The Work Tuff Gear Lanzeta-NC Fixed Knife is a mission-ready field blade inspired by the legendary Filipino bowie and built for modern hard-use performance. Designed for demanding outdoor environments and serious operational use, the Lanzeta-NC combines aggressive cutting power, rugged durability, and field-focused versatility into a formidable fixed blade platform. From wilderness survival and camp work to defensive applications and extended field operations, this knife is engineered to perform when failure isn’t an option.
Measuring 13.8 inches overall, the Lanzeta-NC features a commanding 8.5-inch tracker-style blade crafted from thick .23-inch Japanese SK85 carbon steel. Known for its toughness, edge stability, and ease of maintenance in the field, SK85 is heat treated with a double temper process to achieve a reliable 56-58 HRC hardness. This gives the blade excellent durability while allowing for quick resharpening when conditions are rough and tools are limited.
The hand-applied rugged splatter apocalyptic finish gives each blade a battle-worn, one-of-a-kind appearance while helping disguise scratches and wear from prolonged hard use. Combined with the aggressive profile and forward-heavy design, the Lanzeta-NC projects pure field-ready capability from every angle.
Its saber grind with convex edge provides a highly versatile cutting platform designed to excel across multiple tasks. The forward portion of the blade delivers strong chopping power for clearing brush, splitting kindling, and processing heavier material, while the rear section offers greater precision for carving, controlled slicing, and finer camp tasks. The Non-Choil design maximizes usable cutting edge, giving you uninterrupted performance along nearly the entire 8.4-inch edge length.
The full tang construction provides dependable structural integrity under heavy use, while the skeletonized tang design helps reduce unnecessary weight without compromising strength. The removable Zombie Green Camo G10 handle scales are 3D-machined for superior ergonomics and long-term comfort during extended use. Rounded contours eliminate pressure points and hot spots, ensuring a secure grip whether working barehanded or with gloves in wet or demanding conditions.
A precision-ground 90-degree spine allows the knife to throw sparks cleanly from a ferro rod, making it an effective survival companion when fire-starting matters most. The knife comes equipped with a handmade OD green Kydex sheath and custom belt loop for secure retention and dependable carry in the field.
Built with the spirit of the traditional Filipino bowie and refined for modern operations, the Work Tuff Gear Lanzeta-NC is a heavy-duty cutting tool designed to thrive in unforgiving environments.
