Any Winkler fans?

Winkler makes a model called the "DEK3?"



Correct. I don't believe they've offered a folder for several years.

I think he's mistaken with another maker of the Dek3

I also really like the operator paired with a hawk .

I've become a big fan of the Operator the more I use it. Slim and easy to EDC, but with a decent amount of blade. Quite a versatile knife.

Just wiggs me how in the sheath the footprints almost the same as the belt knife.. that's what always leans me to the belt knife .. lots extra belly

I generally carry mine in this sheath. It's available if you contact Winkler, and it's lined just like the leather sheaths are.

No worries, but I'm curious - which Winkler model did you mean to refer to, for pairing with the Highland Hatchet?

Any of you winkler fans have an older hunter like this you would part with? Been searching real hard for one

Well I picked up a new belt knife from a member Boru13 great guy to deal with. I traded a set of Dillon 300blk dies and a box of SRP for the used one. I just love this guys knives!

Winkler Woodsman

Coincidentally, that's the exact combo I settled on as well.

Would you sell that hunter? Been searching for one!

How do you like that Contingency? I’ve got one coming my way tomorrow. Seems to be a comfortable EDC by design… I carry IWB canted and my thought was the angled handle will help not be in the way when I’m doing any kind of hip-hinging movements.

Also if you’re open to it, I’ll take that Zipper off your hands! For a fee of course!

I have a belt knife crusher with green micarta handle scales. Simply a great knife. Currently running with a The Knife Connection leather drop leg.View attachment 1742352View attachment 1742353

Pretty sure I've asked already but what size backer ?

 

[Mike_Hancho]

Picked up another Winkler. Drop point crusher sculpted black laminate. Love the drop point blades. I think I want a woodsman now.

I think I want a woodsman now.

That's my next Winkler, going to order one for my birthday, Maple/Tribal.

Current state of the collection. Always interested in any older discontinued pieces available! Shoot me a PM if you got something you’d part with! Big fan of the squared of ricasso

Hi Guys, my first Winkler, the crusher belt knife should be delivered tomorrow. I’ve been watching some reviews and going through the pictures on here, no one seems to show how they carry their Winklers, just wondering if anyone has any on hip shots or carry recommendations?

Mostly horizontal over left pocket, crossdraw

For some time, I carried it vertical, with an Armatus dangler system, but I found it to be too stiff. Maybe a KSF leather backing would work better..

I’ve never carried it behind my back, because I find resheathing to be a pain…
