Designed by Joe Flowers, the Condor Wayfinder is an all around handy bushcrafting knife. Just like with the Bushglider, this knife has all you need in a bushcrafting knife. It has quality materials, good construction, and it’s still at a budget friendly $68. It also has a couple of other incidentals that set it apart from the rest.
Attached to the full tang with rivets, the Wayfinder has contoured walnut hand scales for a comfortable grip. It also has an exposed striker pommel and brass lanyard tube. In the center of the grip is a steel bow-drill divot. Now, we’ve seen the divot in a knife handle before, but we think this might be the only budget friendly bushcrafter with steel bow drill divot. 
Obviously, this is a handy feature because if you use the knife as intended, and successfully get some coals burning in your wood knife handle a steel divot probably won’t burn. Thus, it will also hopefully protect your knife handle.
The 5.25” leaf-shaped 1095 carbon steel blade has a natural finish and a blade thickness of 0.11”. It has a 90-degree spine for use with a ferro rod and a Scandi grind. We like that there’s a slight thumb ramp on this knife because it increases its utility with that broad blade shape. It comes with a handcrafted, welted leather sheath with a belt loop attachment. It has an overall length of 10.125” and weighs about 7.27 ounces.
