An extension of my body at this point

I am not the biggest knife guy. I EDC a knife because my daily chores demand it, but I haven't deeply studied the subject. I bought the Terrasaur about four months ago and have carried it nearly every waking hour since. It is by far the best working knife I have ever used. The blade girth and Scandi grind make it easy to sharpen and it holds an edge for many days. The blade profile provides edges for every task. I even appreciate the aesthetic - it's a working knife: No decoration, nothing to make it look "tactical". It does not draw attention on my hip and if it did, it would just look like the tool that it is. The only flaw I noted out-of-the-box was that the reversible sheath had weaker retention of sheath-to-beltloop than sheath-to-knife, causing it to come away from the loop when drawn, but a pop rivet and carving away some handle material to accommodate the rivet fixed this. I am right-handed and will always wear it spine-forward on my right side, so giving up the reversability is no loss, but having that option to begin with seems like a plus. Otherwise, the sheath has excellent ergonomics; the pommel rides right at belt level with exactly the right degree of flexibility. The whole package tucks neatly and unobtrusively into my jeans pocket and I almost never feel it's there.

Not ready for prime time out of the box

While the Terrasaur is a nice knife and at a price that doesn't break the bank, it's hardly very sharp out of the box. Mine needed quite a bit on 2 diamond stones and the spine was not near ready for a ferro rod. The black coating was very spotty as well. C'mon Condor, sharpen this thing! Do the blade coating right and get your QC people up to speed. Attention Joe Flowers, if this is your baby you might want to check in with how they're shipping your namesake.

Good for the Price

It has a few minor fit and finish issues which is why its half the price of the Garberg

Great blade, poor sheath

I received this from Knife Center several days ago. The problem with the sheath is too much retention. I can't draw the knife one handed when the sheath is attached to my belt, and when unattached, so much force is needed to withdraw the blade, that I ended up cutting myself (minor). The sheath isn't just bad, it's dangerous. I have and use the Condor bushlore blades, and those come with Condor's leather sheaths. The leather sheaths are better, sturdy and easy to use. Potentially, the leather can get wet and rust the knife. Which is why I wanted a Condor knife with a plastic sheath. I thought Condor had said they fixed the sheath retention, but I guess not.
