The Case Winkler Skinner is a new fixed blade knife crafted col-
lectively by Case and Winkler Knives. The design is the result of a de
-
cades-long career in knife making by Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler
and the extensive experiences of retired U.S. Army Special Operator and
Navy SEAL Kevin Holland.
The Case Winkler Skinner is the first in a planned series of col-
laborations aimed at celebrating American heroes, an idea brought to
life by Case’s historic military contributions and Winkler Knives’ ongoing
involvement with U.S. Special Operations. The knife is manufactured at
Case in Bradford, PA using blade and handle materials provided by Win-
kler Knives in Boone, NC. Each is built by an elite team of Case knife
makers whose work is held to strict quality and performance standards
equaling the reputation of Winkler Knives’ custom manufactured blades.
The Case Winkler Skinner is a high-performance field knife that
is lightweight, well balanced and built for dependability. The flat ground,
distal tapered Trailing Point blade is made from tough 80CrV2 steel,
known for its enduring lateral strength, superior edge retention and ease
of sharpening. The full tang is skeletonized and tapered to reduce weight
and improve balance. The knife is accompanied by a molded black leather
sheath that’s specially reinforced to help keep its shape, ensuring a con-
tinually snug fit when not in use. A reversible belt attachment accommo
-
dates carrying the knife on either side of the body. All of these premium
features make the Case Winkler Skinner the perfect ally to take on hiking,
camping and hunting adventures, and a welcome addition to any military
operator’s kit.
Daniel Winkler, with more than 30 years of experience to his cred-
it, brings multiple disciplines to the Case Winkler Skinner project - as
a Master Bladesmith, respected metallurgist, blade geometrist and full-
time knife maker who, through Winkler Knives, has served some of the
most elite Special Operators across all branches of the U.S. military. As co-designer of the Case Winkler Skinner, Kevin Holland
brings decades of intense military expertise to this collabora-
tion. A highly decorated veteran member of U.S. Special Oper
-
ations, Holland’s vast knowledge of knife design, construction
and tactical use hails from the many different situations and
extreme environments in which he had to depend on knives
to survive. Holland’s real-world experiences helped craft the
Case Winkler Skinner into an optimal field knife as well as
an essential accessory to Special Operators everywhere.
Case is honored to work with Winkler Knives, to
develop a series of high quality,
high performance knives to pay
homage to the men and women
who are depended upon to answer
the call to serve - their families,
their communities, their country...
no questions asked. Made in the USA. |
