Given the Winklers you already own, I'm guessing this is going to be something special.

Nothing to special but I’m more than pleased

Many blades have come and gone over the years, but I have a couple Winklers that have found a permanent home in my collection.

I’ve been checking on this thread regularly for a couple years now, but told myself if I bought a Winkler it was going to be something to carry regularly for daily use.

Oh man, a Williams-Winkler collab. Very nice, and yes, that is a puddle of drool on my shirt.

Great choice, Lee - I bet you'll end up carrying that SD2 regularly.

What are your first impressions?

Well, after trying various ways to carry this knife, I decided on an improvement for my personal needs…I removed the clip. I prefer to carry a smaller fixed blade in my pocket (this particular model in my front right). I used the supplied hardware for retention, and it works like a charm.

Blue Ridge Hunter was delivered today, took a pic along side the SD1, got to love that polished edge and it's sharp too.

Here’s a starting point.

Pocket sheath for Winkler Operator?

Just got a Winkler Operator, and I’m absolutely loving it. Only problem is that I can’t carry a fixed blade knife in a sheath outside the waistband very often. The Operator is small enough that I can fit the whole thing (including it’s current sheath) in my pocket with only the very end of the...
