The CK&T Hudson Bay has a quality, large carbon steel utility blade. It took a shaving edge in a few minutes using a crock stick and razor strop. The Hudson's blade also has a nice, hammered finish that its adds to its period appeal.

The handle however is all but useless for heavy work. Its scales are ridiculously thin and slick for the size and weight of the blade. A US Quarter overhangs the scales, viewed from the top.

The sheath is quality leather and would be at home on a leather gun belt; but the loop is too small for anything but a pants belt.

This turned out to be rebuild project instead of a ready-to-go hard-use knife, proven over centuries. You had ONE JOB Condor and you screwed it up. Jim Bridger and Hugh Glass are rolling over in their graves.
