Winkler Highland Hunter - Maple Handle

The Winkler Highland Hunter in maple is the traditional wood-handled version of Winkler's full-size hunting knife. Maple has been a signature handle material for Daniel Winkler since his hand-forged customs, and it gives the Highland Hunter a classic look that appeals to hunters and collectors who value natural materials. The warm grain contrasts with the dark black oxide blade for a look that is distinctly Winkler.

The 4.75-inch blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 is the steel Winkler has trusted across his entire production line. At this blade length, you have enough edge to handle large game field dressing, camp food prep, and tasks that would strain a smaller knife. The blade profile provides a strong tip and generous belly for versatile cutting. Overall length is 9.25 inches at 5.4 ounces.

The maple handle scales are contoured for a comfortable four-finger grip with natural vibration dampening. Maple is a softer, grippy wood with a dark stain that connects to Winkler's original pioneer and native-inspired aesthetic. Each handle carries unique grain character. The felt-lined Boltaron and leather sheath provides a quiet draw and secure belt carry in multiple positions.
