impressed that someone here knows winkler's work. his combat axe is a thing of beauty.

They look like works of art.

My new push knife with a hand sculpted walnut grip fresh out of the box. It is freakishly sharp, well worth the wait.

A work of art. It's 80CrV2 steel that his heat-treating process brings up to an HRC of 60+ without resulting in any brittleness; Winkler blades are known for having incredible sharpness, lateral strength and wear resistance (love the black oxide no-glare finish too). I used to have another WK push with a black micarta handle that I recently gave to a cousin who I made amends and got reacquainted with last year. It is my favorite type of blade to carry, and the history is fascinating as well.

A push dagger (alternately known as a punch knife, or push knife) is a short-bladed dagger with a "T" handle designed to be grasped in the hand so that the blade protrudes from the front of one's fist, typically between the index and middle finger. It originates as a close-combat weapon for civilians in the early 19th century, and also saw use in the trench warfare of World War I.

The push dagger appears to originate in the 19th-century Southern United States. As a concealable weapon, it was a favorite choice of owners requiring a discreet knife capable of being used for personal protection. The push dagger was especially popular among riverboat gamblers and residents of the larger towns and cities of the Old Southwest, particularly gamblers and émigrés from the city of New Orleans, Louisiana.

The reality of static trench warfare in World War I created a need for short, handy close-combat weapons. With pistols in short supply, a variety of knives and other stabbing weapons were created or issued to troops serving in the trenches. Originally most of these weapons were fabricated in the field but soon factory-made examples of push daggers appeared at the front, and were used by both sides in the war. The push dagger re-emerged during World War II, where it was first issued as combat weapon for British commandos, SAS, SOE, and other specialized raiding or guerrilla forces requiring a compact and concealable weapon for sentry elimination or close quarters fighting.

The sale and possession of a push dagger with blade perpendicular to the handle is prohibited or restricted in many countries, such as the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and Canada. The laws of several U.S. cities and states prohibit or criminalize to some degree the purchase, possession, or sale of push daggers or knuckle knives.
