Thank you for supporting Work Tuff Gear! We warranty each Work Tuff Gear knife against defects in material and workmanship for six months after purchase. We will repair or replace it with a new Work Tuff Gear knife (shipping fees and associated costs not included).  Of course, Work Tuff Gear does not warranty its products against normal wear or misuse. Work Tuff Gear knives are not intended to be used as hammers, chisels, pry bars, or screwdrivers. Although we thoroughly test our knives, our warranty does not cover damage due to impacts with rocks, bricks, metals, or other high-hardness objects.  If your knife was damaged due to misuse, our repair department can analyze and repair it for a reasonable fee (shipping fees and associated costs not included).  The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, resharpening, reprofiling, damage caused by misuse, lack of regular maintenance, or disassembly.  Remember, anything can break or fail if subject to sufficient abuse. So please do not misuse this product.

To claim the warranty, please send us proof of your purchase order from our site or authorized dealers.

Böhler K329 is a high-performance tool steel produced by Böhler, designed primarily for industrial applications but also gaining popularity in the knife-making community due to its excellent balance of toughness, wear resistance, and edge retention.

Key Characteristics:

• Steel Type: Medium-alloyed cold work tool steel.

• Composition (approximate):

  • Carbon: ~1.5%

  • Chromium: ~12%

  • Molybdenum, Vanadium, and other alloying elements present for enhanced wear resistance and hardenability.

• Hardness: Can be heat treated to reach hardness levels suitable for demanding cutting applications (around 58–63 HRC).

• Toughness: Higher toughness compared to some high-wear steels, making it more resistant to chipping.

• Corrosion Resistance: Moderate — better than plain carbon steels, but not stainless; requires care to prevent rust in humid or corrosive environments.

• Wear Resistance: High — good for knives that see abrasive use or repeated impact.

Use in Knives:

K329 is valued in knife making for tools, outdoor knives, and hard-use blades where a combination of edge retention and toughness is needed. It’s not as commonly seen as steels like D2 or M390, but is respected by custom makers for its reliability and performance.
