The winkler is super cool, and it is very capable, but for pure wood processing, it is definitely not as good as a GB. I would never carry the weight for hunting, so the animal use is out for me.
I actually carry it with me most days, and when i'm out on the ranch, it comes along because there is always poison ivy to cut, and other random things to clean up. It is small, light, and easy to carry on the belt for chores. For real woods work though, a GB gets the nod everytime.
