The Work Tuff Gear Voyageur Gen 2 Fixed Knife blends frontier-inspired design with modern hard-use performance, creating a field knife that’s built to thrive in the outdoors. Designed by Mark Young and Alex of Aurora borealis knives, this rugged fixed blade pays tribute to the legendary voyageurs who traveled the harsh waterways and wilderness of early North America carrying only the gear they could trust. Tough, dependable, and highly versatile, the Voyageur Gen 2 is ready for everything from bushcraft and camp chores to extended backcountry adventures.
At the center of this capable field knife is a 5.6-inch clip point blade crafted from premium Böhler K329 steel. Known for its exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and long-lasting edge retention, K329 is built to withstand demanding use in unforgiving environments. The blade measures 0.149 inches thick and features a high-performance saber grind with a secondary convex edge, delivering excellent slicing ability while maintaining the durability needed for heavier cutting tasks. Whether you’re carving wood, processing kindling, preparing food, or handling campsite duties, the Voyageur Gen 2 performs with confidence and control.
The dark washed blade finish gives the knife a rugged, battle-worn appearance while helping reduce glare and hide signs of hard use over time. A crisp 90-degree spine enhances the knife’s bushcraft utility, making it ideal for scraping tinder or striking a ferro rod when conditions demand reliable fire-starting capability.
Built with full tang construction for maximum strength and durability, the Voyageur Gen 2 is designed to hold up through years of demanding field use. The contoured canvas Micarta handle offers excellent grip security and comfort in wet, cold, or dirty conditions. Its ergonomic shape supports multiple grip positions including hammer, pinch, reverse, and chest lever grips, allowing the knife to adapt naturally to a wide variety of cutting tasks. The canvas Micarta also develops character with use, giving the knife an even more seasoned outdoor look over time.
Measuring 10.1 inches overall and weighing 10 ounces, the Voyageur Gen 2 strikes an ideal balance between carry comfort and serious cutting capability. An OD green Kydex sheath is included for secure retention and dependable field carry, keeping the knife protected and ready for action wherever the trail leads.
Rooted in the spirit of exploration and built with premium modern materials, the Work Tuff Gear Voyageur Gen 2 is a hardworking companion you can count on when conditions get tough.
