is this good for throwing at wood

Yes depending on the type of wood you throw it on. Soft or worn out woods would be best.

The knife is stainless, and with a near-perfect throw spinning /with/ the grain of an oak board, might stick fast. I would suggest throwing at a softer target, or ideally at log cross-sections. If you are throwing at oak log cross-sections (disks made by cutting an oak log twice through 3-4 inches apart), then you would be fine with these. They are not ideal for sticking in hard targets, however. 12-inch, heavier knives like the Expendables replicas available on Amazon are better for hard wood practice. Remember that a throwing knife is not meant for hard targets. The device just doesn't work well that way. These small knives are plenty durable for me so far, though. Just try not to hit any stone or concrete, and make sure you are throwing with good pace.

Understanding that you will probably go through many tomahawks over the course of throwing them as a hobby, you could do worse than this one. I think it would hold up to quite a few throws, even the damage I did to mine wouldn't stop it from being a good beat around thrower. It will stick on either the blade or spike side (which is good for your self-esteem). The handle is a little long for throwing (in my opinion). I'm not sure which product on Amazon I would recommend to learn. Any of them that are heavy enough, will be just fine.

My ten year old son uses it for defense. Great for defense but I don't believe the ball will return at pitching distance. If it doesn't return completely it's still better than throwing at a five gallon bucket.

It is heavier than my throwing axes but if you can handle the weight it throws fine. It is used as a hammer so will handle impacts well. It has a set screw in the head to help lock the handle in place.

I have had it for about a year now and split wood, dug trenches, hammered tent spikes down, and had a lot of fun just throwing it at trees. Even with all that beating it is still solid. I love this little axe.

It is Not the best I would use a gil hibben axe but it may stick it really matters the use all and all I suggest not to throw it

Yes it throws the leaves on the ground, its a great tool! I love it, has nice power aswell, try to use it before it rains, heavy wet leaves will take a little longer

It throws out both wood chips and sawdust, but, more of the chips. It also depends on the hardness and grain of the wood. I find this tool can be very dangerous on hard woods as it can skip off the work piece if you are not paying attention to the grain. It is a wonderful tool if used correctly.

this would work great for that, if the person throwing is skilled enough to hit this size target.

I throw mine. It is heavier than a traditional throwing spear but it does work as one. Your range is going to be somewhat limited due to the weight. I would suggest upgrading the shaft to a lighter wood or some type of composite. I throw mine into pine rounds and am thoroughly impressed with the strength and flexibility of the spear head itself.

Short answer is yes, it can. It is very sturdy, but heavy, in a pinch to save a life, if I had to, I might throw it. But this is not a balanced throwing knife, it is a beefy, heavy, double edged dagger style seath knife, and quite frankly its almost nice enough to be a work of art. The picture does not do justice to the damascius deep rich pattern. I have throwing knifes, and was also very good throwing the Sykes-Fairbairn and K-Bar military fighting knives, this one would not be one I would chose to use in that way.

We just used for throwing at targets. It broke very easily after being thrown into a tree or plywood

It's a pretty heavy duty knife! By that I mean it's durable enough to throw, but it's heavier then a typical throwing knife. If there's a will, there's a way so I would say yes to your question.

I have a small piece of property and carry this with me in the woods. I have cut small branches, invasive vines, and thrown it ALOT with out any worries of it breaking or hurting the performance. So in summation, yes, it will definitely handle heavy abuse and throwing at log, trees, stumps, etc. I have hit the hilt and handle many many times without any permanent damage.

I throw them at wood everyday. The design makes them a little less "point strong" than a Cold Steel Tru Bal or something but I have had no problems and after a rain my targets tend to get pretty hard due to the amount of pine resin in them. They won't last forever but I've already put thousands of throws on mine and I keep them sharp so they stick with no damage.
