Since 2004, Winkler Knives has been crafting high-performance knives and axes trusted by elite Special Operations Forces and discerning outdoor enthusiasts alike. Handmade in Boone, North Carolina, by Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler and his skilled team, each piece embodies rugged durability, precision, and a no-nonsense approach to tactical and field utility.
Winkler Knives are designed with input from Tier 1 Special Operations Teams, ensuring they meet the demands of the most extreme environments. Using premium USA-made steels like 80CrV2 and proprietary heat-treating processes, these knives deliver unmatched strength, edge retention, and reliability. From the versatile WK Belt Knife to the combat-ready WK Tactical Dagger, every blade is purpose-built to perform and endure.
Every Winkler Knife comes with a custom sheath designed for practicality and versatility. Crafted by Karen Shook, these Kydex-lined leather or Boltaron sheaths offer secure retention, quick-draw capability, and multiple carry options—vertical, horizontal, or MOLLE-compatible. Tested extensively by active-duty operators, they ensure your knife is always ready when you need it.
Rooted in the spirit of the American Frontier, Winkler Knives are tools meant to be used. Whether you’re a Special Forces operator, a survivalist, or an avid outdoorsman, these knives are engineered for real-world challenges. Features like no-glare finishes, skeletonized tangs, and ergonomic handles tailored to SOF specifications make them as functional as they are iconic.
