Tomahawk Throwing Axe

Description of the Product

The Tomahawk is a single-handed axe from North America. Originally Native Americans developed the Tomahawk as a stone axe. Primarily it was a weapon, but like all good axes it was multi-purpose, used in cutting, chopping, and hunting. With the introduction of metal by the Europeans into the new world, the tomahawk too improved.

The Tomahawk has never really gone out of style, and in addition to its continued use by the US army, Tomahawk throwing is a popular sport, especially in the States.

The 4" edge on this tomahawk gives you the maximum target penetration potential under competition rules. Hand forging makes these tomahawks strong and tough. It gives the steel better temper and makes it easier for you to sharpen. Round poll holds the hardwood handle snugly. The handle is attached with a metal wedge, which makes it easy to replace if needed.

This axe is designed as a throwing axe, but that does not mean that it is indestructible. The handles of throwing axes come under a lot of strain, and they constantly break when practicing.

There is so much mass in a throwing axe, that a quick stop at the point of impact produces a hard shock to both the target and to the axe. Even if you are an experienced thrower, the handles require replacing every so often, because the angle of the axe does not have to be too far from a perfect hit, for a large part of the impact energy to be directed to the handle instead of to the blade.

Of course, the durability of the handles also depends on experience, that is, when you get a good feel for the axe, the hits are more perfect, and bad hits don't happen as often, so the handles start to last longer. With throwing axes, the changing and making of new handles is a part of the hobby, which is why you can get cheap spare handles for many throwing axes, with an emphasis on easy and quick replacement.
