Benchmade Arvensis vs Condor Mini Hudson Bay Knife Fixed Blade Walnut

I just want to mention. Obviously this is made in the USA being benchmade 354 dollars 95 from Nebo nice here in Australia is where I bought this one f...

Love the knife but had a warranty issue and Condor told me not covered under lifetime warranty because Amazon is not an Authorized dealer.

Sheath did not come with belt attachment . Handle is a little small and short for me. In fairness it was designed as a all purpose not specific to one task .that said I liked the handle while processing my buck

Tough, rugged knife, 4 stars because the handle is a little shorter than it should be, and of course the sheath with most Condors is just so/so

It's very comfortable in my hand and at about 6.5" is perfect for my EDC. I'm 6'6", 200lbs and tend to opt for gear that average sized guys would pass on. The only flaw is the sheath

The sheathe is definitely thick leather, the handle looks old(in a good way) and the thickness suggests it can take a beating, it is high carbon(rusting made that fairly obvious as did the paper stating how to care for it) so again it should be up for some punishment. Just fyi: my picture showing the rust on the edge also looks like the cheek is rusted too but that part is just lighting.

You'Ve got these two little Clips down here if they push the tabs in and then pull up on the clip and that's how it comes off. That's what looks like ...

Sheath is obviously made for a much smaller knife. In my case its no biggie as I make knives as well as sheaths and just went to the shop and bang issue over. However this doesn't let Condor off the hook for being sub par on their quality control. Seems Condor keeps inching up their prices and inversely inching down their Q

if the replacement comes new as it should and without loose scales, it will be a keeper and for sure 4/5. Replacement Arrived: Its better. The hollow pins on this one doesn't just push out with hand force

Condor Knife and Tool has been around since the 1700s and makes some of the best knives for actual hard use. If you bought it as a "SHOW" piece to put on your shelf, go buy a POS Spyderco. You had no reason to rate this knife 2 out of 5 stars, if you didn't like it because it wasn't a shiny knife to put in your display case you could have just sent it back.

So, overall guys I mean a fantastic ski for the price point, you're getting a great sheet and really no need to upgrade, and you can kind of tweak the...

If you can make a few small improvements yourself, its worth the money for what you get.
