Voyager vs Forester — Which Work Tuff Gear Knife Performs Best for Bushcraft and Fire Prep?

Hey everyone — Eric from Outer Limitless Blades here! Today we’re putting two powerhouse blades from Work Tuff Gear head-to-head: the Voyager Gen 2 and the Forester Gen 3. Both are excellent camp and bushcraft knives designed for serious outdoor use — and I’m testing them side by side to see which one truly dominates when it comes to fire prep, carving, and real-world ergonomics. In this hands-on field review, I’ll cover: 🔹 Full side-by-side performance test – Voyager vs Forester 🔹 Saber grind geometry, ergonomics, and carving control 🔹 K390-class steel performance (K329) in wet and dry wood 🔹 90° spine fire-starting & fatwood scraping 🔹 Grip comfort, lanyard design, and balance in-hand 🔹 Camp utility and even food prep in the field 🔹 Kydex sheath setup and carry options By the end, you’ll know which one fits your outdoor kit best. Personally? I lean toward the Voyager for its taller grind, refined edge geometry, and sheer versatility — but both knives are built to perform. 📦 Featured Products: • Work Tuff Gear Voyager Gen 2 – www.worktuffgear.com • Work Tuff Gear Forester Gen 3 – www.worktuffgear.com 👊 More from Outer Limitless: • Subscribe for more knife & gear reviews →    / @outerlimitlessblades   • Instagram → @outerlimitless • Main Channel →    / @outerlimitless   #WorkTuffGear #Voyager #Forester #OuterLimitless #KnifeReview #BushcraftKnife #CampingKnife #EDCKnife #KydexSheath #FirePrep #GearReview #FixedBlade #OutdoorGear #KnifeCommunity #CampKnife ⏱ YouTube Chapter Timeline 00:00 – Intro 00:04 – Work Tuff Gear Voyager & Forester Overview 00:22 – Gen 3 Forester vs Gen 2 Voyager background 00:47 – Which should you choose?
