Any Winkler fans?

I’ve been on the hunt for a Jaeger, but don’t see them come up much.

It's a great blade, but rare as hen's teeth they are these days. Many of us hope for another run of the Winkler-Knight collabs.

'rare as hen's teeth'

Wow!

Last heard that 40 years ago.

Have a question for you- how’s the Dynamis sheath compared to the Winkler?

The Winkler is able to seat itself in the pocket better where the Dynamis is more tactical with a better clip and easier to grab. The Dynamis is a more compact sheath too. The Winkler though feels less obtrusive being more concealed in the pocket. Hope this helps

I am crazy enough to have the Winkler and Dynamis Alliance version.

Very helpful, thank you! It sits so deep in the Winkler sheath it’s hard for me to grab. I figure they are cross compatible and I have an option

To clarify the sheaths are not interchangeable as the screwdrivers are much different. But if you are saying get both I agree lol. Options are nice.

The Winkler feels irreplaceable to me where the Dynamis feels like you are willing to do anything with it.

I picked up a Winkler Highland Hunter today. It has the sculpted maple grips. Looking forward to using it on my hunting trips.

We have been vacationing in Blowing Rock, NC since last saturday. We have hiked numerous trails in the area, and visited the original Mast General Store in Valle Crucis. The resilliance of this community is impressive. The high water mark during Hurricane Helene was half way up the door as shown. While minding my own business, this PW-EDC followed me back to the cabin.

We were up there last year and had similar observations. I was shocked by the lack of response assistance wise… that PW is a great looking knife! I know his shop was hit very hard during Helene as well.

Got a little carried away at Winkler Actual; some of these may find their way to the exchange.

This collection continues to evolve. After visiting Winkler Actual, several Mast General knife shops, and hiking in the region, I have some decent ideas on how to display them.

Bladegallery just posted more limited edition knives even some with rubber handles

Nice bunch of steel.....

Someone is selling these on the bay and has sold at least 2 of them. The knife itself appears to be a pretty good fake with the exception of the length, ricasso, sculpting, and etched logo; that box though is terrible.

Logo on that blade is terrible, hopefully that’s enough to stop too many folks from being taken.

Winkler just dropped some rubber handled special edition knives; currently available are the Drop Point Crusher, WK Woodsman, and the WK Utility Crusher.

Lots of very real looking Winkler fakes on Ebay. Winkler knows about it, they are trying to stop it but Ebay doesn't care.
They are coming from China. Eafengrow seems to be the biggest culprit.....

Chances are those copies are not tapered tang which is what sets the Winkler belt knife apart. Not to mention the heat treat. I hope Winkler can get them shut down but it’s doubtful

I would have never guessed that.
