Condor Terrasaur - Destroys the Garberg with FACTS and LOGIC?! 

*Further review notes* The original Terrasaur knife was sold under the ‘Off The Map Knives’ brand, also called the Terrasaur and first debuted in 2009 as a collaborative design between Joe and Brian Andrews. Examples are easily found via google image search. This version is the same pattern with a plastic handle. I guess you could say its an ‘iteration’ of that knife. Mora Garberg does have some advantages in its fit and finish and is a great knife. I try to answer as many comments as I can on my newer videos, but please watch it all before you say I didn’t address something I, in fact, did! Some pros/cons and neutrals I feel like highlighting: Garberg beats the Terrasaur in slight fit and finish. The DLC coating also protects more of the blade toward the edge. The sharpened spine is a little more sharp on the Garberg. Both factory edges were about the same keeness out of box. The steels feel about the same during continued use in terms of edge retention and stability. The sheaths are about as good as each other. Multimount (Garberg) is possibly worth more to people looking to mount the knife. The condor has a better thumb launch. Both have a lifetime warranty. The condor is half the price. It roughly meets the needs of me, a user who doesn’t claim to be carving rocking horses, complex deadfall traps, yurts or ebony skull lanyard beads on the regular with my knife. Usage may vary if your skills, either real or inagined, take your knives to a higher needs place. They both make feathersticks, stock remove wood, split kindling, pry and lever bark off trees, cut food and cardboard about as good as the other. I will gladly spend more money on a knife simply on aesthetics or brand loyalty myself. Totally get it. Play nice, Mora fans!

I love the "in the knife lab" sign. It makes your testing results official.. lol keep up the good videos.

Shed a tear for Australian knife prices :'(

The DBK boys reviewed the condor terrasaur, when it came to feather-sticking the terrasaur blew mickkey B’s mind. “It feathersticks as well as my best feathersticking knife, what I thought was my best feathersticking knife”. The poor garberg is outclassed

Based on the title of the video and the intro, am I the only one that was legitimately hoping for a review of the Dinosaur helmet?

First you call it the Finn Wolf, then you call it the Finn Bear. It's the Finn Hawk, damnit! FINN HAWK! (I'm telling Lynn).

40 seconds in and I'm already hitting like just for the dino dance!

Garbergs are $79-83 USD on Amazon in the US right now. Edited: I have never gotten the hype on these. I picked up my carbon Bushcraft Black for $33 and never saw a need to go to the Garberg. All Moras are about indestructible. Heck my Companion in carbon steel does everything I need a knife this size to do. If I need something just slightly more heavy duty, I have a dozen knives to choose from that are more "hd" than a Garberg. Another good video though. I really appreciate all of the ones you do. You and Advanced Knife Bro are as of now the only knife channels I am subscribed to. Happily.

My girls loved you messen with the dogs! Another nice video man keep up the great content. This should start some conversations up as well

i love my many moras but i find myself always going back to the terrasaur. i want to give one to each my mates! cant go wrong!

Well now as a lover of Mora and Conor it was an interesting video to me. It was a fair and unbiased comparison and you are quite right the price tag of a knife is very important to many people who just can't afford the high end blades these days or the prices of the not so high end but still need a blade they can rely on. This was as up close and personal as you can get without being able to play with the blade myself and for that I thank you because now I can go out and buy a Terrasaur with confidence knowing I am onto a winner. Keep up the good work my friend you have no idea what a great help you are (Ok maybe you do by now some one MUST have told you.) when it come to getting a good blade for an affordable price.😁

Terrasaur is a grest value. However, Garberg is the only one with stainless option. The Stainless Garberg is overlooked over the carbon but it is cheaper and not significantly worse. It also having a unique stainless steel among the Mora line is a plus whereas the carbon steel is same as from the Bush.

Thumbs up for the cut, beat up, scuffed manly hands with short, practical, un-groomed, non-feminine nails. Thank god for small miracles with just a very few RU-vid reviewers & presenters. This folks is a man who actually uses his knives & apparently works for a living.

I purchased 2 of the Terrasaur's in black, months apart. On both, I had to remove some plastic "sharp" burrs from the handle, "dull" the protruding metal at the pommel that was stabbing my palm, sharpen spine and strop blade. This is a really good knife! At this price point (I paid ~$43 @ KnifeCenter) I think a better comparison would be to the Mora Bushcraft black (~$40 total @ Third party/Amazon; "Amazon" is charging ~$53 inc. tax). The Garberg is more than twice the price at $90. Mora fit and finish is better, for sure. But, you are getting a full tang Garberg style knife, for a Mora Black price. I own all of these. I still choose the Mora 2000 (for all around use) and the Terava 110 or 140 (for wood Prep). Just for Sh*ts and grins - The Terava 110 fits perfectly, like a glove, in the Morakniv Bushcraft: Black or Forrest sheath.

Without a doubt, your best and most hilarious intro ever!

The bit with your dogs was funny!

Don't sell yourself short. You're the best plasticologist you can be.

This knife is a great budget tool. I like it.

Wow really fun knife video!!! :D

I own both. I find the Terrasaur design outperforms the garberg design, IMHO. Mora has better steel.

I love his wranglerstar title parodys xD

The main difference between polyamide and polypropylene is that the most recognizable products the PA is a base of are the bullet proof vests, while for the PP are... buckets. A coincidence one might said? I don't think so. ;-) Besides this, the finish of Terrasaur compared to Garberg is like you've compared the finish of Volvo to... some car ever made in El Salvador.

whats the angle of the blade edge and micro bevel?

Rewatched for the intro.

It's like a Garberg that performs slightly better and costs half as much.

You had me at Raaawwr!!

Have you tried the Benchmade Foray? Review it pretty please

stainless actually holds an edge longer

All of the above plus Joe Flowers has a really cool name.

I like the edge on the condor better, but mine came with a big burr from factory. The fit and finish is better on most moras

I've a like simply for screwing with the dogs lol

Why is this channel called Cedric@ Ada when all we see is a Cedric?

"Factually" the Garberg is the tougher knife all around (with lifetime warranty), but the Terrasaur is a more economic option.

I like it yes 1095 stuff.handle is 👍 good.its a good looking knive.i just love my moras ho.really hard to be.i got carbon and stainless.models.i would buy this knive😁

"deranged knife wielding man who identifies as a dinosaur viciously attacks dogs"

$15 Hultafors GK?

Where'd you get that invisible counter top at 1:00 ? I've been looking all over for one but they don't appear to be sold anywhere...

Idk, im yet to break a 10 dollor mora and ive beat them to shit. I could see myself breaking this handle. It just seems like a cheap handle that could crack

I take both please.into the wilderness.

In my country these knives have the same price.....

I have a Terrasaur designed by Joe Flowers but made by Brian Andrews...? Hmmm....

C&A, Nice presentation. How would the Falkniven F1 compare with the Terrasaur? I have the F1 and know about the the narrownes makes long term hard use somewhat uncomfortable. Price was a little less than the Garberg, when I purchased it 3 years ago. I like the convex grind on the edge which is a great compromise for rougher work and detail work. Blade is a bit wide for carving. Heck, I have the MORA 120 AND MORA 106 for those tasks. Terrasaur at half the price is quite amazing!

For this price it should be at least D2 steel

this guy is clueless, With knives you get what you pay for. If bet this knife would fail waaaay before a Mora

1. The Garberg is also ambidextrous. Just turn the knife 180 while putting it in the sheath. 2. You didnt mention the build quality, lots of reviewers spoke about shoddy handles, moulding issues. 3. Buying European > buying Southamerican (IMHO). So basically the Terrasaur isnt better than the Garberg except for the price. Its like saying “why buy a Ferrari when you can ride around in a Yugo, same thing”.

Garberg overall is the better pick. that said condor makes good knives

Sai-sal pronunciation look it up brother

Its a straight no bullshit bushcralf knive.job done no bells or whistles.would you trust your life to this knive😳

Hero Academia is just OPMs afterbirth, comes from the same place but not worthwhile to spend time with😂

Mora uses uhb20c in their carbon steel not 1095. According to your own tests mora's carbon has more edge retention than 1095 but you say its basically the same? What kind of a circus are you running around here. It holds it edge longer in one test and its the same in a video where joe gives a knife. You won't miss my subscription to your channel but just know i unsubscribed.

The Mora you were comparing the edge of @3:24 was a different blade material in the first place (stainless steel) so not really a comparison! I find it hard to take in that someone is claiming this as 'own design' when the similarities to the Garberg are so obvious!!

Pretty sure its pronounced Plastillurgist.

Improve your bushcrafting skills with this ONE WEIRD TRICK!!!

A better comparison might be against the Terävä Jääkäripuukko which is at a more similar price point. I spelled Terävä Jääkäripuukko right off the top of my head by the way. Definitely not a copy/paste.

As of now: Condor Terrasaur 45€ Mora Garberg stainless 53.80€ (60€ with multimount) Mora Garberg carbon 70€ (including the multimount) If I didn't have a steel preference, I'd go with the Garberg stainless. It's the better knife (which doesn't mean the Terrasaur is bad). I expect the Garberg carbon to come down in price some more next year. But even now I would prefer it over the Condor. The price difference is worth the overall better quality and ergonomics. But that's personal preference. I own all three knives multiple times. I find myself using the Garberg more often.

Nice to see Condor moving up to 1095 from 1070. I think you nailed it on this knife filling a gap.

You were drunk when you bought that dinosaur mask, weren't you? This knife is a really nice find. I definitely see how the Terrasaur matches the Garberg with specs and appearance. I remember I actually got the Real Steel Bushcraft knife because of a similar vid you did years back.

Haha one of your dogs was having a blast. the other was like, 'I don't know what we are doing anymore'. Nice review too. I hadn't seen that knife before.

The terrasaur makes my hand cramp up when carving. The garberg handle fills my palm better and prevents cramps, especially when I choke up on it to carve. The condor terrasaurs price makes it where I can put one in all my cars and bags for occasional use but the garberg is what I take camping or backpacking.

Great video and review. I found the same things in my review. I like the blade and handle profile of the Terrasaur better than the Garberg. I like how the Terrasaur has more of a U.K. style Woodlore shape to it compared to the Garbergs more classic Sami Leuku Puukko shape with more drastic belly towards the end of the blade. good stuff mate

Just the fact that everyone is comparing a $42 knife to a $90 mora is quite telling.

$189 for a Garberg?? $79 here in the States. That's just crazy man!!

“if that is something in your imagination or factuality you would use your knife for” 😂

My Terrasaur arived with a piss poor grind,it was so bad the point of the blade looked like a chisel.

Hi. I am fairly new here and enjoying the crap out of your reviews. Love the knives chosen and the style. Good health and stay safe

I bought a Kansbol cos I refused to pay asking price for Garberg, for example basic Garberg £109.95, basic Kansbol £39.95 both stainless

I'm a huge fan of Joe. I'm really glad he got Imacasa to start treating 1095.

This is not something that would likely come up in the Australian context, but the Swedish knifemakers (I am thinking of Mora and Fällkniven in particular) have made a point of choosing handle plastics that perform well at cold temperatures. I guess this would be worth testing out ... to see if the Terrasaur handle becomes hard as rock and slick below freezing as compared to the Garberg handle.

Glad your dogs are more mellow than one I had; years ago I put on a Halloween mask and walked into the den and my Dobie nearly lost his mind, I came within seconds of having my junk ripped off...ah, sweet memories. Though I've never handled a Condor, it looks like a sturdy, comfortable fixed blade for hard use.

After 6 months of use I have the following thoughts about the Terrasaur: 1. The sheath sucks, full stop. The knife sits way too deep in the sheath and doesn't want to come out. The thumb ramp doesn't help the slightest bit getting the knife out. It should be on the opposite side. Therefore, I will make a Kydex sheath for the Terrasaur. The original sheath is completely useless. 2. The blade is actually quite nice. If you get a decent Terrasaur (the quality of the blade, especially the grind varries a lot), you will have a well made blade with a decent grind that works well for wood work. Some people prefer the more pronounced belly of the Garberg, some prefer the less pronounced belly of the Terrasaur (which is similar to a Mora Companion). I wouldn't pick a clear winner between the Garberg and the Terrasaur, but the Garberg's blade overall feels better in terms of quality. So the blade comes down to personal preference. I like them both. 3. The handle of the Terrasaur not only feels less comfortable compared to the Garberg, it also lacks traction. While both handles are not rubberized, the Garberg has a nice texture which provides good traction while the texture of the Terrasaur is slippery in comparison. It's more for the look of the knife instead of really providing a better grip. On top of that I prefer larger handles, which the Garberg happens to have. I also like the symmetric design of the Garberg which feels perfect to me in all grip variations. On top of that, the handle of the Terrasaur is not very robust. You better never hit the handle when batoning wood. There is only a very thin layer of plastic above the blade spine where it sits in the handle. A few hits with a piece of wood and that plastic will break / split exposing the spine inside the handle. On the long run, that's not gonna hold up very well. So better be carefull when batoning and stay away from the handle. The Garberg on the other side doesn't mind you hitting the handle for hours and hours with a baton (not that I would recommend doing that). The handle of the Garberg is made of polyamide which is a very tough plastic material. It really can take a beating without showing any sign of abuse worth noticing. While I'm not really into batoning (aside from making smaller kindling), the toughness of the Garberg's handle to me is a big plus. The Terrasaur really is not a bad knife for the price. The blade is really nice (if you get a good one), the handle design is decent for typical bushcrafting tasks. But I highly recommend getting another sheath for the Terrasaur and not abusing the handle near the spine as it is way too thin / weak in that area. A little more plastic would have made quite a difference in that area. After all, you get what you're paying for and for most tasks the Terrasaur is a more than decent knife.

A much better and more honest review than those given by 2 of the instructors at the path finder school on their channels, I suspect Mora patronage has a great deal to do with that.

Man.. I dig your information but your sense of humor is utterly English. Also, condors heat treat is notoriously shit and spotty at best

The condor looks like trash in comparison to the garberg. Lousy finish. Bad chinese copy?

I have an original Terrasaur knife made by Off the Map Knives. It was my first quality knife and had it shipped to Australia in 2010.. It cost $200 USD shipped, which was a lot of money at the time. Brian Andrews's waiting list was 9 months. It has one of the best edges, amazing for feather sticks etc and so easy to sharpen. The sheath was awesome too. I wanted to buy the Bushcrafter model but Brian decided to stop knife making which was such a pity.

If anyone needs a sign to buy the terrasaur it is at 7:00 "The edge retention on the steel if very similar if not the same as the mora garberg"

Great review and great channel. It is nice to see a knife review that does not copy exactly the format for every other one. People seem to have forgotten how weird it is to see only hands of an anonymous person on a screen as a trusted source that informs your choices for purchasing knives. Also, it is nice to see content that does not focus on knives that are more suited as jewelry or ones that are used to only open envelopes and Amazon boxes. Thanks -

Jakaripukko still the 👑

It'd be nice to a comparison between either of these two and the more traditional Condor Bush-Lore.

My man. Better be watch the summer season of anime. Demon slayer is gettin gud. That condor Looks like a good one. Would buy.

Leave the Garberg on the store shelf and buy a Terrasaur and a Mora Robust. You have two great Bushcraft knives and a cheap lunch for the price of the Garberg.

I would like to see what’s under the handles please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Plastitition= Plastic technician.. sounds good, but I just made it up. 😆

My knives and I love watching your videos. I bring them out, and prop them up comfortably on the couch with me, with some popcorn and coffee. This video seem to upset my Mora's, though. They went back in their sheaths about three minutes into the video. They've enjoyed every other video. Cheers.

Hard to beat Mora Companion HD for bang for the buck. Garberg over Condor might make more sense if stainless is desired. Kansbol or 2000 might make even more sense. I own all the aforementioned Moras.

Thanks for the review, it convinced me to buy the terrasaur on amazon right after watching.

I have the Fiddleback Forge version of this knife. I'm surprised they changed the handle shape so much, but still looks like a great knife.

Man, that quick speed plastic rundown , with that pause after together with xoom haha

A knife must have longevity and quality .Condor is cheap because of quality and longevity.

10:20 189$? is that aus monopoly money or something? i checked amazon and it's 68$ usd. wow, i just check google and "189 Australian Dollar equals 127.15 United States Dollar" clearly your money isn't pulling it's weight. also the condor is 47.72$ usd, so it's not an big jump in price, i also like an stainless steel better then an carbon steel, which becomes rusty fast, if you use it near water.

When you pay for a factory worker who is treated the way you'd want to be treated, it's a clear choice on why the mora. I'd rather word in Sweden than el Salvador. The knife is a little better. The company is far better.

GARBERG 159 to 189 Canadian before taxes depending on sheath option TERRASAUR 53 Canadian before taxes To me it's a clear win for the TERRASAUR at 1/3 the cost!!! I own 8 or 9 different MORAS and love them but could not bring myself to buy the 2000 or kansbol due to price......the garberg? Get out of town with those fanboy prices......it would be nice to see its price come down to reality and I would check it out

nice intro pete! always funny, the knife seems like a nice no bullshit rustattractor ;]

Thanks for this review of the Condor Terrasaur and how it compares to the Mora Garberg, very informative.

I got my first 2 mora companions for my wife and myself. It will pair will with my J. Adams MoD knife and 3 peice British Army Clasp knife.

The reason the condor is cheaper is because the steel is inferior, the fit and finish is inferior and the overall knife is inferior!! No One!! sells a Rolls Royce for Kia prices!!

Poliamide Is not as flexible as polipropilen, but Is way more tenacious and allowes better finish in molded pieces. Polipropilen wears off faster.

You got lucky with your condor, ther grinds are horrible 65 percent of the time. Overall quality control goes 200 percent to mora

Hey dude there’s a guy impersonating a dinosaur on your lawn! Lol👍 great video buddy!

If you think that knife bets a Mora, you should never wander into the woods again. Because you are clueless bro.

If anyone comes across this the condor terrasaur or the mora bushcraft black? Almost the same price what are you choosing?
