The axe incorporates features from the four team specific Breaching/Combat axes that Daniel has been making for SOF Teams. The 1.5 lb weight is the same as those carried by elite operators. A full length integral, tapered and skeletonized tang lessens overall weight and provides a no fail handle. Caswell no-glare finish provides protection and a viable tactical application. Forward weight distribution packs an effective blow, while a secondary hand grip under the head gives the option of quick action when needed. An integral glass breaker extends beyond the handle scales. Felt lined Kydex carrier with nylon webbing belt hangers.
Daniel Winkler has been making knives full time since 1988 and has more recently started the Winkler Knives product line after working with the Special Forces Teams in the United States Military and Allied Forces from around the world. The knives and axes in the Collection are all custom made in his shop. The product line are created through the stock removal process instead of being hand forged. The Winker Knives line utilizes the same standards of excellence in craftsmanship as his hand forged work and they are born of Warriors' experience. Information from Winkler Knives.
