I love the heft and make of the hawk head. This is the real thing. I’ve had 3 tomahawks in the past and found the shaft and head flimsy and cheap. Not this one. Would buy again!

They look really cool and great quality. Cant wait to try them in the woods!

My grandson absolutely loves it

Bought as a gift for son who just bought his first house. Beautiful craftsmanship. Blade on ax was sharp upon receiving. Great buy! Plan on buying again for next housewarming gift.

If your purchasing this for the rough forged look you will be disappointed I ordered it for the looks and was greatly disappointed when it came painted and looking cheesy. That being said it does skate a file so it is heat treated. Also as other users have said it comes with no edge. Overall it's good just disappointed that it doesn't have the amazing rough forge.

The overall length is PERFECT(unlike other shorter ones out there). The head is well designed and made. Feels good in the hand and the sharpening stone is a nice plus. Overall a good package deal at a fair price. I prepare the handle to epoxy the head onto it... solid as a rock.

Good quality lightweight steel axe that takes a keen edge, the handle is hard wood but was some what lose do to being dry from storage a good soaking in a bucket of water fixed the issue perfect for bush craft and taking scalps if needed during the coming ragnarok

It’s great that it comes with a rubber blade protector, I was worried about having this sent in the mail. The most accurate way to describe it is that it looks like it’s a used throwing axe.For some, the worn out look might be a draw, but it is worth noting. My axe head also showed up detached from the handle, and while I was able to mallet it into place, it does not inspire confidence because the wider end is still quite narrow. I am worried about the head flying off the axe mid-swing. There’s also no varnish where the head is “supposed” to sit, but that spot is so far down on the handle that putting the head there lets it slide freely.Good for a project axe or a little decorative piece. Bad for an actual axe.

I'm not a thrower so I have used this as a light axe in the context of bushcrafting/camping (I did not pay for this product, it was sent to me to review on my YouTube channel). Even though it's designed for throwing, it makes a good light axe for bushcraft-type tasks, especially for the price. The head is sturdy, symmetrical, constructed out of high carbon steel, with a hardened bit (these features should be standard but, unfortunately, are not always present in budget axes from lesser known brands). I found the fit and finish to be very good for the price. The top and bottom are ground to remove burs and painted black to match the sides, which retain the as-forged finish. The poll and bit are bare steel polished to a medium grit and then the whole head has a clear-coat to prevent rust during shipping. The head weight and handle length are decent compromise between portability and efficiency.This axe features a particular and uncommon combination of a bearded blade, beefy poll, and a slip-fit handle. The large, square poll is useful for batoning (splitting wood by clubbing the back of the axe), driving tent pegs, and limbing conifer logs (while saving the edge from the hard knots at the bases of limbs). As is typical of most axes, the poll is not hardened, so avoid striking metal-on-metal if you're concerned about damaging the axe (but if you're stuck and the axe is the only tool available, have at 'er, it didn't cost that much anyway).The bearded design is good for carving and shaving tasks (such as making tinder) because you can choke up on the handle right behind the head for leverage and control. This design allows for a wide cutting edge while having a short eye that is easy to fit a handle to.The slip-fit construction means that the handle can easily removed for more convenient packing as well as for sharpening. Slip-fit axes come loose easily but can be tightened up simply by tapping the handle further through the eye. Once wedge-fit axes loosen, tightening them is an ordeal and often requires a complete rehanging and possibly a new handle. Compared to wedge-fit axes, slip-fits such as this one are *much* easier to re-handle in the field should a handle break occur. A branch or sapling can be used in a pinch. It's also easy to make your own custom handles of different lengths that can be swapped out for different jobs.The edge comes with a 'courtesy grind' so it will split kindling but if you want to do anything more you will have to sharpen it yourself. With the exception of costly boutique axes, this is an industry standard and what I expect from most axes (including better known, more expensive brands made for actual forestry work) . Better a light touch at the factory than a poor, mass-produced sharpening job that has to be fixed by the end-user anyway. Sharpening is part of owning and operating an axe. I recommend a 10 inch mill file or specialty axe file. A fine smooth file or an axe puck (or other stone) can refine the edge but is not essential for a well-functioning axe.Based on the example I have, the edge steel is hardened but to a moderate degree. The hardening is a design/manufacturing choice representing a trade-off between hardness and toughness. Very hard blades hold a fine edge for longer but run a greater risk of cracking or chipping, which can ruin the blade. Unsurprisingly for an axe designed to be thrown at things, this one is closer to the other end of the scale but it still holds an edge adequately for chopping and splitting. While it requires more frequent sharpening, it is easier to sharpen and is likely to be tougher than a harder-edged axe would be.Cons: 1) I think the handle is a bit too slim at the top so that there is not much margin to account for drying/shrinking or for adjusting the hang and fit. Mine works fine and is secure, but it's close to being too small. 2) At this time there does not seem to be a premade sheath or mask available for this axe.

Best throwing hawk I have (over six other hawks) also the handle stays on the best of all my hawks after throwing . One problem is can’t get a hold of customer service to answer a question I would like to get a spare handle. They need a phone number and email address to send a request to. ***(Jon communicated to me by email and solved the customer service problems.) It’s still my favorite hawk. yeah! **** just ordered another one for my financial advisor!

[PROS] 👍✔When wrapping my hand around the axe handle I found my grip to feel confident without any slippage✔Tested over 20 axe throws in my backyard and found the precision reliable, the weight balance is proper for throwing✔The design of the axe head is well crafted with an interesting color scheme[CONS] 👎✘Blade is a bit dull, sharpeners are cheap and easy, however it's a step I would have liked to skip for a new product[PRODUCT EXPERIENCE] ⭐⭐⭐⭐👉The THRWCLUB Throwing Axe is currently priced as $4.99 with a -$3.00 coupon at the time of this review. The axe is priced fairly, looks and functions as expected; it's a good beginner throwing axe and/or someone on a budget looking to get their feet into weapon throwing sports (axes, knives and even darts).4.5 stars.

Very fun throwing axe, the design is very good, it is very fun to throw, and it can also be used for small things

Great axe, feels sturdy with the long arm, bought as a gift
