actually made by Condor Knife & Tool for Marbles. However, I do know that the Marbles, ($20 "camp" axe), ($22 "hunters" axe) & ($25 "outdoor axe"), that are made in El Salvador, are a heck of a dang good lil axe for their price.
I don't have a Condor axe, but the bushlore and the swamp romper are both great knives that are inexspensive and like this axe come with fantastic leather sheaths.
Condor makes some great sheaths , I have a few different ones , THe Warlock machete is a great heavy chopper for me, I have used their throwing knives as the are budget friendly and I have yet to find anything tougher , I have just ordered this axe and cant wait to use it .!! great vid , thanks for validating my thoughts !!
I bought a Marbles ax made in El Salvador same factory I guess , it's identical to yours. My is stamped MARBLES where yours is CONDOR. I did change the profile of my bit as well. It has been a good bushcraft tool, I've began several items using it . The quality of mine is better,just got lucky.Good review.
Nice review on this axe. I’m looking for small axe/hatchet to keep by the wood stove for splitting kindling. I have other Condor knives and machetes and find them to be high quality and affordable. Especially in the last few years, they have really stepped up their game at condor. Sure Condor might not come shave sharp out of the box and maybe some cosmetic issues, but if you’re using it as a tool they are tough and very functional. And you are not paying $150+.
If you put a bright paracord thru that grommet ,it is much easier to find on the forest floor.I have a couple of Condors axes and I think they are well worth the money .
Nice tool. I started out with the Condor Line and it suited the purpose. Highly recommend it for the price as you said, and agree, nice tool to sharpen your skills with. Enjoy your channel.
What do you think to do a new review about the Condor Bushlore. It has became a very popular bushcraft knife. You guys did one a couple of years ago and it might be a nice time to show how the knife works right now and your thoughts about it.
Krik, how does the axe perform when trying to fell small trees? Because that's essentially what an axe is for. Also, how did you thin the bit anyways? File and stones, or belt grinder? Or just stones? Thanks brother! I'd really love to meet you sometime and go for a hike with you guys! I've been watching your channel basically since you started it and I really like your style. I thank you and I would get along really well! =)
pennyghost, they're designed to expand the wood 360°, in the tool eye, supposedly giving it better retention. Although, I'm not sure if it is actually any better than using a traditional steel step wedge, I haven't had a handle that has the round wedge installed come loose yet.
Man you said see you soon, it's been five years already!

Got the same axe, its been two years also. I thinned out the bit and it carve and do fire wood like a breeze!

That is different. The Condor Mini Greenland Hatchet is 1060 Carbon Steel, But MARBLES CAMP AXE is 1045.
I love my condor Greenland. Also about two years old. Looking forward to the video about thinning out the edge!
I would like to get the Roselli R860 axe. ....looks to be the perfect axe around camp.

Great review... Condor tools are definitely worth the price
Nice looking Axe My friend
With GBA and Hulk's, do you think you're paying for the brand name?
Nice review, guys! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice axe
Nice video!
Off topic, but saw your skateboard wheels on the braille skateboard channel.... Well done, very cool!
I saw your beef ribs video on the pork ribs channel...what's up with that?

It looks a lot like the Marbles Camp Axe and seeing that they're both made in El Salvador I'm going to take a guess and say they're the same axe.
Probably the same forge. But the marbles is slightly heavier and longer edge. Handle is different as well - thinner.
Neat for the price. Thanks!
..how much does the head weight? Even condor on their pages says nothing about the most important information about an axe...
I want to get a lethermam multi tool do you think I should get one
YES ! I love my Rebar, it's a great all-rounder.
I have never understood the metal tube wedge. They fail. If anyone can explain how they should work, I would love to hear about it. Thanks.
