Winkler Hammer Combat Axe - Maple - Black Cord Handle

The Winkler Hammer Combat Axe in maple is the natural wood version of the breaching axe developed for U.S. special operations. The maple handle gives this model a traditional look compared to the laminate versions while the 80CRV2 head and hammer poll provide the same breaching and camp utility. Maple has been a signature Winkler handle material since Daniel Winkler's hand-forged custom days, and it connects this tactical tool to his broader craft heritage.

The head is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish and a 2.5-inch cutting edge. A hammer poll on the opposite end provides a flat striking surface for breaching, driving, and pounding tasks. An integral glass breaker extends past the end of the handle for emergency extraction. 80CRV2 is a carbon-vanadium tool steel chosen for its resilience under hard impact. Total length is 13.75 inches at 1 pound 11.1 ounces.

The maple handle is wrapped with black paracord for cushioning, grip, and emergency cordage. Maple is a softer, grippy wood with a dark stain that gives the tool Winkler's signature pioneer aesthetic. The paracord wrap can be removed and replaced if it wears, and it serves as an emergency supply of cordage in the field. The felt-lined Boltaron sheath provides a quiet draw, protects the edge, and mounts in multiple carry positions.
