WORK TUFF GEAR WOLVERINE - SK-85 - DESTRUCTION TEST - UNTIL IT BREAKS

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

Now we need to make a version of the Wolverine in K329 😁 Thanks for the testing 👍

[@buckshotthighbrass]

Sure would like to see it , really like it 2mm thicker spine and lower flats might make it a shtf knife

[@markod8383]

is that steel better than sk85?

[@auroraborealisknives4019]

@@markod8383 It has higher toughness and wdge retention 👍

[@LuisGonzalez-gl4wc]

I want to see that test

[@charlesdavis3923]

That would be awesome. I'd love to have one in k329

[@BreathofSan]

What is useful is that with this type of videos, you can not only get an idea of the knives' resilience, but you can also see what there's beneath the handle scales (skeletonized or not). Two pieces of information that are rarely provided by manufacturers or retailers. How I hate skeletonized handles... 👍

[@joex]

glad u like my sheat!!!! cheers!

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Agreed.

[@awatchmanoftrueisrael]

Exactly. No one test their blades enough to know that kind of inside information

[@ShoahBiz]

why do you hate skeletonized handles? as long as its done well it doesnt affect the strength of the knife enough to matter and it makes the blade balance better and lighter.

[@BreathofSan]

@@ShoahBiz I hate skeletonized handles or those drilled to make epoxy adhere better because many of them end up breaking. Not only can you find numerous images on Google and BladeForums (like with the Ka-Bar BK series), but you'll also notice that many knives or machetes tested by JoeX break at the stress point created by the screw hole in front of the handle. I don't like skeletonized handles; to me, it's a crappy woke technique, and I don't care about the weight as long as it's solid.

You can't really blame it on WTG on what you paid for it. That's on the dealer you purchased it from. I paid $159 USD for mine and it's been worth every penny.

We need to start a JOE X drinking game ... every time a blade snaps, we each drink a Red Bull shot and do a Van Damme split.

[@joex]

Marlboro!!!

[@scdub]

The Busse ASH 2 has similar geometry to these Wolverines but is much longer (so more leverage and impact force on strikes) and did WAY better than all the Work Tuff knives except the Ares, which is likely due to its crazy stout geometry. Keep on breaking!

[@joex]

yeah true, that BUSSE did better! so after all BUSSE seems not to bad after all!

[@BladeWalker77]

I think the reason for the dispute with Busse is the crazy price. For that price, Joe expected incredible performance, considering there is no sheath included. All in all they are very good knives, but not worth the money for many people.

[@wellregulated8725]

I guess it depends on whether you need the extra toughness or corrosion resistance.

yeah probably! but they should make it in K329 steel!

[@squick1842]

@@jimbusmaximus4624 Maybe even more, i'm not updated on the recent price on those. But if they cost around 1k, he just used nearly half now on two versions of the same work tuff knives. The Medford Praetorian are legendary and mythic. And since they are so expensive, nobody has dared to do real stress test. Because of that I belive Joe would get alot of views on a video about it.

What you should ask yourself what would I really use this for? Most youtube people that buy these only collect them or make videos with them. I mean really how often are you gonna carry a 2pound knife around? A great knife for survival that you might actually carry is the 4 max scout. Just my 2 cents.

[@joex]

u should know that after the vid!

[@joex]

i think richard is right!

[@centralfinitecurve-ling...]

Damn, these are really disappointing answers. I don't need a folder. I'm looking for a camp knife since I go camping. Idk why you'd assume the billions of people on KZbin only buy knives to make videos with. That seems like a pretty stupid assumption; possibly your own projection. Furthermore, if you think people don't need knives other than making videos why suggest a robust folder anyway? None of this makes any sense at all. Kind of a bummer for a guy to review a fixed blade and suggest a folder in place of it and for a guy who watches knife reviews to not understand that a few of us, among the literal billions of people who watch KZbin, might actually use knives. Pretty fucking weird, I have to say. I don't understand these mental gymnastics going on here.

Simply not a reasonably reliable 'medium sized survival knife' as advertised. Not all that worthy of namesake Wolverine and Work T. The overall design and geometry are just not all that well thought out. Field testing and durability assessments for the blade can be viewed as being questionable. Relatively spendy and of what looks like little availability, plus all the issues and kinda lousy waranty is a no go for me. Another good show JoeX!!!
