Case Winkler Hambone Fixed Blade Knife Black Canvas Laminate (4.8″ Black)

This model of the Case Winkler Hambone features a black canvas laminate handle and a black coated 80CRV2 blade.

The Case Winkler Hambone is named after a hard working pack mule named Hamilton T. Bone, “Hambone.” After a 14 year career in the U.S Army and his death in 1971, he was laid to rest in Fort Carson, Colorado. The designer of this knife, retired Army Staff Sergeant Clint Romesha, was also stationed at Fort Carson, which is what gave him the idea of the name of the knife. During a deployment to Afghanistan in 2009, Romesha and his team were over run by enemy forces. Eight of his men died during that mission and Romesha wanted to honor them. There are eight stars on the spine of the blade, one for each of his team members who gave their lives during that firefight.

Features:

• Tough and dependable 80CRV2 steel blade.
• A contoured handle with finger grooves and an exposed pommel.
• Fitted OD Green kydex sheath with a star overlay and belt clip.
