15.7" Competition Axes, 1065 Manganese Steel Throwing Hatchet, Beech Wood Handle for Axe Throwing

My son has been wanting a set of throwing axes for years now, and I finally relented and bought him a set. I can’t profess to be an expert at throwing axes, but this set that I purchased for him is durable and the quality seems to be high-end. I watched him throw them a couple of times and they fit right in his hand and the head of the act did not loosen so I guess they work well. Practice should increase his throwing ability, but he did manage to stick a couple into the side of the tree. I rate five stars.

These competition axes are well made and feel durable. The 1065 manganese steel has good material quality, and the beech wood handles give a nice grip that doesn’t slip. After several sessions, I haven’t noticed any head looseness, which is a big plus. The throwing ability is smooth, well-balanced, and they stick to the target reliably. For a 3-pack, the value is excellent—great for anyone getting into axe throwing or practicing regularly.

I was surprised by what great quality these practice axes are for the price! Nice, heavy, strong blade. Perfect for practice (plus they look really cool)

The first axe I got had a loose head and a warped blade. Immediately requested a replacement, thinking "oh maybe I just got a defective one." Thats not the case. Replacement had a loose head as well, even worse than the first one.If I had thrown either of these, they'd have broken quick. Now I've gotta wait for a refund AND drop both of these off at UPS to be shipped back. What a waste of time.

These axes are very heavy duty. They're very well-made in the heads are on really tight so there's no wiggle. Also, added bonus, they are actual axes so you can use them to split wood

These feel super solid and the wood grips feel great to hold. I got them to try some throwing in the back yard and they work great and feel durable

The media could not be loaded. Bought these as a "cheap alternative" to my more expensive throwers so I can let the guys, gals, and kids at my hunting club use them during our club gatherings rather than having somone ruin my "good" ones but, these turned out to be the "good ones" when I tested them at home.First, the come extremely sharp for these type of axes and the blade angle is PERFECT! Second, Top that off with the fact that they balance at a perfect "landing" angle, I used my forearm to slide them up until they stayed by themselves at their center of gravity and they all sat the same way. About 1/2 " back from the head, with the handke at a near perfect 45° angle. Third, handle wood hardness. This was surprising to me, they feel comfortable, light, and are formed for small, medium, and large hands to grip but also fits XL hands comfortably so at first it feels like a very soft-ish wood but, after accidentally absolutely SLAMMING one of these against one of my other "good" seasoned handles, (I won't explain the stupidity) I was surprised that my old, "shot hardened" handle broke and didn't even leave an indent in the new one!!! SO, I used my heavy tow chain safety test fuage to put it under a measurable amount of stress and it held straight as the anchor axe I used again, snapped instead!! (from the same old "good" set referred to earlier. So I couldn't get a PPSI reading, but the fact that it has no vibration upon impact tells me these handles are 100% safer, stronger and harder than my over-priced "professional grade" competition throwers! Very shocking to say the least!So, to the metal, the ahead angle is perfect in my opinion, it seats perfectly even with light throws and allows for easy release from the wood target. Just for more torture, I used one to chop at a medium hardwood log waiting to be split for firewood until it went dull but it never actually went "dull", it just lost a bit of its peak edge. 4 passes on each side brought it right back to dangerously sharp with no need to follow up with ceramic stone to polish. It self polished like a good carbon mix metal should. Also included are head "anchors" in case one comes loose or you need/want to adjust the handle lenths or replace them but, I'll definitely never need them if I didn't destroy one already. So, for the price, I ordered 2 more sets. 1 for me on competition nights, and 2 sets for using at club & home gatherings so I have enough for two throwing lanes at a time if a lot if people want to compete. I'm highly and pleasantly surprised at their quality!! 10/10 "wood" recommend:)

Axes received do not look nearly as good as the ones pictured. The logo isn’t even etched into the head as pictured in the AD
