I ran across these in doing some research. There are a few threads on here that mention it, but not many. It seems like a steal for the price! I would much rather throw $50 at this than a Condor!
Anybody using one currently? Opinions?

I am also curious to hear from some folks who have used it, it certainly looks like a good woodlore clone, but i'm not sure how the 440 stainless will handle a scandi grind.
If the heat treat is good and the edge holds up, it will definately be a contender though.
Personally, I have heard too much good about condor, and not much about Boker....I also am very afraid of all 440 that doesn't say "Buck USA" on it. Also this is made in China...and though Condor is an import, I still prefer El Salvador made and avoid China made for personal reasons. If you do get it and it works out, super, I wouldn't discount Condor based on looks however due to the great reviews here and elsewhere based on looks alone. I'm likely pulling the trigger on a Condor Hudson Bay this weekend meself.

Boker's 440 heat treat is legend, Id be interested to see how it holds up
Pick one up and let us know...not sure I would use it as a reason to avoid Condor though. I've heard about some edge rolling issues with this particular blade and that the sheath isn't great quality (I happen to think that Condor offers a great sheath for purchasing a $30-$40 knife)...not to mention that the one Condor I have takes a fantastic edge (the Woodlore). They are both good options, I wouldn't let one dethrone the other before putting 'em to work.
