Winkler Knives Operator Knife- Walnut Sculpted

Winkler Knives Operator Knife | Built by Warriors, for Warriors

Born from the battlefield and refined for the field, the Winkler Operator Knife is the result of a collaboration between legendary bladesmith Daniel Winkler and Kevin Holland, retired Navy SEAL, Army Special Operations veteran, and accomplished outdoorsman.

This knife was designed with dual-purpose intent: to dominate in tactical applications while still offering practical functionality in backcountry survival scenarios. From breaching to bushcraft, the Operator is the one blade that does both.

Why We Love It

This isn’t just a knife, it’s a legacy of experience from one of the most respected special operations veterans in modern history. The Operator is as tough as the men who designed it, with balanced handling, durability under pressure, and the kind of reliability that makes it a trusted part of your kit.
