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.

The Maxsa Blade camping chef knife sticking out of a tree stump in front of a campfire in the forest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

It’s a Big Blade that’s Good for Cooking and Okay at Most Everything Else at the Campsite Key Takeaways: There’s nothing quite like a big, bone-cracking, cleaver-esque knife with a gut hook for campfire cooking.
