The Work Tuff Gear Boreno K329 is a large, purpose-built parang designed for users who demand substantial reach, rugged construction, and serious cutting capability from a fixed blade. With its imposing 12.5-inch K329 steel blade, full tang construction, and black textured G-10 handle, the Boreno is built with the size and presence of a dedicated outdoor tool. Its hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish gives the blade a distinctive, weathered character that complements its hard-use design.
The 12.5-inch parang blade is crafted from K329 steel and provides an impressive amount of working edge. Its elongated profile gives the Boreno considerable reach, while the parang design offers the forward presence you'd expect from a large chopping tool. The saber grind provides a substantial blade geometry, while the convex edge adds a smooth, robust cutting profile suited to demanding outdoor work.
A hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish gives the blade a rugged, distressed appearance with natural variations across the steel. This treatment creates an individual look for the knife and gives the Boreno the character of a field tool that's ready to work. The distinctive finish also provides a strong contrast against the black G-10 handle, creating an aggressive yet professional overall appearance.
The Boreno uses full tang construction, extending the K329 steel completely through the handle. This creates a solid foundation from blade to grip and gives the knife a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel. With a blade this large, the full tang design reinforces the Boreno's hard-use character and keeps the construction straightforward and purpose-driven.
The handle features black textured G-10 scales, providing a durable gripping surface that complements the substantial blade. The textured finish helps promote secure handling, while the black color maintains the knife's clean, professional appearance. The generous handle provides plenty of room for a comfortable grip and balances the Boreno's long blade.
At 19.1 inches overall and weighing 30.7 ounces, the Boreno K329 is a serious piece of equipment. Its 12.5-inch blade delivers considerable reach and working surface, while its weight gives the knife a solid feel without making it excessively heavy for its size. It's designed for users who prefer a large fixed blade with plenty of presence and capability.
A black Kydex sheath is included for blade protection and carry. Durable and low maintenance, Kydex is a practical match for a large outdoor knife and provides a reliable way to keep the Boreno protected when it's not in use. The black sheath complements the textured G-10 handle and maintains the knife's rugged, understated aesthetic.
With its K329 steel parang blade, hand-rubbed apocalyptic finish, saber grind, convex edge, full tang construction, and black textured G-10 grip, the Work Tuff Gear Boreno K329 is a substantial fixed blade built for demanding outdoor applications.
