@@trancedance7135Russell from Artisan/CJRB is awesome too! He is a true knife enthusiast and isn’t a knife rep just bcuz it is a job. He really loves knives and is a big collector.
The knives designs are cool and practical, but as usual the dynamic between Joe and David overshadowes all else in the video. Such a joy to see those two knife geeks together
I have never seen Joe Flowers in that "end of a show" exhausted state. Even like this, he has 10 times more energy than the rest of the crowds at Shot Show. Keep up the good work DCA and Joe!
Love Joe Flowers. I look forward to these videos every year and reference them throughout the year when getting a new knife. Condor has the best knife designs in my opinion. And their getting better every year.
What was that thing with the dark green looking handle and big grey hawkbill blade at the top of the stand and on the far left of the table? Its not in the 2024 catalogue.
Condor...My favorite machetes, tomahawks, throwers (next to AceJet), and axes. Big big fan! Only thing found more in my collection than Condor is Cold Steel (because of price and less tears if ya bust it).
I like the Samicarta a lot and would really love it in 1075. I still might break my own habit a bit and buy one, usually I only settle for stainless fixed blades from Buck since they rarely use their 5160 but this knife looks so great that I might have to get one.
Tom from the fandabi doze channel came out with a bushcraft Sgian dubh a few years ago so condor’s design isn’t original . Yes Tom bushcrafts in a kilt in the Scottish highlands .
We don´t use raindeer bones for knifehandles, we use their antlers. Raindeer shead their antlers every year so you won´t hurt them in any way by using it for knifehandles.
Crennelations are also on different crown moldings for interior decorating and add quite the geometrical touch for a certain renaissance feel and/or because they may compliment lighting, colors, etc. better than others. What's ironic is that they need a blade with smooth, laser fine, scalpel sharp saw blades to cut them properly as do other crown moldings to fit exact to get perfection when building someone else's home or business office. Great presentation David C. Anderson.
Serbia mentioned RAAAH 🇷🇸🦅 By the way, love to our Serbian friends they are killing it at ShotShow this year between Zastava and the knife makers. Love Goran, Mihail, Nemanja and Zoran works. They are doing such cool pieces.
Knives are a required part of a first aid kit according to FAA, coast guard, Homeland security, park service, And all commercial vehicle first aid kits. The Air Force states the knife must be large enough to cut through aluminum aircraft wreckage to make shelter.
Saame /Saami reindeer drop their horn’s so supply is not endangered😊. Looks similar to 🇫🇮knive’s = puukko. Tool not novelty survival dagger with bell’s and Whistle’s 4:45-
Why....why dont they Make a Guard for your Hands...on them Knives your hand can slip and your Fingers will be on the Ground....I would like that Michetti .. but there is no Guard I use Michetti if I ues it hard it's really possible that my can Slip and run my hands down the Blade... this is Stupid
I never watch your videos because they are just to long. I love knives but can't spend that much time watching. Please shorten them to 5 to 10 minutes.
I used to laugh at people buying orange knifes, until coworkers started to joke that I was going to go all "don't go to work tomorrow" due to all my tactical looking knives. I still prefer baby blue though
Just a note, the sami people are not only present in Scandinavia but also in Finland, this area of Scandinavia + Finland is commonly referred to as fenno-scandia!
@stonefox9124 I know! I bought my first knife for camping in November of 2023, by February of 2024 I now have 7 knives!!!!!! I look at myself in the mirror and ask " WTF just happened? 😬" Before November of 2023, I was never a knife guy. 🤔
Joe Flowers is always the interview that I look forward too! He has such an infectious energy and personality. Joe is my favorite knife company rep. Great video DCA, Thomas, and Joe!
In my opinion the problem with Condor is the prices are generally not cheap and the finishing is not stellar so to speak. All the respect for Mr Flowers though.
