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 Wild Bill Axe was developed for one of the US Government three letter agencies. It was so popular that Daniel decided to open this model up for the public.
Weighing in at just under 1-1/2 lbs, this axe is designed for quick deployment and cleanup. Despite the large, double handed grip area, this hawk has proven to be lighter, quicker and easier to deploy. The full tapered tang is skeletonized, reducing while distributing weight in a way that improves balance and strike force. Overall length is 12-3/4 inches and the head measures 6" from cutting edge to spike. The cutting edge measures 2 inches.
The warm toned, dyed maple handle and cord wrap upper provide a secure grip in wet or dry conditions, as well as excellent shock-absorption. The cord upper protects the handle from being damaged while breaching walls or simply chopping through wood.
A felt lined, Kydex carrier with nylon webbing belt hanger is included.
