Description

WK24KS68: Twenty24 Combat Axe/Hatchet

Winkler Knives

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 Special Operations Forces community for specialized breaching tools and has become widely acclaimed for its no-frills approach to tactical and rescue operations. Their unique processes, executed by craftsmen under the direct supervision of Master Bladesmith Daniel Winkler, result in handmade knives and axes without custom-made prices.

The WK Twenty 24 Axe redefines the tactical hatchet by stripping away excess weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Crafted from a thinner 1/4" 80CrV2 carbon steel stock, it delivers a lighter, faster, and more agile swing than traditional Winkler axes, making it a premier choice for breaching, extraction, or camp utility. The entire tool is finished in a non-glare, rust-resistant black oxide coating.

This specific model features a shortened, exposed skeletonized tapered tang wrapped in premium Black and Natural Burlap Micarta handle scales. The textured burlap weave provides an ultra-secure, slip-resistant grip that actually becomes more secure when wet with sweat, rain, or mud. Designed to take the brunt of heavy abuse, the shortened scales protect your hands while leaving the heavy-duty butt end exposed for pounding. Opposite the fierce 2.5" cutting edge sits a devastating rear spike, engineered for digging, prying, and puncture work. Lightweight, exceptionally balanced, and built for the field, this is a rare, heirloom-quality hard-use tool.

Limited production run from, you guessed it, 2024. Includes signed box by Daniel Winkler.
