Work Tuff Gear Tanto-X Type B – Böhler K329 Fixed Blade Knife

Tanto-X Type B — Designed by Julio Diez

The tantō has been a symbol of precision and discipline since the samurai of Japan's Heian period carried it into battle. The Work Tuff Gear Tanto-X Type B honours that legacy — then pushes it forward with modern materials and field-proven engineering.

Designed by Julio Diez, the Type B is built for professionals and serious outdoorspeople who demand a blade that performs when conditions get brutal. Whether you're processing wood at a remote campsite or reaching for a dependable fixed blade on the job, the Tanto-X delivers without compromise.

Why the Tanto-X Type B?

• Böhler K329 steel with a dark-washed finish — corrosion-resistant, edge-retaining, and ready for hard use
• Lower saber grind — optimized for slicing efficiency through dense materials like wood and cordage
• Full tang construction — maximum structural integrity under load; this blade won't flex when you need it most
• Ergonomic G10 handle — sculpted texture locks into your grip even in wet or cold conditions
• Custom-molded Kydex sheath — multiple mounting configurations for belt, pack, or MOLLE carry

The Tanto-X Type B is the kind of knife you reach for without thinking — because you already know it's there, and you already know it works.
