The Carnivore is a real beauty!

[@jonnyboat2]

I'm so glad to see your designs, visions and creations come to life for others to experience and use and enjoy. The Lexus manufacturing quote is "the pursuit of perfection." Vince Lombardi once said, "Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” I see these things in what you do.

[@outerlimitless]

I appreciate that very much. I follow a few rules in life. First is...always invent and create. Creation is one of my absolute favorite aspects of life. And I also aim high knowing I will land somewhere in the middle but it's in a better place than I was. That's kinda like the Lombardi quote. Have a vision and pursue it until it comes to life. And then enjoy it! Hopefully people will enjoy the Carinvore! Thanks for writing and for your support!

Damn my guy she looks beautiful Liking the Blade shape and think this will be a popular one. Work Tuff Gear Has Done It Again 🥰 Keep up the Awesome work Eric 😃🤘

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you...they always get it done!

[@PREPFORIT]

I love the blade Sturdy and solid thick metal. An Excellent design!

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you! Yes...this is the perfect balance of stout yet nimble in the hand. I am VERY happy with the feel! Now for testing!

[@darumajstorkvaris3363]

Bravo 👍

[@mr.mister8744]

Really like this one. It’s a workhorse. Great design! 👍🏾

[@outerlimitless]

YES, exactly. Simple, effective, down to get to work!

[@goldtrident]

Great design, love it

[@RemyLebeau1985]

Chanto is my personal "go-to-do-all knife"

[@BallistaClub]

Sweet design! I imagine it with larger blade also!

[@dean6486]

Love it. Great design, congratulations.

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks a bunch...I appreciate the support!

[@spektr540hemi]

Looks ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!! Glad you kept 1/4" thick. Grip scales... Hope it will be offered with the Black/Tan/Green that was on the last run of Predator Hunters...Orange liners would be SWEET !!

[@CraftyCleetus]

Hell yes

[@outerlimitless]

Will match well with the Stinger! How's your Stinger treating you? I hope it's performing well!

[@CraftyCleetus]

@@outerlimitless it's awesome brother, hoping for another run soon my wife's pretty much laid claim to it, I've had to appease her with one of them and shes in love with it as am I lol. This looks like an awesome mid size was waiting to see what you came up with. Well done

[@jairoblanco827]

Thats a badass blade

[@sifusasdo2314]

A Must have 👍

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks for watching! Thanks for the support!

[@WKNDER1]

Love it!! absolutely amazing for sure my kind of blade!! keep on keeping on brother...

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you! I appreciate it...hope you've been well over at the Garage!!

[@wellregulated8725]

Nice!

[@starlingblack814]

Nice looking blade Erik. Mark Young did a review on it and it seemed to be very useful as a camp knife. Good job on designing this!

[@derek9217]

I like the look of this. Nice design!

[@claypoole702]

I have to say, you designs are maturing, evolving and I am with you every step of the way. You are living your best life... Bravo, sir.

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you!! I greatly appreciate that! I pull from my practical field use experiences and I try not to over complicate a design. It needs to function in every aspect, so the design only includes useful features. It's sometimes the art of making it look sleek and sexy yet still tough and robust while maintaining the functional use needs. I can't wait to test this one!! Very soon! Thanks again for your support!

[@zachwarren9063]

This is a must have for me. A lot of knives pushing this length start to lean towards excelling at chopping only and becoming a bit unwieldy/cumbersome. This guy on the other hand just looks so nicely streamlined and lively in the hand for its size. At a 1/4" thick it's still got some weight behind it for some chopping and rougher use. Kick ass design man!!

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you! Most of my designs have wilderness use in mind... Fire craft / prep... And general camp site prep... Limbing clearing brush etc. This will be a solid option!

[@FARACI1]

Awesome looking Blade. Glad you went with the 1/4” 👍🏽⚔️🗡️🔪

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks, yes, it's a beast, yet still nicely balanced. Thanks for watching!

Greatly appreciated...thanks a ton!

[@Bradly-k4k]

You're welcome Eric!

[@scottykarate14]

Wow man, just when I thought I could pause buying woods knives for a while! I absolutely love your designs, both from an aesthetic and practical point of view. I think you hit a sweet spot with the size especially on this one. To me, the comparison that comes to mind is the Junglas II. I think the Esee 6 and even the RAT 7 are too small to be my "big guy" if I have a lot of wood to process. I love the original Junglas, but it's just stupid big to keep on the hip. I think there is a place in the market for more knives in that "one tool option" range and the Carnivore nails it. Bigger than the RAT 7 but more nimble than the Junglas II. And enough guard to save my fingers if I am attacked by some mythical beast. And Carnivore is a way better name than wolverine anyway IMO. Great work brother!

[@Gman1024]

Phenomenal design, very chunka blade at a quarter of an inch, wow, and still balanced and neutral, good job. Love the chanto too, that's on my someday list.

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks a bunch. I think this one's really gonna be a fantastic all around performer...mid sized, mid weight, capable. I'm happy with it! I know people will like it too! Thanks for watching!

[@preparedmind101]

Very cool. And interesting. Almost panicked because at first glance it looked similar to my new one, but after watching the moving video it isn't. Same idea at least insofar as the med/large field knife, but mine is smaller/thinner and based on the JX-Omega. Same on the straight spine. I wish I had gotten my hands on that small one you got there. I like your designs! Does your challenge coin have a number? Just wondering if they are all different. As for the carry options when you talked about cross draw...Vic put these removable/screw in D-Rings on my new JXV sheath. Might be an option you can explore. I think if he included two of those on each large knife sheath it would add a lot of carry possibilities.

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks... Pretty standard and straight forward design. I tend to design more to the simplistic side of things. I was contemplating going 3/16” but this design was originally intended to be sightly overbuilt, hence the 1/4" stock. Ironically that Chanto you had was my initial design being the larger blade yet 3/16". My coin is 00 ... Not sure if they vary. I'm looking forward to checking out your next design... I tested your Omega... It performed very well... Nice balance... Great general camp knife and well rounded.

[@preparedmind101]

@@outerlimitless Mine says "00" too. I didn't expect to find I was special...😆. But... It was numbers so I was curious.

[@WhatsthePOINT_EDC]

I didn’t know you designed these knives! Your style is awesome and I can’t wait to own one of your designs. 🤘🔥🔪

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you...I appreciate it! YESSIR...I have a few projects. I am really loving working with WTG.

[@hillbillyfromtheswamp6223]

Absolutely sick blade man. 1/4" is also spot on. Hard to name blades anymore. I know Camilus has a blade also called the carnivore. But isn't worth the name considering I broke theirs in 3 places.

[@outerlimitless]

Thanks man...I appreciate it. and YES it IS hard to name blades. I am happy with the design for sure...thanks for stopping by!

[@James-ke5sx]

Wow what a beauty. Looks like it could be in the professional blade Sports.

[@phillipcraddock8248]

I just orderd one from knife center

[@renexwing1546]

Bad Ass😍👌

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you! I appreciate your support as always!

[@LKN4WAR]

I def need this blade. Beautiful work. The website doesn’t do this knife justice in the pics. They need to add video table tops of each knife. Then again they all sell out so not much need I suppose. Lol

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you... Greatly appreciated! I'm excited for people to get them in their hands! Thanks for watching!

[@LKN4WAR]

@@outerlimitless That SK-85 ARES was one of the few blades Joe X couldnt destroy in his brutal extreme destruction testing. I hope WT keeps using that steel.👍 Love that straight spine. I prob need Two of them, one user and one to keep pristine. Only thing id like to add if they are ever available would be some blue and black handle scales since they contrast so well with that polished blade. I have that on a Busse BM it looks striking.

[@Joe-pw7ky]

Great knife design! Awesome looking knife, definitely on my list to get. Will TKell knives be making more of your accomplice ? I definitely want that blade also!

[@outerlimitless]

Thank you! Yes... There are plans for a TKell full run... We're working out the details...

[@ssunfish]

Thank goodness!!!!!!!! Great news!

[@B-leafer]

Carnivore in green and black. Nice! When can I get one? PS: I would be interested in a Carnivor XL, one with a steel upgrade, as well as a 1in longer blade. Like 3v for instance...

[@outerlimitless]

Work Tuff doesn't use 3v at this point... Next batch is due 2024

[@B94U2]

I'll take at least 1. When can we expect a drop?

[@outerlimitless]

Hoping June... Not quite announced just yet. Keep an eye on the adventure team Facebook where the announcements usually get made.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

A knife for knife work!

[@outerlimitless]

Yeah man...I'm looking forward to testing the performance...this one will be fun!

[@ryanlaketahoe107]

Hi just ordered this knife and how do I get one of those great coins.

[@Sharpbevel]

Thank you for not putting jimping on this fixed blade. jimping is ok for folders but I don’t like jimping on fixed blades. Knife looks great and goes on sale in 1 hour!

[@outerlimitless]

Yes! I'm not a huge fan of jimping... I feel like it takes away more comfort than it adds grip

[@phillipcraddock8248]

DO YOU KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN,THANKS NEED ONE BY CHRISTMAS

[@outerlimitless]

Slated 2024 as of now...

[@phillipcraddock8248]

OK Thanks need one for a christmas present@@outerlimitless

Work Tuff Gear knifes impossible to buy in the UK?

[@outerlimitless]

Most are sold on the Work Tuff website and shipped directly from the manufacturer... you should be able to get them when they are available. They typically sell fast

[@LKN4WAR]

Tried to order immediately but pay pal Fd with me over a fully working Amex so input a visa immediately after but sold out in 11 min. I hate pay pal so much. Maybe next time if there is another run.

[@outerlimitless]

There will be a batch going to DLT and Knife Center fairly soon! You'll get one

[@LKN4WAR]

@@outerlimitless thanks for the info man, I’ll keep an eye out. Congrats on the success of this blade 👍

[@outerlimitless]

@@LKN4WAR thank you! I'll make sure to announce the release as it approaches

[@randallflores-qr8cs]

I like the design of the knife but that sheath needs to be streamlined.

[@outerlimitless]

When I first saw the sheath I was a bit surprised. Keep in mind WTG takes the first pass at the sheath design to get the basics worked out. From here I can make suggestions. I do feel like the sheath is wider than it needs to be, but I do understand why. My field use video will focus heavily on the sheath design and find the sweet spot between function and form. But YES, I agree with you completely...good eye!

[@dive518]

Refer to the use of new sheaths such as SOG or Cool steel

[@outerlimitless]

@@dive518 those are injection molded sheaths... You need to realize those sheaths are developed for mass produced models that create thousands of copies. The setup of an injected molding process would trump the cost of the knife and literally double the unit cost of a knife. Kydex is a knife by knife molded sheath that allows an efficient number to be made as needed without the setup and machining costs of injection molding. So although SOG and Cold Steel have cool sheaths it's far from viable with small batch production.

[@dive518]

@@outerlimitless Oh okay, now I get it

[@LockNLoad777]

How wide is the blade?

[@outerlimitless]

1.5 inch blade depth

[@ericshaffer7088]

What is the msrp?

[@outerlimitless]

Should be around $200ish maybe a bit more.

[@ssunfish]

Seems like more than a chopper whomping knife. A x large belt knife which is called for and not covered over much by the production market, more by custom makers

[@richardhenry1969]

Nice design but most are out of my price range. Very hard to justify knives over $150. It doesn’t seem like I get anything extra except cost. Especially when I can get a skrama for $70.
