Winkler Lost Lake Camp Knife - Maple Handle

The Winkler Lost Lake Camp Knife in maple is the classic wood-handled version of Winkler's largest production fixed blade. At 6.5 inches of blade and 11.2 inches overall, the Lost Lake is built for camp tasks that smaller Winkler knives cannot handle: chopping kindling, processing firewood, batoning, and heavy food prep. The maple handle gives this big knife a warm, traditional look that connects it to Daniel Winkler's hand-forged heritage.

The blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 provides the impact toughness that a camp knife this size demands. It absorbs the shock of chopping and batoning without chipping, and it maintains a serviceable edge through heavy work. The blade geometry is ground for aggressive cutting with enough thickness to handle lateral stress during splitting tasks. The full tang runs the entire length of the knife for maximum structural integrity.

The maple handle scales provide a smooth, secure grip on a handle sized for full two-hand use when chopping or batoning. Maple is a softer, grippy wood with a dark stain that gives the Lost Lake Winkler's signature pioneer aesthetic while providing a comfortable grip during extended camp sessions. Each handle carries unique grain character. The Lost Lake ships with a formed DeSantis leather sheath built for belt carry. Weight is 12.6 ounces.
