Wood Handled Throwing Hatchet - Axe

The axe throws well but it was too loose at the head but I fixed it with some super glue.

Heads ok. Handle wood at top to hold axe head Metal filler ring which made the top of the wood handle much smaller. Ask head stuck into target handle broke all of them not worth the money

These are poorly designed for throwing axes. I bought five of them. Three of the handles broke off on the first throw, a fourth broke on the 3rd throw. They aren't designed to be able to rehead the blade on another shaft, so it's trash once broken.

Unfortunately I waited about 6 months till I took it out to test. It threw very well up to the fourth throw when I noticed a little wobble with the head. The fifth throw stuck but the handle just dropped to the ground. I thought it broke but, no the miniscule of adhesive dislodged and the wood in the head compacted no longer retained a tight fit. I tried drilling a hole for a screw in the top but, it only stays tight for two throws at best. I'll try some of the suggestions others mentioned

Nice balance. I ordered 3, Heads were a little loose so epoxy took care of that. They throw well.

This is not recommended for seriously hard work, it's not made to throw in to a tree but, for something similar to a dart board,and thrown litely not for Killin zombies or serious self-defense. Better to make a wall decor or something to look at.

This is a throwing ax folks. The ax head is supposed to come loose to keep the handle from breaking. It is not supposed to be sharp for cutting since it is designed to be thrown at wooden targets. It works fine when used for what it was designed for.

Poor excuse of a ax when I got it, but the fix is fairly easy, cut the nub off ,cut the alum. ring out, grind the end of handle down to a tight fit in the head, you'll have a shoulder on the handle, drill a hole through the center of head, put a 3 inch wood screw in in hole you drilled, screw in tight. I've been throwing since and the head not only stayed on it stayed tight on handle, it really throws good, it surprised me how good.

The axe head is made excellent. the handle is also good, however it was poorly put together.

As all the other reviews say the handle broke off after three throws.

Opened mine up and handle wasn't secure to the head. Stain from the handle was all over the head. No sharpness at all on blade

The handle broke off the head with the first throw. The wooden part that goes inside the ax handle is very thin and short and can't withstand the impact of the throw. It was complete disappointment for my son when he got to play with his birthday gift. And a waste of time and money for me.

Very disappointed this product is not meant for use I didn't even get ten throws out of the two of these I got before the heads came loose

It looks like a competitive throwing axe, but like the other comments, it lasted about 3 throws. It loosens on the first throw, became worse the second and broke off the third. Some alterations makes it a very poor thrower.

...lasted 3 throws. VERY POOR!!! Save your time and $, don't buy one of these.

you get what you paid for poor work man ship.

The handle came loose on the first throw, I should pay more attention to the item details, they were smaller than I was anticipating. big let down. I have to modify them to have a workable hatchet.

This throwing axe is little more than a toy.If you want a semi cool showpiece,you got it.Its junk,bought three,and broke one just by tossing it lightly. They are not made for improving on there junk. Gave them away and called it a loss. Check out other ones,Bud K still rocks. Shop smart, do your research,and remember you kinda get what you pay for.

first throw and the head came loose if budk is going to sale them as throwing hatchets they sould make sure they are what they say they are throwing hatchets

Head broke off of both of these that I received. They throw and stick well but just wont last more than a few throws
