Needs a lanyard hole for sure. If you chop with that, it could fly out of your hand without a lanyard.

I was stumbling through youtube like a drunk in a cluttered alley and found this gem of a video. You just got a sub. 'Straya

did some research on the hudson bay knife type, found out it was used by fur traders in the 18th century and mountain men in america. turns out it actually was used in place of a splitting axe sometimes. fun facts!

For what it's worth, I just got one of these and the sheath holds it quite well. I turned it upside down and shook it a bunch and it held steady. Maybe they've taken the note and improved it.

I've had mine for two and a half years now and it is a very usable knife. The design dates back to the early 1800's here in the states and was carried by many a Frontier's men and buffalo hunter. I've used mine to process kindling for fires and then slice meat. I like how you say the edge should be workable sharp. I also do not use a knife to chop down "trees" or baton wood. Good video, you've got my subscription. Oo;ps forgot to talk about the handle. It comes unfinished so you will need to oil it or poly urethane it. Or, you can wrap the handle is some kind of grip tape, hockey stick or tennis racket. I've even heard of guys wrapping the handle in para cord but not sure it would go back into the sheath then.

Own two of them. Good splitter and cleaver. Convex edge takes abuse well. Worth it. Keep up the vids !

I’ve got a simple solution for your shock transference… Go to a sporting good store and buy a nice leather tennis racket wrap.. that should make the handle both more comfortable and absorb shock more readily. i’d wrap it with a couple layers.

I don't know why everyone wants a lanyard at the butt of the grip. If you lose grip on it while using it then you have a pretty heavy sharp blade swinging towards parts of you that I am sure you would rather not have cut. The lanyard should be attatched at the front of the handle where it actually assists in retaining your grip. With a properly adjusted front mounted lanyard it is almost impossible for the knife to slip from your hand making it much safer.

Glad it arrived this quickly, and that you enjoy it :) I`ll throw you a mail if I ever have something else that might interest you.

Some tennis racket traction tape makes a world of difference on the grip. You can set form the sheath and it will have kydex like retention, or some good leather conditioner/preserver (I prefer Obenaufs LP, Balistol also works great on the leather and blade, both are food grade) rub the leather product in and form the leather around the handle, it's skin and will form around the handle, and your sheath will be protected from the elements. I prefer a large knife paired with a small 3" (like the Condor Bushlore) a big knife just minimizes work

Came here to watch a knife test and left with a good song stuck in my ear 👍 Btw my name is Cedric, too 💪

The Canadian bowie

I want to get the Moonstalker I love that blade it's a beast. Ya cant beat the price of Condor's knives awesome stuff for the money.Great review bro.

Hey Cedric great vid mate 👍🏻 I know this vid is older but right now as I'm writing Blade HQ is selling the Hudson Bay for an ouststanding price of $41.95 😝 I think I'm going to order one , I doubt anyone but a knife smith could make one for as little ! Cheers bro ,thanks for the review !

condor makes a great blade. i got this one for my son gor his bday.. he loves it!

This is a great cooking knife! A real mountain man knife

Sweet knife! Good video as always but what are those amazing tunes? love the music :D

I chose the bushlore over this because of the au pricing, but the bushlore's edge rolls and takes damage by simply carving and even cutting food on a board. But glad you posted the review and good song too man! Oh and you're getting towards 1000 subscribers - well deserved

Hey knife junky have you looked at those RealSteel bushcrafter knives? they make a folder version also and man it actually looks pretty dang nice. I was looking into getting a ColdSteel Finnwolf, scandi folders are so rare, but now the realsteel bushcrafter folder has my eye. Anyways I love watching you test stuff on that crazy wood you guys have down there, when you baton in your vids I can really see the knives struggling. Anyways its much better having other people try to break stuff so I dont have to LOL;) saves me money.

I hear you say that a lot about the prices, is it due to exchange rate that causes this or shipping, or something else?

now that's a Bowie knife that can take a man's hand off! IM GONNA BUY ONE!

Sap 14 cm olmalı.

Might you be able to mould that sheath to the knife?

Cortar árboles vivos no.

Useless for wood.
