The Work Tuff Gear Ares-C SK85 is a purpose-built chopper with the size, strength, and presence to take on demanding outdoor work. Its massive 9.25-inch Japanese SK85 blade, full tang construction, and rugged textured G-10 handle create a hard-use package for users who expect their fixed blades to be built with substance. Finished in an aggressive apocalyptic style, the Ares-C looks every bit as tough as it’s designed to be.
The 9.25-inch chopper blade is crafted from Japanese SK85 steel, a tough carbon steel well suited to hard-use cutting applications. Its substantial size provides plenty of working edge, while the chopper profile gives the knife the forward presence and leverage you'd expect from a dedicated large fixed blade. The apocalyptic finish adds a distressed, battle-worn appearance that gives the blade plenty of character. Each section of the finish contributes to the Ares-C's rugged aesthetic, making it look like a working tool rather than a display piece.
Full tang construction runs the steel through the entire handle, creating a solid foundation from the cutting edge to the grip. This construction gives the Ares-C the reassuring feel of a serious field tool and provides the structural integrity you'd want from a large chopper. At this size, a secure and substantial build is essential, and the full tang design keeps the knife straightforward and purpose-driven.
The handle features black textured G-10 scales that provide a rugged gripping surface while complementing the dark, aggressive appearance of the blade. The pronounced texture helps promote a secure grip during demanding use, while the black finish keeps the overall design clean and professional. The substantial handle also gives you plenty of room to establish a comfortable grip on this large fixed blade.
Measuring 16.1 inches overall and weighing 38 ounces, the Ares-C SK85 is built with serious size and heft. Its 9.25-inch blade offers substantial reach, while the 38-ounce weight gives the knife a solid, purposeful feel in hand. It's a chopper for users who prefer a large fixed blade with a commanding presence and plenty of working capability.
A black Kydex sheath is included for protection and carry, featuring a belt loop for convenient attachment to your gear. The durable Kydex construction is well suited to hard outdoor use and provides a practical way to transport the Ares-C while keeping its large blade covered when not in use. The black finish complements the knife's handle and apocalyptic blade treatment.
With its Japanese SK85 steel, aggressive apocalyptic finish, full tang construction, textured black G-10 grip, and belt-loop Kydex sheath, the Work Tuff Gear Ares-C SK85 is a serious chopper built for demanding outdoor applications.
