This knife is a collaboration between Daniel Winkler and Kevin Holland, US Navy SEAL (ret.) and US Army Special Operations (ret.).

Kevin’s expertise as a military operator, as well as a skilled trapper/outdoorsman, resulted in a knife that is not only effective in tactical environments, but provided utility when required.

Care instructions:

These tools are made of high carbon steel and are not stainless. It is normal for the no-glare finish to wear with use, taking on an antique appearance. This process can be hastened by lightly buffing the steel surface with #0000 steel wool.

Clean and oil after each use. Sharpen with natural or diamond stones, then strop with a leather belt or hard cardboard. Power sharpening is not recommended.

Knife Sheath Mount Options:

Your Knife sheath can be worn vertically or horizontally, right or left-hand draw. The included nylon spacers vary in thickness. Select the set that best fits your needs, then match with the correct length screws. Tighten the screws once the sheath is in the desired position. This action will provide the proper fit. The Leather Loop is easy on and off the belt. The Belt Clip can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Molle Loops can mount vertically, horizontally or at a 45-degree angle.

Winkler Knives is a custom manufacturing operation that represents the evolution of Daniel Winkler’s knife making experience coupled with the needs and expertise of Tier 1 Special Operations Teams from around the world. Winkler Knives’ specialty is producing knives and axes with specific attributes, rather than accepting limitations typically inherent to cutlery factories. This is accomplished by automating processes in initial stages of production, then transitioning to tasks that can only be accomplished by hand.
