Winkler Knives - Blue Ridge Crusher - Walnut Handle

The Winkler Knives Blue Ridge Crusher Walnut Handle is a compact fixed blade designed for demanding field use and handmade in North Carolina, USA. With an overall length of 8.25 inches and a weight of 5.5 ounces, it is suitable for hunters, military personnel, law enforcement, search-and-rescue, and backcountry hikers. Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler's designs are informed by years of experience supporting US special operations, resulting in practical tools for a range of environments. The Crusher is built to be a reliable option for those who require a durable fixed blade knife.

The 4-inch blade is made from 80CRV2 high-carbon steel, known for its toughness and edge retention. The Black Caswell finish reduces glare and provides additional protection against corrosion and environmental exposure. The file work along the spine is included for improved grip and control during detailed tasks. This model is constructed to handle heavy cutting, bushcraft, and survival applications.

The handle is crafted from walnut, offering a secure grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Its ergonomic shape supports retention and comfort during extended use. Walnut is a hardwood with durability and a natural feel. The full tang is skeletonized to balance strength with reduced weight. The knife comes with a custom Kydex sheath featuring a brown leather exterior, secure retention, and multiple carry options for field or belt use. A crusher extension on the handle adds utility for field and tactical tasks.
