Winkler Belt Knife - Maple Handle

Daniel Winkler, the designer of Winkler Knives II, is one of the most dedicated and talented makers of elite, military-grade knives with an emphasis on special ops. Navy SEALs and other specialized military personnel trust Winkler's American-made knives to meet their needs on dangerous missions. This belt knife is carried and used by Matt Graham, of the Discovery Channel show Dual Survival. The Winkler Belt Knife with a maple handle and a black Caswell-finished blade is an exceptional knife from Winkler's collection, and it exemplifies the authentic craftsmanship and functional design that Winkler Knives are known for.

At an impressive 9-inch total length with a 4.75-inch blade, and weighing in at 5.9 oz., the Winkler Belt Knife is perfectly balanced and feels great in your hand. Made with only the highest-quality materials, this Winkler knife features an 80CRV2 Carbon Steel blade with a black Caswell finish. This sturdy spring steel offers great value for its premium toughness and edge retention, while the Caswell provides a level of rust resistance on the carbon steel blade and makes the steel non-reflective to avoid unwanted glint and glare.

The handle of these fixed blade belt knives is made of premium curly maple with a full-tapered tang construction. Curly maple knives have a comfortable grip and distinct outdoor look that is easily recognizable. In fact, you may remember seeing this knife in the critically acclaimed, American action-thriller war film Zero Dark Thirty. In addition, the Winkler Maple Belt Knife includes an attractive custom-made Kydex-lined brown leather sheath that can be adjusted to wear horizontally or vertically. It also has a filed thumb rest on the blade spine for a secure grip, a lanyard hole in the handle for carrying and an integral guard. These features improve the overall safety, comfort and functionality for the user.

The Winkler Belt Knife is an essential companion for the avid outdoorsman or members of the military.
