Any Winkler fans?

[Twoody]

Man I need another regular belt knife in my life.. the skinner just doesn't quite fill my hand the same.. and I'm not a fan of my full weight crusher belt knife

Here's a wrench.. go tribal

I support the tribal life.

I've thought about that also. I've been on a Wasp kick so most of mine are that. I probably should get a tribal at some point. I don't have large hands so the sculpted would probably be a good pick.

what is that?

Winkler Woodsman Tribal.

kind of like a crusher belt knife but with a drop point and a squared off spine (works well for ferro rods)

Ha, not the knife. I meant what is the game you are processing

Whoops! Was replying to the wrong post.

Was helping to process some chickens at my friend’s family farm.

Snagged these two the other day. I didn't know if I'd like the Chipper but it feels really good in the hand. I really like the size of the Hunter Axe. Both of them are walnut which I have been into recently.

I have read through this entire thread and I still am having trouble figuring something out...can anyone experienced with Winklers speak to the thickness behind the edge? Specifically I'm looking at the drop point crusher, blue ridge hunter etc. and while I enjoy the broader blade profiles (less stabby), I'm trying to figure out which models have a narrower grind.

I have read through this entire thread (some more than once) and I still am having trouble figuring something out...can anyone experienced with Winklers speak to the thickness behind the edge? Specifically I'm looking at the drop point crusher, blue ridge hunter etc. and while I enjoy the broader blade profiles (less stabby), I'm trying to figure out which models have a narrower blade, basically what excels most at the paper slice is what I'm looking for. Reading the blade specs on Winkler and dealer websites often don't make sense or seem consistent and I have no option for seeing them in person. Also not able to do a custom grind. Thank you for your help!

I would recommend having Winkler reprofile the edge to 15 DPS, 30 inclusive. It widens the bevel a bit but makes it much better at slicing. I believe that is the same edge profile that Daniel carries.

E enigmaedge if you take S Skidoosh advice be aware that Winklers shop flooded because of hurricane Helene, Daniel posted on FB that they are looking at a 3 to 4 week cleanup.

I need a sculpted combat axe in my life.

For anyone interested.

 

[Delgadonine]

Yep. I'm switching up my 'wishlist' and putting Winkler at the top. Money equals Power. They need a powerful boost to recover!

It will facilitate you and a cold beer joining forces-er, recovery efforts at the end of a hard day.

Well, that's my motivation for obtaining one.
