Zac Wingard of Wingard Wearables joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 425 of The Knife Junkie Podcast (https://theknifejunkie.com/425) and he brings an exciting announcement -- a Wingard Wearables Knife, which Zac has worked on for years. It's gone through multiple prototypes, and it is nearing completion.

Wingard Wearables creates EDC items out of weapons not thought of for everyday carry, like tomahawks, spears, war clubs, and an implement called the "Quill." The new Wingard Wearables Dickpik Magnum is a full sized spike with all of the utility of the DP with added dagger like reach and penetration.

Zac has always been passionate about historical edged weapons, with a special love for tomahawks. 

One thing that many current-day tomahawk makers get wrong (and that Wingard focuses on getting right) is weight. Unlike axes and hatchets, tomahawks are meant to be very light and nimble in the hand and easy to throw.

Each Wingard Wearable is made in America by skilled blacksmiths and bladesmiths and numerous small businesses across three states.

Like the name implies, Wingard Wearable tomahawks, spikes, and quills are intended to be worn close to the body and come with kydex sheaths for the sharp and pointy parts. In fact Zac EDCs his Backripper Tomahawk in the waistband, literally all the time.

These tomahawks and other implements are not just weapons but also intended for utility use. The Thumper, is a wearable bludgeon designed around the Iroquois war club. These are made by Zac entirely in house.
