Winkler Knives is a limited production company that custom manufactures a diverse line of high performance edged tools. It was established in response to requests from within the SOF Community for specialized breaching tools and has become widely acclaimed for its no frills approach to tactical and rescue operations. Winkler Knives’ products boast attributes such as tapered or skeletonized tangs, no-glare finishes and multi-option carry systems. Each tool is made from specialty steel best suited to the intended use of the equipment. Our unique processes, executed by craftsmen under the direct supervision of Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler, result in handmade knives and axes without custom made prices.
Winkler Knives has had the honor of providing Team specific knives and axes to some of America’s most elite fighting forces since 2004. The Company’s history of producing custom-made cutlery, as well its origin in working with Special Operations, began long before that.
Developed for Medics that deploy with SOF Operators, the WK Medic Axe has features to meet their unique needs. While their main mission is to treat field casualties, it is not uncommon for Medics to perform combat applications. The WK Medic Axe is an effective weapon, as well as a breaching tool with a “can opener” on the end of the handle.
A partial cord wrapped upper handle is standard on the WK Medic Axe. If the handle is damaged under the head, a new cord can readily be installed. The cord is also an excellent emergency resource.
