Daniel Winkler
Weight, balance, grips, materials, size, the curve of the blade and the spike and other details has been taken into consideration. From all that I have seen these axe designs are the most thoroughly researched designs available. No detail was left unattended because of cost or difficulty to produce” Daniel Winkler
“The ergonomics and shape of the hawk head and handle is designed for effective grip points. The R&D Hawk is not meant to substitute for a firearm, but complement the training of someone already well- trained with the biomechanics of handling firearms. Why carry a knife or any bladed tool if you do not have your own personal safety in mind? Why not have a tomahawk that is designed to keep the owner free from accidental cuts and bruises, that works directly from their muscle memory? A hawk design that aligns the same safety concerns a firearm user has already ingrained.

Individuals who have familiarity with traditional hawks, karambits, bowies, and short swords can easily adapt their methods to the R&D Hawk due to the versatility they provide.
The R&D hawk is not here to replace hatchets, wood choppers or other hawks on the market but to offer new angles and edges that complement their use.”
