Description
The WK Shadow Strike stands out as one of the most unique designs in the entire Winkler Knives lineup—a blade born from fiction, perfected for reality. Originally imagined by best-selling author and former Special Forces Captain Jason Kasper for his Shadow Strike book series, this knife became real when Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler brought the concept to life. Kasper envisioned a slim, fast-handling fixed blade with a secure finger guard and a profile capable of disappearing behind a mag pouch or riding comfortably inside waistband carry. Winkler turned that vision into a purpose-driven tool worthy of both elite operators and everyday professionals.
Crafted from tough 80CrV2 steel with a black oxide, no-glare finish, the Shadow Strike delivers dependable strength and clean slicing performance in a refined, easy-to-carry package. At just 9.5 inches overall with a 5-inch blade, the knife offers exceptional cutting ability while maintaining a compact footprint. The skeletonized full tang keeps weight down without sacrificing durability, and the integrated thumb rise and finger guard provide confidence and control during hard use.
Each Shadow Strike includes a lined Boltaron® sheath with an Ulti-Clip, allowing for discreet pocket carry, waistband carry, or horizontal belt mounting—giving you the flexibility to run the blade exactly how your mission demands.
