Winkler II blades

[bourneshooter]

So I'm trying to fill in a gap in my blade role. I currently carry a dedicated fighting blade - Emerson Karambit being most common - and a Leatherman of some sort (Wave, MUT, etc.).

I realized I don't have a big fixed blade for the role of outdoor survival. Been saving up for a Winkler II blades stabby device. Anyone have one? Any experience with one?

Currently I'm leaning towards a Belt Knife.

I like a good belt knife but l am a Gerber LMF man. No idea about the Winkler blades.

if you want a 'bullet proof' blade, look for a Buck Strider 888. it was a collaboration between Buck and Mick Strider. i have had mine for several years.

Those Winklers look great. I love the camp ax. But they are way too rich for my blood.

I have gotten into Becker blades. They have a wide line. The two I have (BK2&BK7) are pretty much indestructible. Can't beat them for the price.

I can't find it on the website, but I'll try to remember to get the details tomorrow... for a 'big' fixed blade, I love my Schrade. It has ripped through a moose' or bear's ribcage like nothing I have ever owned before. Seriously.... a SERIOUS knife!!

good lord, man. killing trucks? :) down here we call the Machetes.

[Sniper-T]

ever gut a moose? them bad boys call for a big blade!

[robsdak]

can't say that i have. can't be any harder than doing a deer, i suppose, just BIGGER. i am sure my Strider would make short work of it.

[Sniper-T]

for the most part, yeah, if you carry a saw or a hatchet. but to cut through the ribs (either side of sternum to open chest cavity) a big knife makes short work of it. Personally I hate farting around with a saw.

Do the two legged kind that walk around Walmart count?

[Sniper-T]

only if you're going to eat them...

:eek:

sure, i carry 2 in the toolbox on the truck both Estwings E24A and E45A. polished and shaving sharp. i don't care much for fooling around with it either. do it, be done and off to something else.
