The Work Tuff Gear Bear Claw II SKS51 is a substantial fixed blade built for users who want serious reach, rugged construction, and dependable performance in the field. With its 10.7-inch SKS51 tool steel blade, full tang construction, and brown burlap micarta handle, the Bear Claw II has the size and presence of a dedicated outdoor workhorse. Its darkwashed blade finish gives the knife a rugged, weathered appearance that pairs naturally with the earthy tones of the micarta grip.
The 10.7-inch drop point blade is crafted from SKS51 tool steel and features a saber grind. The drop point profile provides a strong tip while maintaining a broad, useful cutting belly, giving the Bear Claw II a versatile shape for a wide range of outdoor and utility tasks. The saber grind creates a robust blade geometry suited to hard-use applications, giving the knife the substantial character you'd expect from a large fixed blade.
A darkwash finish completes the blade, creating a subdued, weathered appearance that complements the knife's rugged design. The finish gives the Bear Claw II a distinctive look while helping mask the scratches and marks that naturally develop as a working knife sees regular use. Its darker tone also creates a sharp contrast with the warm brown burlap micarta handle.
Full tang construction extends the SKS51 steel through the handle, creating a solid foundation from blade to grip. This straightforward construction gives the Bear Claw II a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel and reinforces its hard-use character. The full tang design is especially well suited to a large fixed blade intended for demanding outdoor work.
The handle is fitted with brown burlap micarta scales, providing an earthy appearance and a rugged gripping surface. The natural-looking burlap pattern gives the knife a classic field-tool aesthetic, while micarta's durable construction makes it a practical choice for a hard-use handle. The brown tone pairs exceptionally well with the darkwashed blade, creating a cohesive and understated appearance.
At 15.1 inches overall and weighing 26.1 ounces, the Bear Claw II offers substantial working length without reaching the extreme weight of some larger choppers. The 10.7-inch blade provides plenty of reach and cutting surface, while the 26.1-ounce weight keeps the knife manageable enough for practical field carry.
The Bear Claw II includes a black Kydex sheath with belt carry for convenient transportation and blade protection. Durable and low maintenance, Kydex is well suited to outdoor environments and complements the knife's rugged construction. The black sheath provides a clean contrast against the brown micarta handle and darkwashed blade.
With its SKS51 tool steel construction, saber-ground drop point blade, full tang build, brown burlap micarta grip, and practical belt-carry sheath, the Work Tuff Gear Bear Claw II SKS51 is a serious fixed blade ready for demanding outdoor use.
