It is with great reluctance that i have to part with this piece (MechanixWear Gloves not included).
A review on done with it and posted here (with all the specs handy):
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/969474-Winkler-Knives-II-Breaching-Combat-Axe














The green slab was sent to Dan to make the handle.
Axe wasn't used after the review. Edge is sharpened,cleaned and oiled. Comes with Winkler Knives II product certificate.
The H13 font was written by Dan since he only made one batch with this steel. (I believed he no longer uses H13 and Rescue axe comes in S7 only)
Although it is not stainless, H13 is pretty rust resistant and requires very little maintenance.
Tough is an understatement for this steel.
The felt lining Dan used on his kydex:

This will sound weird but i was looking through the old emails between Dan and I ; i was throwing questions like punches and Dan took it with great patience and wisdom. I am convinced and would not hesitate to buy from him in the future.
Axe survived destructive tests and looking at the bright side, you now know what the axe is totally capable of!
Damage is 750USD, shipped with tracking #, insurance and 42 + feedback.

Your Breaching axe was a design I developed for testing by the Air Force PJs and NSW. Your axe is one of about 10 we made. It is no longer available.

The felt lining Dan used on his kydex:
Both linings are adhesive backed and are adhered to the Kydex before it is cut. The main issue is you have to find a material with an adhesive that will hold up to the heat required to form the Kydex.
