Well I haven't really used it for anything serious but it seems stout enough for anything a boy scout might use it for.

It has carbon steel which can rust it you let it, comes razor sharp and you can do some light batoning work. It will be a good BOB knife especially for it's price.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

The Condor blade is very strong and pretty easy to sharpen. I recently use it to chop some hedges down and the blade held up. These hedges are not your run of the mill bushes but are hard wooded. My arm gave out before the Condor did. You won't go wrong with this knife.

I did for my brother. Initials and birthdate.. no problem so far with the knife.

I'm know expert- but I would say yes. It seems like a very solid knife, single piece of steel, well balanced, and has good weight to it. We throw it into the end of cut logs which make excellent targets.

The knife works great depending on your skill level would i split logs with it no way it feather strips well Good for carving skinning small game and many other small chores full tang is allways better but mora is well known for reliability i prefer use of an axe over a knife anyday for shelter and fire wood building a small hatchet and my mora and the trail ahead

I have a 12 yr old son and I didn't allow him to take any of mine, even though he wanted to. My son has a lot of knife experience and I was nervous about him having this knife. In my opinion, no, this isn't the right choice for a 12 yr old.

Yes it's a good survival tool. Lightweight, ergonomic, sharp, and versatile. Comes with nice sharpening stone. Hammer end opposite the blade is very handy.

I would consider a different knife for bushcraft. This particular blade isn't really suited for it. Check out the Condor Bushlore, or if you wish to stay with the tactical style the kbar BK2. That's a pretty sick blade.

I think so. My young chefs use this to coarsely cut tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, etc. (not possible with our butter knives.) The blade is not very long, but it is effective as a knife for young cooks and the handle is perfectly sized for a smaller hand. We have used this for months now, and it is still as sharp as when we got it, without actually sharpening the blade.

I am a Scoutmaster and have both of these knives. In spite of the fact that scouting requires folding knives this would be a good primary knife. it's full tang and has a paracord which you can use if the situation comes. The ultimate pro is an excellent knife but is too big for scouting activities.

YES it is a good knife for anyone that needs it. PS: Dull knife is dangerous!

The knife overall is pretty robust and I have used it for batoning with no problems. I do see the wood handle might break if hit while batoning, so I plan on replacing it with paracord more than likely!

I think it's an excellent knife for a hunter. I love mine, and carry it every day. It has a good balance, feels great in your hand, easy to open and has a sharp blade. He'll love it.

Yes, it would make an excellent pairing knife! it's a little short to do much else though. Make sure to use mineral oil or a food safe water barrier, as the carbon steel is prone to rusting if left unattended.

It would depend on the young man. I wouldn't give it to anyone that hasn't mastered the basics of the pocket knife. You can hurt yourself with any kind if sharp or dull blade even a serrated one.
