Winkler Knives - Blue Ridge Crusher - Tribal Walnut Handle

The Winkler Blue Ridge Crusher in tribal walnut features hand-applied tribal artwork on a compact utility fixed blade. The laser-etched pattern on the walnut handle connects the Crusher to Daniel Winkler's Early American heritage while the blade and pommel deliver multi-purpose utility: cutting, pounding, prying, and crushing. At 8.25 inches overall and 5.5 ounces, the Crusher packs a lot of capability into a belt knife format.

The blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 absorbs impact without chipping, which is critical for a knife designed to be used as a pounding and prying tool in addition to a cutter. The blade handles normal cutting tasks while the thick spine and pommel serve as striking and crushing surfaces.

The tribal walnut handle has a laser-etched tribal pattern that adds grip and traction to the handle while carrying the trademark Winkler look. The pattern is permanent and stained into the wood. Walnut's lighter grain provides a clean canvas for the tribal artwork. The Crusher ships with a custom Boltaron sheath with a brown leather exterior for secure belt carry.
