The handle design is also to be able to be utilized as a breaching tool. Many of the modern tactical tomahawks came out of the desire to use as both a weapon and a tool. Great review

Such a great channel. Wish I had found it sooner

Much appreciation for your series on the Winkler Tomahawks. The overall information will be helpful sorting out which to purchase. Alsp the added applications portion could be a training video. As always well done!

Beautiful tomahawks. I'd love to purchase the full size one some day.

I have both of these. And I don’t have any training. The segment at the end where your demoing the two different tools was very interesting. I was impressed by how much more range you had and distance you were covering with the full Size. Like you said they’re not that much different in size. But seeing how the tool was being utilized was really cool

Definitely, I enjoyed your vids on these Winkler RnD hawks. I do also have one and have a found similar experiences on what you found in what each weapon tells you. Not too many people nowadays explains the why/purpose of the design features found in a weapons designs. This led me to design my own variants of a fighting hawk. My first design, I named it “The Multo”. I borrowed design aspects from the Igorot head axe, but with a multi-functional handle. My newest design is called “The Yokai”. This has a different style of blade, meshing the Kunai with a Spontoon blade. It too has an evolution of my multi function handle. If you want to see them, I have short vids on my KZfaq page.

The spiked RnD was originally designed for use in Sayoc Kali by Rafael Kayanan and works wonderfully for this purpose. However, for use by Tier 1 units, the reality is, a tomahawk without a spike serves a much more useful purpose. RnD’s are all the rage because of Terminal List, but if you look at the Tier 1 hawks, they do not have spikes. We’ve all heard the axiom, don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. True enough… actually fighting with a tomahawk or edged weapon in a kinetic environment is the stuff of movies.

I bought the full size, I can always choke up.
