The Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 Fixed Blade is a rugged, purpose-built survival knife designed for users who demand strength, control, and versatility in the field. Built around a full-tang Böhler K329 blade, this medium-sized fixed blade bridges the gap between compact utility knives and larger choppers. Its vintage Tiger Stripes finish gives it a distinctive, weathered appearance, while the black textured G-10 handle provides the secure grip needed when the work gets demanding.
The Gen 2 Wolverine brings several important refinements to the original design. The handle has been slightly enlarged to create a fuller, more secure grip, improving comfort and control during extended use. The blade steel has also been upgraded from SK85/A8Max to Böhler K329, providing enhanced toughness and edge stability at a 57-59 RC hardness. A false edge has been added to improve penetration and increase efficiency during thrusting tasks, giving this Wolverine even more versatility in the field.
The 6.7-inch drop point blade features a substantial 0.187-inch thickness and a 6.5-inch cutting edge. Its saber grind transitions into a convex edge, delivering a strong cutting geometry that's well suited to a wide range of outdoor tasks. The robust construction gives the Wolverine enough backbone for batoning and light chopping, while the refined edge and ergonomic design allow for more controlled work such as carving, notching, and feather sticking.
A pronounced thumb ramp provides an additional point of control, helping you maintain a secure grip when applying pressure or performing detailed cuts. The 3D machined G-10 handle complements the knife's rugged construction with a durable, comfortable grip designed for dependable handling in demanding conditions.
The Wolverine Gen 2 is also equipped with a sharp 90-degree spine that can be used with a fire steel, reinforcing its role as a practical survival and camp companion. At 11.8 inches overall and weighing 15.3 ounces, it offers substantial capability without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome. It's large enough to handle demanding chores while remaining nimble enough for detailed fieldcraft.
A black Kydex sheath is included for secure carry and convenient transport, bringing the total weight to 19.05 ounces. Whether you're processing firewood, preparing kindling, building camp, carving, or tackling general survival tasks, the Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 is built to perform without unnecessary gimmicks or excess.
