Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter - Sculpted Black Laminate

The Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter in sculpted black laminate adds 3D contoured finger grooves to the tactical black configuration. The sculpting shapes the handle for a more positive grip that indexes your fingers into a consistent position, an advantage during repetitive cutting work in the field. At 4 inches of blade and 8 inches overall, the Blue Ridge Hunter is sized for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a mid-size knife with real utility.

The blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 provides the toughness and edge retention that serious field use demands. The Blue Ridge Hunter's blade geometry handles skinning, slicing, food prep, and general camp work with a profile that keeps the tip strong and the belly useful. The felt-lined Boltaron and leather sheath provides a quiet draw and secure belt carry. Weight is 5.9 ounces.

The sculpted black canvas laminate handle has contoured grip surfaces that improve hand security when your hands are wet, cold, or gloved. Canvas laminate is functionally equivalent to micarta and is impervious to moisture and temperature changes. The sculpted version of the Blue Ridge Hunter is the choice for users who prioritize ergonomics and grip lock-in over a smooth handle profile.
