CondorTool & Knife Lost Roman Fixed Blade Knife - 1075 High Carbon Steel - Hand Crafted Welted Leather Sheath - Walnut Handle - 4.9 inches Blade - 3mm Thick - 7.3 ounce

Behold the Glory of Rome! Ok maybe that’s a bit much but it is a very cool knife and feels like a piece of history even though it’s an interpretation of an ancient piece. It’s fun to use but it feels like my finger wants to slide onto the blade so I use a lanyard loop for extra security.

Overall this is a fairly handsome knife, but I had to show it some love with a few grit stones and polish to get the edge to be good. Out of the box the edge was uneven and "jagged" with sharp spots and dull spots. Spent about an hour with my sharpening stones rehoning the edge. Now it's razor sharp. The knife is also heat treated pretty hard, it skated right off my ceramic while sharpening so be prepared for this blade to be hard to resharpen, but should hold the edge a while once it's on.

This knife is among my favorites. I put it on my belt almost every day.

I bought this solely because I'm a pocket knife collector of sorts and this was someone'spocket knife almost 2000 years ago. So neat to think about. Plus, I love the design and look. Condor makes a great product that's affordable.

I have a lot of Condors and each one is great. Mind you I'm only saying this about the ones I own. There are some that don't capture my attention; and I don't buy them. But the ones in my possession are all excellent. This one is no different.

To start with it is well made as I have come to expect from Condor. Fills good in the hand. Came sharp and the finish is well done. But all I can say is this knife just looks sexy. Put two of them back-to-back and it would look like a women's figure.

I love the overall looks and feel of this knife, it's light weight and ergonomic to me. It's copied from an archaeological find in Great Britain I believe. I would need to do more research about it's history but I have seen a quick picture on a YouTube video from Blade HQ. I personally have not used the knife and mostly intend to display it as a conversation piece perhaps. It feels quite capable if I did want to use it for it's intended purpose however. I think that it's a fair price for what it is and it looks and feels great.
