Description: Daniel Winkler became a fulltime knifemaker in 1988 and received accreditation as an American Bladesmith Society master bladesmith in 1993. He has spent more than three decades studying and perfecting the nuances and handmade knives. Winkler Knives is a custom manufacturing operation that represents the evolution of Mastersmith Daniel Winkler’s knifemaking expertise coupled with the needs and field experience of Tier 1 Special Operations Teams from around the world.
This tool was crafted in the Winkler Knives shop in Northwestern North Carolina by skilled Blue Ridge Mountain artisans. It was created to provide unfailing performance and to last a lifetime. The Winkler Knives touch mark represents their unwavering commitment to producing the highest quality knives, axes, and breaching tools available.
For those wanting a somewhat longer knife, Daniel developed the WK Field Knife. This knife is made from 3/16" thick, 80CrV2 carbon steel. A Caswell finish is both non-reflective and provides some protection from rust.
The handle is formed from tribal marked walnut scales set on a distal tapered tang for excellent balance. The scales have been gently rounded to fill the hand nicely.
The ambidextrous Kydex-lined sheath can be worn vertically or horizontally with minor adjustments.
