Winkler Knives Axe: Wild Bill Axe
Live inventory. If you can add it to your cart, it is in stock and ready to ship!
The Wild Bill takes a more classic small axe/tomahawk design, but features more modern construction and design elements that really turn it loose (hey, it's called 'Wild", ain't it?). The head is a classic shape with semi-bearded design for better control when choking up and an end spike great for piercing and prying. The non-linear handle profile allows for two separately designed grip area that aid in various tasks. The full length skeletonized tang is tapered for a strong yet surprisingly light tool.
The Blade: Convex ground with nice curve for maximized cutting edge length and length and finished with Caswell black oxide finish. End spike for piercing and prying.
The Handle: Curving profile with hole for lanyard/hand strap. Skeletonized tapered tang for weight savings and optimal balancing.
The Sheath: Kydex scabbard with soft liner and nylon snap loops. Shock cord retention system for fast deployment.
Note: Winkler products are hand finished. Every scale has been hand contoured, and sculpting is done by hand. Additionally, materials vary a little bit, whether it be due to natural variations in wood, different batches of micarta or G10, or anything else. We take stock photos that are representative of the product you will recieve, but due to all the variables we stated, each one is totally unique and may vary a bit.
