Winkler Lost Lake Camp Knife - Sculpted Maple Handle

The Winkler Lost Lake Camp Knife in sculpted maple pairs 3D contoured wood scales with Winkler's biggest production blade. The sculpted finger grooves give you the ergonomic advantage of a shaped grip with the warmth and visual character of natural maple. On a camp knife this size, where you may chop and baton for extended periods, the sculpted grip reduces hand fatigue and keeps the knife indexed in your hand through repeated swings.

The 6.5-inch blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 is the steel Daniel Winkler selected for his production line based on decades of field feedback from military and civilian users. At this blade length, impact toughness is the priority, and 80CRV2 handles chopping and batoning stress without chipping. The full tang runs the complete 11.2-inch length for structural integrity.

The sculpted maple handle has hand-contoured finger grooves in a softer, grippy wood that absorbs vibration and develops a warm patina over time. Each handle has unique grain character. The sculpted profile provides more positive hand indexing than the smooth maple version, which is especially valuable during hard camp work. The Lost Lake ships with a formed DeSantis leather sheath for belt carry. Weight is 12.6 ounces.
