Homemade Condor Bushlore knife.

[Mike.A.]

This is a Condor Bushlore I made from a blank. I have made a few knives prior to this one all from buying blanks as I don’t have the facilities to forge my own, I’d love to have a go one day though. I used African Blackwood scales and resin and loveless bolts to fix everything together. I had enough Blackwood left over so managed to make a matching fire stick to go with it. Found a suitable sheath to accommodate it all to complete the set. It’s not as perfect as a bought one I don’t think but it’s a one off and unique. Also does the job perfectly to for what I wanted.

Thanks for the replies, I’m very pleased with how it turned out and it was she first time I tried using loveless bolts. I wanted to make the handle attachment as strong as possible given I intend using it as a bushcraft knife.

You built that well I've got an off the shelf Bushlore and it's a cracking knife. Just be careful though, mine nearly had my thumb off recently because I wasn't paying attention.

Thanks, I know what you mean they are razor sharp out of the box. I’ve got a few Condor products and all have been the same, even the Departure Bolo Machete.
