LionSteel M5 Review

The LionSteel M5 survival knife with its blade tip stuck in a tree stump in front of a mountain ridge and a cloud filled blue sky.

An Endearingly Robust Field Knife To Take On Poachers With One of British author Lee Child’s coolest literary assets is his clipped, concise way of conveying fairly important thoughts.

Condor Mountaineer Trail Wingman Knife Review

The Condor Mountaineer Mountaineer Trail Wingman knife shown here with its blade tip sticking out of a tree stump in the forest.

It’s a Light Hiking Fixed Blade with a Tough Steel I love this knife for being small and comfortable. The handle just feels good to grip, even as small as it is. Plus the steel is great for camping tasks, and the blade has a grind that makes it easy to sharpen in the field …

A Middle of the Road German Chef’s Knife with a Nice Look As far as full-bolster German chef’s knives go, Gude’s Alpha series is mostly what you should expect: It’s heavy and durable and great for rock chopping.
