New Condor Knife

[Fenway]

Was browsing condor gear and came across this new knife. I'm not a knife guy... What do you think?

KF1001 - Barracuda Folding Knife

Condor makes good blades. I however don't care for the serrations.

I agree, Condor makes nice knives. Serrations have their purpose so it mostly depends on the end user. I have a couple knives with serrations but most do not. The scales look like they would be comfortable to hang onto, just have to hold one to be sure. Looks nice.

Not a huge fan of AUS8 but you could do worse. The bigger belly at the front of the blade may make sharpening a little more time intensive depending on your system. Not a huge fan of serrations and those look like they'd grab or hang up on something rather than make a smooth cut. It does look cool though and hey #6 principle of patrolling = always look cool.... Personally would spend my money elsewhere on a knife.

I am a serration fan, we aint carving wood here. Those are great on heavy cloth and seat belts

Any sharp knife is good for cloth and seat belts. Keep your blades sharp and your gun loaded.

I believe there is a bit of confusion. This knife is from Condor, the tactical gear company and not from Condor Tool & Knife that has a great reputation for their blades.

Since I believe that this knife is from the tactical gear Condor company, I would bet they don't even make it themselves. I would want to know who is making this for them. AUS 8 is just an "OK" steel, there are a lot better steels out there.

Run, don't walk, the other direction.

Looks like a turd to me. Don't like the steel or serrations. And as Brad pointed out, who knows who really made it. Might be someone like Taylor Brand

ummm ya..... NO THANKS

The recurve looking blades are cool period. At least look tough. HTM uses a blade with similair geometry.

The HTM re-curve blade is a Darrell Ralph design and is so bad looking I almost bought one for $300. Then I got a Hest 2.0 with a sticky lock bar instead.

Agree about the serrations in that for myself I always go straight blade over combo edges. I dont have use for serrations and they take up half the blades usefull cutting surface. Again for my needs

But I wouldnt buy that knife cause Joe said run and Brad said Who?
