Knifemaking
Winkler has been making knives since 1977 and is a certified Mastersmith with the American Bladesmith Society and designed and built the knives and tomahawks for the 1992 motion picture: The Last of the Mohicans.[1][2][3]
Winkler was primarily known for his Native-American or pioneer-style influenced designs until 2012. In that year Winkler became involved with military and tactical knives and tomahawks.[4]
Winkler is also credited in the New York Times for having his hatchets used by the Navy Seals, particularly Seal Team 6. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/world/asia/the-secret-history-of-seal-team-6.html?_r=3&referrer=
