Winkler Highland Hunter - Walnut Handle

The Winkler Highland Hunter in walnut is the lighter-grain hardwood option in the Highland Hunter lineup. Walnut is a harder, more durable hardwood with a lighter grain and stain than maple. It holds up well to sustained field use and provides long-term handle durability. The Highland Hunter is one of the larger knives in the Winkler production range at 4.75 inches of blade and 9.25 inches overall, built for full-size game processing and demanding camp tasks.

The blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 provides the combination of toughness and edge retention that a working hunting knife requires. It holds up through an entire field dressing session and strops back to a keen edge quickly. The blade profile offers a strong tip for piercing and a generous belly for skinning and slicing. Weight is 5.4 ounces.

The walnut handle has a smooth, tight-grained surface that resists wear and provides lasting durability from field use. Walnut is harder and more durable than maple, with a tighter grain that resists wear from extended field use. The lighter grain contrasts with the black oxide blade for a two-tone appearance. The felt-lined Boltaron and leather sheath provides a quiet draw and secure belt carry in multiple positions.
