The Work Tuff Gear Ares-C is built around one simple idea: when you need a serious chopper, you need a blade that can handle serious work. With its substantial 9.25-inch K340 steel blade, full tang construction, and solid black G-10 handle, the Ares-C brings plenty of size and strength to demanding outdoor tasks. Its darkwashed finish and all-business profile give it the rugged appearance of a tool that's ready to earn its place in the field.
The 9.25-inch chopper blade is crafted from K340 steel and features a darkwashed finish. Its broad, purpose-driven profile gives the Ares-C the cutting presence you'd expect from a dedicated chopper, while the extended edge provides plenty of working surface for larger outdoor chores. The darkwash finish gives the blade a subdued, weathered appearance that complements the knife's hard-use character and helps conceal the marks that naturally develop through regular use.
Full tang construction reinforces the Ares-C from the blade through the handle. Rather than relying on a separate hidden tang or lightweight construction, the steel runs continuously through the grip, creating a solid foundation for the entire knife. This gives the Ares-C the substantial feel you'd expect from a large fixed blade and helps it stand up to demanding work.
The handle is fitted with smooth black G-10 scales, giving the knife a clean, understated appearance while providing a durable gripping surface. The smooth finish creates a refined contrast against the darkwashed blade, while the substantial handle gives you plenty of material to work with when handling a knife of this size. Its proportions are designed to complement the large chopper blade and provide a confident grip.
At 16.1 inches overall and weighing 35 ounces, the Ares-C is unapologetically substantial. This isn't a compact belt knife designed to disappear into your gear. It's a large fixed blade built for users who appreciate reach, leverage, and the working presence of a dedicated chopper. The additional weight gives it a solid feel in hand and reinforces its role as a heavy-duty outdoor tool.
The Ares-C includes a black Kydex sheath for protection and carry. Durable and low maintenance, Kydex is a practical match for a large fixed blade, providing a rugged platform for transporting the knife while keeping the blade covered when it's not in use. The black finish maintains the Ares-C's clean, professional appearance from blade to sheath.
With its large K340 chopper blade, full tang construction, smooth black G-10 handle, and durable Kydex sheath, the Work Tuff Gear Ares-C is a substantial fixed blade designed for demanding outdoor use.
