We’re proud to announce a new custom steel building project for Winkler Knives, one of America’s premier blade manufacturers known for their craftsmanship, legacy, and rugged performance. Designed to meet the unique operational needs of their team, this new facility will offer durability, versatility, and secure space for production and expansion.
Construction is underway on a large 60′ x 61′ A-frame vertical steel building. This metal building has been engineered with a 3:12 roof pitch and certified standards for wind loads of 105–130 MPH and snow loads of 25 PSF. The structure will feature vertical panel orientation on all walls and the roof, providing a sleek appearance, enhanced water-shedding capabilities, and added structural integrity with added framing included to support the exterior metal paneling—ideal for the unpredictable North Carolina weather.
This facility is not only an investment in space—it’s an investment in precision, production, and performance for the growing team at Winkler Knives. With heavy-duty construction, efficient access points, and separated workspaces, this building will support both the heritage and innovation that define the Winkler brand.
The building, already delivery for on-site installation, is expected to complete in about a week and a half. We’re looking forward to seeing this custom commercial metal building rise quickly and efficiently with the high-quality standards our team stand behind, and a building Winkler Knives can utilize for years ahead.
