Winkler Knives Blue Ridge Hunter 80CRV2 Black Laminate Fixed Blade Knife

The animal is down. The real work begins. You reach for the blade you trust, sharp, quiet, and perfectly balanced. The Winkler Blue Ridge Hunter doesn’t just perform in the field. It was built for it.

Crafted for serious hunters, bushcrafters, and professionals who demand reliability in tough conditions, the Blue Ridge Hunter is a compact fixed blade knife that blends premium materials with exceptional real-world performance. Whether you’re skinning and field dressing game, preparing firewood, or handling camp tasks, this knife offers the control, durability, and comfort you need.

The 105 millimetre trailing point blade is made from high-performance 80CrV2 carbon steel, hardened to 60 HRC for long-lasting edge retention. A flat grind ensures smooth, efficient slicing, while the Caswell black finish reduces glare and resists corrosion in harsh environments.

The black canvas Micarta handle provides a solid grip even in wet or slippery conditions. With its ergonomic contouring and thumb index file work, it feels secure and responsive in the hand. The full tang construction is skeletonised for reduced weight and excellent balance, giving you fine control for both detail work and heavy cuts.

The sheath system is designed for quiet carry and maximum versatility. A leather-lined Kydex core protects the blade and allows for a completely silent draw, while the outer leather cover softens contact noise and adds a traditional aesthetic. The ambidextrous design and belt clip give you multiple carry options, whether you’re on foot, at camp, or moving through thick scrub.

Handcrafted in the USA and trusted by military personnel and experienced outdoorsmen, the Blue Ridge Hunter is built to earn its place in your kit.

Precision built. Field proven. Silent and dependable. This is everything you want in a premium hunting and bushcraft knife.
