The Winchester Burl Wood Lockback has a 3-inch satin stainless blade, a burl wood handle with stainless bolsters, a thumb stud and a black nylon belt sheath, closing to 4.25 inches.
Burl is wood grown around a growth deformity, so the grain swirls in tight irregular figures instead of running straight. No two handles come out with the same pattern. It is cut from a section of tree that most sawmills would treat as waste, and burl handles cost more than plain wood despite coming from the same log.
Stainless bolsters reinforce the pivot end where the handle takes the most stress, and resist the tarnish nickel silver picks up. A lockback holds the blade with a spine-mounted bar, and the nylon sheath gives a second carry option alongside a pocket. Explore more Lockback Knives.
