The Work Tuff Gear Ares-C SK85 is a substantial chopper built for users who demand serious size, rugged construction, and dependable field performance. With a massive 9.25-inch Japanese SK85 blade, full tang construction, and a jungle camo textured G-10 handle, it’s designed to handle demanding outdoor work while maintaining a distinctive, professional appearance. The hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish gives this large fixed blade an unmistakably rugged character.
The 9.25-inch blade is crafted from Japanese SK85 steel, a tough carbon steel chosen for hard-use applications. Its substantial length provides plenty of working edge, while the chopper profile delivers the size and presence you'd expect from a purpose-built large fixed blade. Whether you're working around camp, clearing vegetation, or handling other demanding outdoor chores, the Ares-C gives you a substantial blade with plenty of reach and working surface.
Adding to the blade's character is its hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish. This distinctive treatment creates a weathered, distressed appearance with natural variation across the steel, giving each knife a rugged look that's difficult to duplicate. The finish complements the Ares-C's hard-use design and gives it the appearance of a tool ready for serious field work rather than a knife made simply for display.
Full tang construction extends the SK85 steel completely through the handle, creating a solid and dependable foundation. This straightforward construction gives the Ares-C a substantial feel and reinforces its role as a large fixed-blade chopper. The full tang design also provides the reassuring durability you'd expect when putting a knife of this size to work.
The handle features jungle camo textured G-10 scales, combining a rugged appearance with a secure gripping surface. The camouflage pattern gives the knife a distinctly outdoors-oriented look, while the textured G-10 helps promote positive control in demanding conditions. Its generous proportions complement the large blade and provide plenty of room for a comfortable grip.
At 16.1 inches overall and weighing 38 ounces, the Ares-C SK85 is unapologetically substantial. The combination of its long blade and significant weight gives it a commanding presence in hand. It's a serious fixed blade for users who appreciate the leverage, reach, and working capability that come with a large chopper.
A black Kydex sheath is included for practical blade protection and carry. Durable and easy to maintain, Kydex is a natural match for a hard-use fixed blade. Its black finish provides a clean contrast against the hand-rubbed blade and jungle camo G-10 handle while keeping the overall package rugged and professional.
With its Japanese SK85 blade, hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish, full tang construction, textured jungle camo G-10 grip, and black Kydex sheath, the Work Tuff Gear Ares-C is built to be a serious outdoor tool.
