The Work Tuff Gear PWB-7-C Puzon Wilderness Bowie is a rugged fixed blade built around the timeless spirit of the American frontier and the practical demands of modern wilderness travel. Drawing inspiration from classic Bowie knives, Filipino bolo knives, and legendary frontiersmen, its design blends traditional character with the strength and versatility expected from a serious outdoor tool.
At 13.8 inches overall with a substantial 7.3-inch Bowie blade, the PWB-7-C has the presence and reach needed for demanding camp and field chores. Its 0.196-inch-thick SK85 steel blade is built for hard use, with a saber grind flowing into a convex cutting edge that balances durability with capable cutting performance. The HRA (Hand Rub APO) finish gives the blade a distinctive, work-worn appearance that complements its purpose-built character, while the 56-58 RC hardness provides a solid foundation for dependable edge performance.
Built with full-tang construction, the PWB-7-C is designed to handle the rigors of serious outdoor use. Whether you're processing firewood, preparing a campsite, building shelter, working around camp, or processing game, this Bowie is made to be a dependable companion when versatility matters. Its broad profile and substantial construction give it the feel of a knife that's ready to work rather than simply sit on display.
The handle features 3D-machined black G-10 scales, providing a durable, lightweight grip that complements the knife's rugged construction. At 19.5 ounces, the PWB-7-C carries enough heft to inspire confidence without becoming excessively cumbersome on the belt. A taco-style black Kydex sheath is included, bringing the total carry weight to 23 ounces and providing a practical way to protect and transport the knife in the field.
The Puzon Wilderness Bowie is more than a nod to the legendary knives of the past. It's a modern interpretation of the dependable wilderness blade—the kind of tool you reach for when the job is demanding and reliability counts. With its classic Bowie profile, full-tang SK85 construction, hand-rubbed finish, and black G-10 grip, the PWB-7-C is built to carry the spirit of adventure into the modern outdoors.
