The Work Tuff Gear Ares-C SK85 is a substantial fixed blade built for users who demand serious cutting capability from a purpose-driven outdoor tool. With its 9.25-inch chopper blade, full tang construction, and solid black G-10 handle, the Ares-C has the size and presence of a hard-use blade while maintaining a clean, professional design. From the distinctive copper-washed steel to the rugged Kydex sheath, it’s built to be carried, used, and relied upon in demanding environments.
The Ares-C features a 9.25-inch chopper blade crafted from K340 steel. This tool steel is well suited to demanding applications where toughness and edge retention are important considerations. The substantial blade profile gives the knife plenty of working surface, while its chopper configuration provides the reach and leverage you'd expect from a larger fixed blade. Whether you're working around camp, clearing vegetation, or handling other outdoor cutting chores, the Ares-C is designed to give you a powerful platform for getting the job done.
A copper-washed finish gives the blade a distinctive, rugged appearance that sets it apart from conventional satin or coated finishes. The warm copper tone creates an eye-catching contrast against the black handle while giving the Ares-C a weathered, hard-use aesthetic. Each part of the design contributes to the knife's overall character without sacrificing its straightforward working purpose.
Full tang construction runs the steel through the handle, creating a strong foundation for the entire knife. The substantial construction gives the Ares-C a solid, confidence-inspiring feel in hand and complements the large chopper blade. At this size, a dependable connection between blade and handle is essential, and the full tang design keeps the build focused on durability.
The handle is fitted with black smooth G-10 scales. Unlike heavily textured grips, smooth G-10 gives the handle a clean appearance and a comfortable feel while maintaining the durability expected from a hard-use knife. The black finish pairs naturally with the copper-washed blade for a bold but professional overall look.
Measuring 16.1 inches overall and weighing 35 ounces, the Ares-C is a serious piece of equipment. Its substantial size and weight give it a powerful presence, making it a natural choice for users who prefer larger fixed blades with plenty of working capability.
A black Kydex sheath is included for protection and carry. Durable and low maintenance, Kydex is well suited to a large field knife and complements the Ares-C's rugged construction. It provides a practical way to transport the knife while keeping the blade covered when it's not in use.
The Work Tuff Gear Ares-C SK85 brings together a large K340 chopper blade, rugged full tang construction, smooth black G-10 scales, and a durable Kydex sheath in one imposing field-ready package.
