Condor 81 SSG - Seizo Imai Seki Japan - Serial #A1-00673
This thing is a beast ! The fit and finish is amazing, but not unexpected from a Japanese maker. The blade steel is AUS-8, with stainless steel bolsters, linen micarta scales, and brass liners. From what I can tell online, this pre dates the Secnos 81 SSG series (which is not numbered) I've seen prices (sold) in the $175 - $250 range, I paid far less ...

Very nice T.J.! I've been eye-balling those for awhile now, but am yet to pull the trigger for one! Enjoy your new knife!

Looks like a knife designed for some heavy duty cutting.

Welp,
Looks like me now be going, and adding condor to my knife "buy it" list.
Good lookin' folder Tj; looks almost heavy enough, to cut acoustic strings...

Re: The Condor has landed !
Thanks all !
Like I said, this thing is a beast. Opening and closing, you get that satisfying "clack" sound of the blade. I can't stop playing with it.
If anyone knows anything more about this particular blade, I'd love to hear it. As is, I only know whats written on the blade really.

Great looking knife, Tomjammer. I too like Condors, but I think all of mine were made in South America (El Salvador). I haven't picked up a folder from them . . . yet.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I bought this identical knife years ago but with gray micarta handles. It is a beast for sure and a gator snap. I wasn’t aware that it is Japanese made but I’m not surprised. They make great cutlery.Toejammer wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 4:35 pm Condor 81 SSG - Seizo Imai Seki Japan - Serial #A1-00673
