Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter

The Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter is in stock at KnifeArt and normally ships the same business day. We have been an authorized Winkler dealer since the early days of the brand and were selling Daniel Winkler's hand-forged custom knives before the production line existed. Every Blue Ridge Hunter we ship carries the full Winkler warranty. Free US shipping on orders over $150. We only collect sales tax on orders shipped to Arkansas and Florida, and every purchase earns points in our buyer rewards program.

The Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter is the compact counterpart to the Winkler Belt Knife, purpose-built for hunters and outdoorsmen who want a lightweight fixed blade that performs without compromise. At 8.25 inches overall and weighing between 4.7 oz. and 5.9 oz. depending on handle material, it is one of the most carry-friendly knives Daniel Winkler has ever produced.

The blade is ground from 80CrV2 high-carbon steel with a full flat grind, ideal for skinning, field dressing, and detailed camp work. The black Caswell finish reduces glare and resists corrosion. An integral guard protects the hand during hard cuts, a filed thumb rest on the spine gives positive purchase during controlled work, and a lanyard hole adds carry flexibility beyond the sheath.

Each Blue Ridge Hunter ships in a multi-layered felt, Kydex, and leather sheath assembled in the USA with multiple carry options. Handle choices include curly maple in traditional, sculpted, and tribal versions; sculpted multicam G10; sculpted black laminate; green canvas laminate; walnut in standard, sculpted, and tribal versions; and limited edition zebrawood. Each handle version is a separate product listed below with its own pricing and availability.
