Work Tuff Gears Little Evil (Small) Combat, Field knife in Böhler's K329

 Work Tuff Gears Little Evil Fighter (Small) Combat, Field knife in Böhler's K329

The Work Tuff Gear Little Evil (Small) Fighter Combat, Field knife in Böhler's K329, is a smaller version of the "Little Evil" designed for combat carry. The blade thickness is not 8mm S600 but 5mm thick Böhler K329, an 8% Cr steel, a modification of A8, which is 1.2360, a 0.52% C steel which can be hardened from 58-60 HRC dependent upon the tempering protocol (approx around  100C-500C).



There is a fuller present on both side of the spine to keep this 6.5" blade nimble.

The Work Tuff Gear Little Evil (Small) Combat, (a Zeke Menacho design) features a recurved blade onto a deep belly and as he describes it a kind of "Syringe" shaped blade tip.

Compared with it's big brother, this smaller version feels much more nimble in the hand and the grip is well-suited to a large hand and feels quite weighty.




Böhler K329 is a sort of "semi stainless steel"

The tip is very good at penetration of tough objects.

Strong coffee, watches and knives LOL! Note that highly polished edge that Victor applies!
There is a concealed lanyard hole. In order to place a cord (in this case some 550 paracord) I used a bent paper clip to retrieve the inserted end.

The pommel is designed so that one can also place the palm of their hand against it without suffering.



OK so stick around for my field tests, coming soon!
