Got the knives all out for some outdoorsmanship this past weekend and they all did great. Light bataning, feather-sticking, notch-carving for a pot-hanger, made some tent-pegs (and hardened by the fire), and struck the ferro rod with all of 'em.
We had to be cautious of banging around the handle of the Mora, and the wood scales on the Condor soak up the water, so that's a concern but all in all - they did great and I'm loving this BK16 (just traded my Bone Collector for another BK16 with Micarta scales).
FYI, if you're looking for a good deal on a cheapie fixed-blade, Benchmade has discontinued their Lone Wolf Hunter (Decent 8cr Chinese steel) and Knife Works has a special going on for $20:
