The Case Winkler Pack Axe was co-designed by Kevin Holland, a survival expert with over 2,000 combat missions across the globe as a U.S. Navy Seal and a member of U.S. Special Operations.

The Pack Axe features a single 3/8”-thick handle made of 80CrV2 carbon steel that eliminates cracks, splinters, and other common weaknesses of traditional wood-handled axes. The axe’s cutting edge is ideal for clearing branches, making kindling, and a variety of other chopping, splitting, and clean-up duties. Its blunt hammer end is great for pounding stakes, driving nails, tapping rocky terrain, or tackling small-scale demolitions. Easy to handle, the Pack Axe measures 15 inches long and weighs 26 ounces.

Other highlights include durable canvas laminate grips; tapered, skeletonized handle for better balance; paracord wraps that can be used for other tasks; and reinforced nylon straps for belt carrying.
