Case Winkler Skinner

Hunting knife

About

The Case Winkler Skinner is a high-performance fixed-blade hunting knife, resulting from a collaboration between Case and Winkler Knives. It features an 80CrV2 carbon steel blade, known for its durability and edge retention. The blade is flat-ground and distal tapered, providing a versatile cutting edge suitable for various outdoor tasks. The knife includes a non-glare black oxide Caswell finish, enhancing its resistance to wear and corrosion. The Skinner's handle is crafted with a skeletonized full tang and sculpted G-10 scales, offering a secure grip while keeping the knife lightweight. It comes with a reinforced leather sheath that includes a reversible belt loop for versatile carry options. This knife is part of the American Heroes Series, celebrating military heroes. It is designed for general-purpose use, with a blade profile that is both pointy for self-defense and curved for skinning and carving tasks. The aggressive thumb jimping provides excellent blade control, although some users find it too pronounced for extended use.
