Work Tuff Gear
WORK TUFF GEAR are some of the most impressive production fixed blade knives I've seen in the blade industry. Their blades have the function, fit & finish of a Small Batch Custom Maker. This is largely because Vic Lynn hand picks designs from great custom makers who are end users of their own blades. Want to be pleasantly surprised about how great a knife is again & again? These are as solid a production blade as you will find.
Work Tuff Gear by Vic Lynn:
When did you start Work Tuff Gear, and what caused you to start the company?
I started Work Tuff Gear 6 months before my first blade show in 2018. I spend a lot of time watching how Jeremy from Simple Little Life making the knife from scratch and knowing what type of tools did he use for making a knife. I also watched a lot of videos from John Grimsmo since he was one of the YouTuber who started making the knives from the CNC machining process. From watching what he did, I see a different level of knife-making techniques, that was one of the reasons I bought my first CNC machine in the same year and started learning to program and making jig and fixtures. Also, I purchased my first 2x72 belt grinder in the same year and did a lot of practice learning how to use the tool properly.
