I’ve got three cool things for you from Winkler.
First off, any Winkler knife is now available in a training version which is made from nonmarking plastic.
This is the new Extrication Axe. It’s longer and beefier than the Rescue Axe.
Finally, is a new version of the Dagger. This NSW Dagger has a rubber handle for grip.

Thanks for the yogurt pants.
Axe looks really nice but why on earth not a true handle instead of the cord?
Anyone who has used a cord wrapped axe/knive for a period of time comes to the conclusion that real grips are needed or gloves. Winkler makes kick-ass tools and he is far more knowledgeable in this area than I am so is there a reason for cord over wood or micarta handle?
Winkler Knives? Are the sheaths made from Fonzie’s leather jacket?
I strongly dislike cord wrapped handles on expensive knives. If I’m spending several hundreds of dollars on a winkler product, I want a quality handle.
I understand that it’s just an option, but he should knock off 30% or more of the price, since the perfectly fitted wood or rubber handles are a big part of the pricetag.
