New Work Tuff Gear at Blade Show West 2023 - KnifeCenter.com

[@The4cp]

Work Tuff has quickly became top of the industry. Real big tuff blades.

[@dhn.]

Did they replace Esee?

[@clintwestwood3539]

@@dhn.for me yes 1095 at their pricepoint is mental.

[@TheScotchaholic]

​@clintwestwood3539 What is being paid for with an Esse, is their outstanding warranty. Essentially you're buying two knives - a current and future replacement, for those who really thrash/abuse and neglect their blades. If Work Tuff Gear had a similar no questions asked warranty, you could expect a way higher price point. WTG only has a 6 month warranty after purchase - they obviously think purchasers will use their tools appropriately....

[@clintwestwood3539]

@@TheScotchaholic Lame excuse considering how that’s the price of three knives in 1095. You have Slavs doing custom works at 200/220€ with CPM steel like Magnacut and S390 or M390. It’s unjustifiable to ask more than 80€ for a slab of 1095 even with a decent warranty. Keep on buying them tho, I’m glad they are going outside 1095 lately with A2 and Magnacut and said they will keep on doing this. Using 1095 in 2023 for knives (not machetes) is mind boggling.

[@clintwestwood3539]

@@TheScotchaholic Don’t you have companies selling 80crv2 (arguably better @ 60 to 62 hrc) like Rokks at 100€ with the same warranty? It’s insane to justify it lmao I’m just glad people are tired of it and they are going for A2 and Magnacut now.

Thank you Rich for being an awesome WTG ambassador 👍

[@d.b.hemlock]

Hell yeah way to go Work Tuff Gear!

[@Molonlabe07]

WTG is the best fixed blade company in the industry. Amazing designs, amazing fit and finish, amazing heat treat. I just picked up the gen 2 puzon bowie that dropped today, cannot wait for it to get here Tuesday.

[@timtitus2532]

Love the work tuff stuff, everything they do is fantastic. Thanks for the video David.

[@redrustyhill2]

Except have blades in stock......

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

I don't know how big the batches of knives Vic and crew make but new knife drops sell out in literally seconds

[@Dulitzlives]

Joe X loved the areis

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Love that Power Hammer.

[@richardgalope1526]

Thank you David for giving me the opportunity to represent WTG in this video, also a huge thank you for leading the way on this review; my brain was going a thousand miles per hour from running the table solo 😂

[@knifecenter]

My pleasure and great hanging out with you good sir! Keep it up! -DCA

[@SnAzZingtoN115]

Can't wait for WT to start remanufacturing the Kaviaz, I couldn't get one last time they were in stock.

[@the_swinging_axe]

Dang now im in to work tough! Great interview

[@phillipcraddock8248]

I love work tuff gear knives,It would be so nice to be able to get one they are never available

[@林昱志-g3y]

Definitely recommend ATAYAL-XL

[@wellregulated8725]

I really wish my WTG V44X Bowie was ready in time for Blade Show West… but it wasn’t quite ready. Hopefully I can get back to Blade Show East next year. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@GrimLocke161]

I'm not much of a fixed blade fan, but the Ares has my attention.

[@InnerCityPigeon]

I'm getting 2 of those XL Atayals for sure. I want to run around the woods slashing everything I see like a human Scyther.

[@Kez-f7y]

Sheeesh, thats sum tuff stuff!

[@adamkolb113]

Bad ass !!! Every one of those

[@oferbechor1579]

Thank you

[@DONK0]

Waiting for the ares. But why switch to k340 instead of sk85?

[@d.b.hemlock]

I did the first runs in SK85 at 5/16 thick and they are an absolute beast. So this last batch I went with Bohler K340 and 1/4" thick to lighten the load slightly, and provide a much longer lasting edge. Bohler K340 shares similar properties to CPM 3V and holds an edge very nicely. The K340 versions are just as tough as the SK85 versions and from my testing do stay sharper longer. Especially when battoning through some tough stuff. 🤘

[@DONK0]

@@d.b.hemlock wow! Thanks for the reply! Legend.

[@silentstryker1590]

The Aries kinda looks like it's modeled after the blades in God of War. Or maybe it's just the name that puts it in my mind.

[@OmegaCaldereroid]

JOE THE FLOW OUR BRO IS MY TOP FAVOU GUY AMONG THE DESIGNERS...

[@EggsOverSleazy]

7:28 when DCA backs up a smidge. I would have too man. 😂

[@powersww1reset]

A little blade heavy, I’d say

[@babagadoush1]

Badass

[@NJames-dh6kz]

DCA is like a kid on Christmas morning at these blade shows.

[@StevenSeiller]

🔪 🔪 Welcome to: Two Guys Giggling over Knives!

[@wingmanjim6]

Now, if they were just ever in stock........

[@tomassanesson902]

awesome

[@calebgoldberg5245]

When will the mt man be coming to knife center!?

[@cylentone]

Thanks for sharing guys - but what camera & audio are you using? 😳🙉

[@alexandervivohnai4919]

Knife Center, please stock up on more WTG.

[@splinterdevilblood6366]

Almost 300 dollar wall hangers. Also worth noting this is about half of their stock.

[@profesorEDC]

WT a suggestion train your personel to know what they are selling. Good looking stuff but David did all the work. Good for ya DCA👌

[@CthonicSoulChicken]

David C. Anderson "swells in all the right places" too. 😂

[@Ajaxykins]

I dig that joe flowers... ninjuko?

[@richardgalope1526]

Correct or I like to call it the Tactical Pukko 😂

[@redrustyhill2]

I want one. Been looking a long time, always out of stock, along with 90% of their knives. Wtf. Do they only make 10/month???

[@jimhensen2811]

Red Wolf?

[@Mo.89.]

Is it me or did WTG just appear out of nowhere to dominate hard use fixed blades?

[@colinburgess9455]

When Work Tuff becomes a real company I might patronise their them. They give knives away to reviewers, but I’m unlikely to find one when I actually have the money to spend, they seem to be laughing at me, and I do have some expensive high end knives, the trouble is WTK doesn’t care about the common man.

[@mikeizzo1993]

Does this guy work for the company?

[@jaysgood10]

He’s just sitting in for you.

[@2017Toy]

I would love to have a Work tuff gear knife, but you can’t hardly find them anywhere

[@HiveMind2024]

Cameraman needs a light

[@Jon-ov4dh]

Seems like someone smoked their lunch 😂

[@unclesam9591]

Someone pulls a knife on you... you pull out mountain man 11 Inch monster saying you call that a knife

[@alwayson999]

I stopped buying Tops, Ontario, Becker and basically all the XL fixed blades until I have evey WTG model I want. They are embarrassing the other XL makers. Tops SUCKS!

[@gregm963]

All great knives for cleaning my fingernails and disarming bombs

[@kushviper]

More like Larp Tuff 😅

[@alexandervivohnai4919]

@tushviper You obviously have no clue about knives little buddy.
