Such a great channel. Wish I had found it sooner

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! My channel as a broad category for you to do a look-back! Also, turn on notifications as I have several videos premiering for the holiday weekend! Stay tuned! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

I have both of these. And I don’t have any training. The segment at the end where your demoing the two different tools was very interesting. I was impressed by how much more range you had and distance you were covering with the full Size. Like you said they’re not that much different in size. But seeing how the tool was being utilized was really cool

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! I liken them to a katana and wakizashi - same shape but completely different curriculums.

The handle design is also to be able to be utilized as a breaching tool. Many of the modern tactical tomahawks came out of the desire to use as both a weapon and a tool. Great review

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Beautiful tomahawks. I'd love to purchase the full size one some day.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Great choice and a narrow favorite over the compact! And I mean NARROW!

[@markstallman1670]

Much appreciation for your series on the Winkler Tomahawks. The overall information will be helpful sorting out which to purchase. Alsp the added applications portion could be a training video. As always well done!

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you Mark for your continued support! And yes - MORE TO COME! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽

The spiked RnD was originally designed for use in Sayoc Kali by Rafael Kayanan and works wonderfully for this purpose. However, for use by Tier 1 units, the reality is, a tomahawk without a spike serves a much more useful purpose. RnD’s are all the rage because of Terminal List, but if you look at the Tier 1 hawks, they do not have spikes. We’ve all heard the axiom, don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. True enough… actually fighting with a tomahawk or edged weapon in a kinetic environment is the stuff of movies.

Interesting insights! Appreciate you sharing!

Definitely, I enjoyed your vids on these Winkler RnD hawks. I do also have one and have a found similar experiences on what you found in what each weapon tells you. Not too many people nowadays explains the why/purpose of the design features found in a weapons designs. This led me to design my own variants of a fighting hawk. My first design, I named it “The Multo”. I borrowed design aspects from the Igorot head axe, but with a multi-functional handle. My newest design is called “The Yokai”. This has a different style of blade, meshing the Kunai with a Spontoon blade. It too has an evolution of my multi function handle. If you want to see them, I have short vids on my KZbin page.

[@RolandoEstocada]

Thank you - the Multo looks very scary!

[@fugu_facesr.7081]

Thank you for taking the time to look at them. I designed them to complement my skillsets learned from Serrada Escrima, Silat Suffian Bela Diri and Muay Thai. Both my Multo and YoKai are balanced at the middle of the handle, so you can do broken strikes easily and change hand positions without over committing.

[@RolandoEstocada]

@fugu_facesr.7081 that is excellent!

[@RolandoEstocada]

@fugu_facesr.7081 email me at [e-mail] to discuss further.

[@fugu_facesr.7081]

Sounds good!!
