Combat-Ready Axes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Winkler Combat Axe is Virtually Indestructible

— August 28, 2018 — Art & Design
Inspired by the tool carried by Rogers Rangers in the 1700s, the Winkler Combat Axe is custom made and nearly indestructible. Designed for military and law enforcement use, the Winkler Combat Axe can easily be used for self-defense and breaching applications. A fast draw carrier comes included with the axe and allows the user to easily draw the tool in distress while also ensuring it stays sheathed when not in use.

Featuring a full tang handle, the Winkler Combat Axe utilizes 80CrV2 steel for the blade and a handle of black micarta. A replaceable paracord wrap covers the upper half of the sculpted handle and can easily be removed and replaced if damaged. The back of the handle also features an integrated glass breaker which can be used in conjunction with the optional hammer version axe head.
