At last week’s USASOC Sniper Competition we were offered a look at the upcoming Small Belt Knife by ABS Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler.
Seen above with the Belt Knife for size comparison, the new Small Belt Knife was created as a smaller, lower coat alternative to the standard model. Aside from moving to the 4-1/2″ blade, another factor contributing to the lower cost is that the Small Belt Knife has a full tang rather than the more complicated tapered tang found on the original. This also makes the SBK easier to manufacture which will help alleviate the backlog for the Belt Knife. Look for it by May, 2015 from www.winklerknives.com

you mean lower cost?
they’re already pretty low cost for a hand-made semi-custom knife…
just asking if it was a typo, but I agree with you
This looks to be just the ticket. Awshum.
It’s a lower price, but do we know what the specific price is?
looks like a case ridgeback i know i know looks doesnt mean its the same thing
A tapered tang option would be great.
I gifted my dad a belt knife for his Birthday a few year ago and I’ve always wanted one for myself lol.
