Work Tuff Gear Campo


Work Tuff Gear Campo in Japanese SK85 Tool Steel
Work Tuff Gear Campo in Japanese SK85 High carbon tool steel.


So this is my second knife made with Japanese SK85 tool steel and since it happens to be made by the same manufacturer, I have no doubt as to the quality of the heat treatment given to this blade. Work Tuff Gear are making some outstanding quality outdoor tools and the first thing which i liked about the Campo 




was the amount of cutting "real estate"! 



It's one hell of a tough looking knife too and you'll notice they have provided a small divot for a fire bow drill. 




This is actually a good bonus as one can easily find the other to parts but it can be a real PITA to find a suitable divot or top block when making such a friction fire. Scales are G10.




Good thumb finger gimping, strong thick spine




Well-made Scabbard from Kydex





At home in the outdoors (wild thyme)

Branch cutting no problems for the WTG Campo. The blade has a good weight distribution so swinging it is easy.

At home in the Big Outdoors! the WTG Campo



The Campo Bites!

Easy to cut feathers thanks to the blade Scandi geometry.






The Work Tuff Gear Campo is a big Scandi ground drop point (with a great cutting real estate!) Japanese SK85 High Carbon tool steel blade, acid wash finish. The knife is dual tempered and has a Rockwell of 56-58. It looks the part because it is! G10 scales in a comfy design. I've had it in the mountains twice and by the river fishing. One of the campo's key features is the blade grind. It just bites into anything and was scary sharp when I got mine with its micro convex edge.  Stick around as this is just some eye candy before the full on video review is released.
