The Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 Fixed Knife is a rugged survival blade designed to strike the perfect balance between compact field knives and oversized choppers. Inspired by the wolverine itself—a fierce and relentless predator that roams the harsh boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere—this knife embodies toughness, versatility, and unwavering reliability. Built for demanding outdoor use, the Gen 2 introduces several key refinements that make an already capable design even more effective in the field.
At the heart of the Wolverine Gen 2 is a formidable 6.7-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Böhler K329 steel. Upgraded from previous generations, K329 offers exceptional toughness, edge stability, and durability, making it an outstanding choice for survival and bushcraft applications. The blade features a satin finish that highlights its clean lines while providing a classic, functional appearance. Measuring 0.187 inches thick, the blade delivers the strength required for heavy-duty tasks while maintaining excellent cutting performance.
The saber grind with a convex edge allows the Wolverine Gen 2 to excel across a wide range of outdoor tasks. Whether splitting kindling, processing firewood, preparing camp materials, or carving detailed notches, the blade offers an ideal blend of cutting efficiency and durability. A newly added false edge improves penetration and thrusting performance while enhancing the knife's aggressive profile. The robust drop point design provides excellent tip strength without sacrificing versatility.
Purpose-built as a survival tool, the Wolverine Gen 2 features a sharp 90-degree spine that's ready for scraping tinder and striking a ferro rod, ensuring dependable fire-starting capability when conditions are at their toughest. The thumb ramp enhances control during precision work, making detailed carving and feather sticking surprisingly comfortable for a knife of this size.
The full tang construction provides maximum strength and reliability throughout the knife. The enlarged Gen 2 handle features 3D-machined black G-10 scales that offer exceptional grip security and comfort. Resistant to moisture, impact, and environmental wear, the textured G-10 handle delivers confidence in wet, cold, or muddy conditions. Its ergonomic shape fills the hand naturally, reducing fatigue during extended use and improving overall control.
Measuring 11.8 inches overall and weighing 15.3 ounces, the Wolverine Gen 2 is substantial enough for serious fieldwork while remaining manageable for everyday outdoor carry. A durable black Kydex sheath provides secure retention and reliable carry, keeping the knife protected and ready for action.
Built without gimmicks and designed to perform when it matters most, the Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 is a dependable companion for bushcraft, survival, and hard-use outdoor adventures.
