I located this set in an antique store in Wis Dells. The dealer had priced it @ book & then some. I just drooled a bit & let it go. 6 mo later ... it was still there .. a yr later .. it was still there .. I kept checking & about a yr & 3 months into it .. the dealer put everything on sale & I picked this up for ..
It's certainly one of my favorites !!!
Fantastic set!
Thanks John!
Thanks John!
I have a few Case fix blades. I just inherited a Case filet knife my Dad used for many years. I have an old Case hunting knife I bought off eBay several years ago. Now Case has partnered with Daniel Winkler to introduced the Case-Winkler Skinner. Daniel Winkler has produced cutting tools for over 30 years. I met him at the Blade Show last summer. He is a very gracious man. His knives are carried by special operators from many countries around the world. https://winklerknives.com/
I received my Skinner sample a couple of weeks ago. My first impression was this knife is made by Case but has Winkler written all over it. In fact it says Winkler on the opposite side of the blade from the Case marking. The blade is right at the maximum length I like my skinning knives at 5 1/4 inches. Here are the specs:
Overall Length: 9.50 inches
Blade Length: 5.125 inches
Cutting Edge: 4.75 inches
Blade Thickness: 0.20 inches
Blade Width: 1.25
Blade Material: 80CrV2
Blade Style: Clip Point
Blade Finish: Black
Edge Type: Plain
Handle Material: G-10 green camo
Weight: 6.62 ounces
Sheath: Black Leather
Brand: Case
Model: Winkler Skinner
Made: USA
MSRP: $325.00
Can Be Found: $295.00
I too have this knife but I'm not sure if I like the sheath. The knife is nice though!
The sheath is a signature of Daniel Winkler. He makes his knives mostly for Special Forces and Navy SEALS. In time of high stress, fasteners and straps get into the way. I like the design as I climb up into a tree stand or wade through thick brush, there is no strap to hang up on limbs and if accidentally released loosing the knife.
This is just a few That I have
