WTG Ares-C - SK85 Hand Rub APO Finished Blade - Black G-10 Textured Grip - Black Kydex

SK85 Fixed Blade with G-10 Handles

The WTG Ares-C is a robust survival knife, designed to withstand relentless use in demanding environments. Crafted from Japanese SK85 high-carbon steel, it offers exceptional toughness and edge retention, crucial for tasks where performance cannot be compromised. The knife was rigorously tested against various scenarios such as shelter-building, game processing, timber work, and everyday camp duties, ensuring its reliability as a no-nonsense survival tool.

The blade features a steep saber grind and a stepped spine that concentrate mass for impact work, while the broad belly flows into a reinforced tip to ensure dependable cutting and piercing. The simple geometry not only facilitates easy field maintenance but also provides deep and reliable bites when needed most. Additionally, the multiple grip positions - allowing users to choke up on the blade - afford surprising control during precision tasks like food preparation and feathering, despite its substantial build.

With a weight of 38 oz and an overall length of 16.1", this knife is intentionally overbuilt for performance rather than flash. The G-10 handle features a textured grip to enhance control in various conditions, complemented by an upgraded Kydex sheath that supports multi-position carry options.
