The Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 Fixed Knife is a hard-use survival blade built for those who demand strength, versatility, and dependable performance in the field. Inspired by the fierce and resilient wolverine, this medium-sized powerhouse bridges the gap between compact outdoor knives and larger chopping tools, delivering impressive capability in a balanced and highly controllable package. Designed to excel in demanding environments, the Wolverine Gen 2 incorporates key upgrades that make it tougher, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before.
At the center of the Wolverine Gen 2 is a robust 6.7-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Böhler K329 steel. Upgraded from previous steel offerings, K329 provides exceptional toughness, edge stability, and durability, making it an ideal choice for survival, bushcraft, and heavy outdoor use. The blade measures 0.187 inches thick, providing the strength necessary for batoning, light chopping, and other demanding field tasks. Finished in a striking two-tone ghost treatment, the blade combines rugged functionality with a distinctive appearance that stands out while remaining purpose-built for hard use.
The saber grind with a convex edge delivers an excellent balance between cutting efficiency and edge durability. This geometry allows the knife to handle a wide variety of tasks, from processing wood and preparing camp materials to carving, slicing, and detailed bushcraft work. The addition of a false edge improves penetration and thrusting performance while contributing to the knife's aggressive profile. A thumb ramp enhances control during precision cuts, making detailed carving and feather sticking surprisingly comfortable for a blade of this size.
Built on a full tang construction, the Wolverine Gen 2 offers outstanding structural integrity and reliability. The enlarged Gen 2 handle features 3D-machined natural canvas Micarta scales that provide a secure, comfortable grip in all weather conditions. The ergonomic design fills the hand naturally, reducing fatigue during extended use while offering excellent control during both heavy and detailed cutting tasks. Over time, the canvas Micarta develops its own unique character, reflecting the adventures and use of its owner.
A crisp 90-degree spine adds critical survival functionality, allowing users to efficiently scrape tinder and strike a ferro rod for reliable fire starting in the field. Measuring 11.8 inches overall and weighing 15.3 ounces, the Wolverine Gen 2 offers the reach and power needed for demanding outdoor work while remaining balanced and manageable.
Paired with a durable OD green Kydex sheath for secure retention and reliable carry, the Work Tuff Gear Wolverine Gen 2 is a serious field companion built to perform when conditions are at their toughest.
