WINKLER KNIVES SD1(woodsman, razorback) 2024 unboxing

[@anthonymusso5282]

Ive got the sd knife, carried it for probably 2 years now. It's on me everyday. I want to love it but it got me looking at other knives. I sweat a lot here in louisiana and it takes more maintenance that i would like bc of rust and the blade is hard to keep razor sharp.

[@ghozt9119]

No you should not do that. Veterans earn the discount

[@jonathancupp3686]

Winkler knives are way too thick behind the edge. Okay for a forest knife, but not for edc or hunting. He has good quality, but he needs to learn a thing or two about grind geometry. Not every knife should be a crow bar.

[@allan4800]

Daniel Winkler is an American Bladesmith Society Master Bladesmith. I'm going to take a wild ass guess and say that he probably already knows a thing or two about grind geometry.

[@jonathancupp3686]

@@allan4800 well, that may be, but he sure doesn’t incorporate it into his blades.

[@ussgearlocker]

@@jonathancupp3686 how many knives have you made? 👍🏽

[@jonathancupp3686]

@@ussgearlocker not nearly as many as Winkler, but I still know what I like and what works. I’m a user, not a maker. And to answer your question, only three, but I don’t like them either. I’m not saying Winkler knives are trash, they just aren’t meant for finer tasks. As a survival knife they would be fine, but I would never edc such robust blades. You Winkler fan boys sure are thin skinned. Is no one able to have an opinion that contradicts yours?

[@GhostManCutlery]

@@jonathancupp3686As someone that loves my Winkler knife, and I do EDC it (paired with a much slicier folder), I would have to agree with you that Winkler knives are not fine cutters. Can you baton wood in a pinch without any worry of breakage? Yes. Could you pry a doorframe off? Yeah. Are they pointy enough even when the edge is dull to kill a man? Yes. Will it open an MRE? Definitely. I’ve never worried about breaking my Winkler and I haven’t been easy on it. I do, however, know that none of his knives are great for hunting, yet he uses Huntsman, Hunter in his naming structure, and that’s silly and misleading, considering. I don’t like that he does that while making tools designed for other purposes. Winkler knives in their current form were made for a last ditch survival tool/weapon for warfighters. He sacrificed cutting capability for strength, and they fit that bill. But to pretend they are excellent at doing cutting tasks is silly, and you’re right about that.

Kydex!

[@ussgearlocker]

@@jameslang1354 That's what I said. Keep watching the video. 👍🏽

[@Skinnymoose]

Winkler knives dont cut for crap.

[@ussgearlocker]
