DEVGRU Master Chief Terry Houin knows a thing or two about covert carry and defense in hostile environments. He’s also an experienced global hunter. He drew on both backgrounds to design his version of the ideal travel knife for defense and field chores.
Winkler Knives has a long history with Terry and his ninja friends. They build hard use knives and tomahawks for hard operators that have seen every dark corner of the earth. They were a natural fit for this collaboration.
At just under 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch hybrid drop point blade, it rides light on the hip but hits well above its weight. Full tang for brute strength. Sculpted thumb ramp and finger groove for control when it’s time to bear down. The curved handle profile disappears IWB or cross-draw. Finished with a white oak handle that’s as tough as it is handsome. This is a do it all knife.

"Knife is great! Have several winklers but this one just holds right in the hand. Good factory edge and perfect size to carry inside or out of the waist. Added benefit is the handle, the white oak looks better in person for sure. Can’t wait to skin with it!"
"This thing is probably the nicest knife I own and has already become my go to for field use. The fit, finish, and quality of this knife is impressive. I look forward to having years of use and passing it down to my son eventually. The white oak handle is a nice touch has a good fit in the hand with no hot spots created. Out of the box this was sharp as a razor. Put it to good use breasting out ducks about 2 weeks after receiving. FE collabs will always be my go to pick ups as you can trust them to work when you need them too."
"I recently went into Mast General and handled all the Winkler knives they had and honestly none of them were really jiving with me. I decided to take a chance on this knife because I loved the profile and what I had seen on the 60 sec reviews. Dare I say its perfect. Stupid sharp, solid construction, and feels like an extension of your hand. Not to mention, the beautiful sheath it comes with has to be worth over $100 if you were to purchase it separately. Well worth price. I have no doubt this knife will eventually end up in my sons hands and outlast him."
"This blades fit and finish is excellent. I expect it to excel at everything from day to day tasks, up to and including human consumption in a back up or as an interim self defense tool working toward a primary system. The leather sheath is well made and the blade fits well and stays in place. I would like to see a Kydex sheath option and possibly different attachment options."
"As an avid Winkler fan and customer, I can confidently say this is the best knife in their lineup. It strikes the perfect balance between an EDC and a field knife. The sheath offers multiple carry options—on the belt, IWB, horizontal, or deeper pocket carry. If you’re fortunate enough to find one available, snag it."
"Glad to get collection grade Winkler tied to a DEVGRU hero. Very usable tremendous pedigree piece. Sheath very nice too !!! Shape of the “Sweet T” …Well Sweet !!! Looking forward to getting a great collaboration by FE!!!"
"Old school look and feel on a primo piece of metal"
"Great quality, fast shipping"
"Back in the days when men were both savage and sweet…. Nothing better than chopping some steaks or filling some salmon over a nice coal grill!!"
