Condor Tool & Knife

Condor Tool & Knife presents its first scandi-ground, high carbon steel folding knife ready for the great outdoors. Engineer Jorge Umaña and designer Joe Flowers pulled out all the stops, creating a patented lock strengthening mechanism, the “Condorlock” system, that disperses pressure on the handle when put under stress. With a carbon steel blade and a Micarta handle, the Krakatoa is meant to rock the folding knife market.

Pros: Pocket Clip, Blade Material
Cons: Weight
Fun but flawed
I like it and enjoy carrying it despite its shortcomings. My first Krakatoa had a significant chip in the blade and Knife Center took excellent care of me. My second example arrived in pristine condition and I immediately put it to work. After spending some time with it and throwing a variety of tasks at it I feel I can give a qualified review.The good:-Nice aesthetic with natural micarta slab-Scandi grind-CondorLock and 1095 blade steel inspire confidenceThe bad:-Every screw needs to be tightened-Weak detent The Ugly:-Weighs a tonThis knife is thick and you will know it’s on you. This primitive design also requires a near constant maintenance routine of tightening the pivot screw and oiling the blade. Oddly enough it grew on me and I didn’t mind the extra attention. It is a flawed execution and for the money there are better knives. But this knife has personality, and personality goes a long way.
