Description: Daniel Winkler became a fulltime knifemaker in 1988 and received accreditation as an American Bladesmith Society master bladesmith in 1993. He has spent more than three decades studying and perfecting the nuances and handmade knives. Winkler Knives is a custom manufacturing operation that represents the evolution of Mastersmith Daniel Winkler’s knifemaking expertise coupled with the needs and field experience of Tier 1 Special Operations Teams from around the world.
This tool was crafted in the Winkler Knives shop in Northwestern North Carolina by skilled Blue Ridge Mountain artisans. It was created to provide unfailing performance and to last a lifetime. The Winkler Knives touch mark represents their unwavering commitment to producing the highest quality knives, axes, and breaching tools available.
The Legacy Axe was designed with US Navy and Army Veteran Special Operator Kevin Holland. He is the guy who first came to Daniel Winkler to create a military axe so it’s great to see him lend his experience toward new designs.
The Legacy Axe shares many lines with that first model that Kevin carried into combat. One of the biggest changes is the swept back handle so the axe doesn’t catch on the leg as you walk. The top half of the handle is skeletonized and wrapped in 550 paracord. This provides added comfort and allows a section of the handle to be repaired easily if damaged during use. Sculpted maple scales provide a sure, comfortable grip. 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.
The head measures approximately 6-1/4" from the spike to the cutting edge. The cutting edge is approximately 2-1/4" long.
The Legacy Axe is accompanied by a felt lined Kydex carrier with nylon webbing belt hangers.
