The Work Tuff Gear Mt. Laguna Fixed Knife is a compact field and hunting blade designed for outdoorsmen who demand dependable performance in a practical, easy-to-carry package. Created by Jon “Wingman115,” the Mt. Laguna reflects a deeply personal connection to the outdoors, honoring the memory of his grandfather and parents where his journey began in the rugged terrain of Mt. Laguna. Built with purpose and crafted by hand in Taiwan, this knife combines thoughtful ergonomics, premium materials, and field-ready versatility into a capable all-around outdoor companion.
Measuring 8.25 inches overall, the Mt. Laguna features a versatile 4-inch drop point blade crafted from .196-inch-thick Bohler K110 steel, the European equivalent of D2 tool steel. Carefully heat treated to 57-59 RC with a double tempering process, the blade offers an excellent balance of toughness, edge retention, flexibility, and ease of field maintenance. Whether you're dressing game, preparing camp materials, or handling everyday outdoor cutting tasks, the Mt. Laguna is built to perform reliably under demanding conditions.
The saber grind paired with a convex cutting edge delivers efficient slicing performance while maintaining the durability needed for heavier use. Its drop point blade shape provides excellent control for detailed cutting and piercing tasks, making it equally at home on the hunt, around camp, or packed into a survival kit. The topo blade finish adds a rugged visual style inspired by topographic mapping while helping set this knife apart from standard field blades.
The full tang construction ensures dependable strength throughout the knife, while the removable 3D-machined black G-10 handle scales with red liners provide both durability and comfort. Rounded contours eliminate hot spots during prolonged use, creating a secure grip that feels natural in the hand whether working barehanded or wearing gloves. The ergonomic design supports precision control while remaining comfortable during extended field tasks.
Built with survival utility in mind, the precision-ground 90-degree spine works exceptionally well with a ferro rod, allowing for efficient spark generation when fire-starting in harsh outdoor environments. Weighing just 8.1 ounces, the Mt. Laguna remains lightweight and easy to carry without sacrificing durability or cutting performance.
The knife includes a rugged black taco-style Kydex sheath made from thick .08-inch material for dependable retention and protection. Each sheath comes equipped with a black Tek Lok belt attachment for versatile carry options in the field.
Compact, capable, and deeply rooted in outdoor tradition, the Work Tuff Gear Mt. Laguna is built to handle real-world adventures with confidence and reliability.
