Winkler Knives Woodsman 80CRV2 Green Laminate Fixed Blade Knife

When you're deep in the Australian bush, you need gear you can count on. The Winkler Woodsman is a purpose-built fixed blade knife designed for serious outdoor use, whether you're carving tent pegs under the eucalypts, breaking down firewood in the forest, or field dressing game out in the scrub.

Crafted in the USA by Winkler Knives, this knife features a 10.8-centimetre drop-point blade made from tough 80CrV2 high-carbon steel, finished with a no-glare Caswell coating for stealth and corrosion resistance. The blade geometry allows for everything from delicate feather-sticking to heavy batoning through wood, making it a go-to tool for camping, hunting, and survival in the harshest conditions.

The green canvas laminate handle is shaped for all-day comfort and a secure grip in any weather. Thoughtfully designed features, such as the thumb ramp, indexed file work, and a full-exposed tang, give you precision and power in equal measure. The extended tang on the pommel is perfect for striking, and two integrated lashing tubes/lanyard holes give you extra flexibility in bushcraft or emergency setups.

What sets the Woodsman apart is its sheath system. The knife rides in a custom sheath with a Kydex core, soft leather lining, and a rugged leather outer layer. The lining keeps your knife silent and scratch-free, while the outer shell helps deaden sound from any knocks or contact in the field. It’s fully ambidextrous and adaptable to multiple carry styles.
