Winkler SD2 - Black Laminate Handle

The Winkler SD2 Standard Duty in black canvas laminate is the smooth-spined companion to the SD1. The SD2 shares the SD1's 3.25-inch blade length and 7-inch overall dimensions but eliminates the thumb ramp on the spine, creating a cleaner blade profile that some users prefer for slicing and draw cuts. At 2.8 ounces, the SD2 is one of the lightest production knives Winkler makes.

The blade is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 delivers the toughness and edge retention that define the Winkler production line. The SD2's blade handles everyday cutting, food prep, and light field tasks with a streamlined profile. The smooth spine provides a clean draw stroke without the interruption of jimping or a ramp.

The black canvas laminate handle is equivalent to micarta and provides consistent, moisture-proof grip performance. The all-black appearance gives the SD2 a tactical look that pairs well with dark clothing and gear. The SD2 ships with a DeSantis leather sheath and spring steel belt clip for discreet carry in multiple positions.
