All I Want for Christmas Is a Good Fixed Blade

Pete Winkler's Hunter Pro Tapered Tang delivers a working knife built around A2 tool steel—a classic choice that prioritizes toughness and ease of sharpening over the extreme wear resistance of steels like D2. The 3.75" drop point runs 0.150" thick, giving you substantial spine for batoning without unnecessary heft. A2's air-hardening properties mean consistent heat treatment results, and the steel takes a keen edge you can maintain in the field without specialized equipment.

The "Oreo Cookie" Micarta handles pair black and white G10 liners for a look that's as clean as it is functional. At 5.89oz with a 4.75" handle, the balance favors control during detail work while the tapered tang sheds weight where you don't need it. Includes a leather sheath.
