This guy's a goober, and I've posted it before, but I really like this one. Pipe Hawk cut down to 17" and wrapped. I think I'll cut one of my handles down to 16-17".

You can clip the spike on top to make it a better penetrator. You can also spray paint it and stipple the haft.  Look at the FDE fast hawk on the right.

I understand maybe not wanting to fold an edge over, but at this point it's basically a hammer that could wedge it's way through clothing and flesh, but I can't cut anything with it, wouldn't be able to process game, and it's not exactly a great chopper.

I bought it new from a certified distributor, but said it was made in 2017.

I just got a new axe that was kind of dull, but just put it on some stones and in a few minutes it was razor sharp.

I'm guessing I should call Winkler customer service? Is it just designed to bash cinder blocks, sheet metal and other things and not do those other tasks a knife could do?

It's not a knife.....its an axe/tomahawk. I have used mine for processing deer/elk with no issue.

That's where I'm at, and after comparing it to the other hawks I got I'm not sure I want to thin it out. Things a beast and I'm fairly certain it's designed for a specific purpose, breaching. I've fashioned an edge on it after a lot of work with diamond stones, but not going to try and fuck with the edge geometry too much till I call up winkler just to verify.

I think the Jenny wren seems to be the most multi purpose, it is sharp, a fairly thick bevel, and isn't too heavy or awkward. Seems a decent woods companion or self defense, I wouldn't want to strike a cinder block with it.

The kestrel seems really delicate, and has a thin/wide bevel. I haven't figured out what it's purpose is, seems like something you fight with.

I'm interested to see how the shrike and Sayoc compare to these. So far the Jenny Wren really seems like a well thought out design for most people, and is my favorite.

I found one for sale for $150, but I'm not sure its worth it if I can get a CRKT Jenny Wren Compact or Kangee for under $100.  I do like stylish blades though...

Worth it?

@SolidState

Mine is scary sharp right around where the base of the point meets the rest of the blade

Now the rest of it not so much

Certainly feel free to sharpen yours up. You can use stones or ceramic rods. The rods would probably be easier if you have a point on your head

Ive had two different ones and neither are what I would call sharp like a knife.

Got you. I think it's part of the design, I've been trying to thrash it against things I would usually be afraid to hit, but leaves no damage on the edge.

So far only thing that has worked are diamonds, as long as I don't accidentally dull it it seems to be taking shape.

@blackwind
Preeeettty sure I have stated already it was and is...sharp. Which part of the above are you failing to grasp? IF you were expecting a knife...you bought the wrong tool. The profile of a Winkler does not in any way support knife profiling the edge.

For those of you with the CRKT Jenny Wren, it appears the scales are just attached via flared tubular rivets? I just ordered one and am thinking about recoating it in FDE cerakote. I can redo the flared rivets myself. OTOH, I could just krylon the whole thing...

That is so bad ass but I'd cry like a bitch if I broke it.
Estwing however makes a hawk that you could decimate a big city secret police brigade with and it might wear a little black paint off.
