Winkler Combat Axe - Black Canvas Laminate

The Winkler Combat Axe in black canvas laminate without cord wrap is the clean-handle version of Winkler's spike-back breaching axe. This configuration omits the paracord wrap found on the corded version, leaving the contoured laminate handle exposed for a slimmer profile and direct grip contact. Some users prefer the bare handle for a thinner grip and faster deployment from the sheath.

The head is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish and a 2.5-inch cutting edge. A spike on the opposite end provides a piercing point for breaching, prying, and ice work. 80CRV2 is a carbon-vanadium tool steel built for resilience under the repeated hard impact that breaching and combat use demand. An integral glass breaker extends past the end of the handle. Total length is 13.75 inches at 1 pound 11.1 ounces.

The black canvas laminate handle is equivalent to micarta and provides direct grip contact without the added bulk of cord wrapping. Laminate maintains consistent grip in wet, cold, or dirty conditions. Without the cord, the handle profile is thinner and allows a closer feel of the tool during precision work. The felt-lined Boltaron sheath provides a quiet draw, protects the edge, and mounts in multiple carry positions.
