Is this axe good for throwing? It looks aerodynamic enough (you know, for an axe), but will it withstand the impact?

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.

Well, I have never thrown it. It seems a bit heavy for that in my opinion. I use it mostly for yard work and splitting small pieces of wood. But sure, you could throw it and there's no doubt in my mind that it is more than strong enough for that purpose. Hope that helps

No, it is a solid figure with moving appendages. More of a desk statuette than anything. If it will be played with, the axe doesn't really stay in the hand too well nor for too long.

Yes, actually each side of the axe head where The handle attaches has a waffle pattern specifically for hammering. I haven't used them yet but based on the weight of the hatchet I would think it would work pretty good for light hammering.

The Blade, yes. It's made of a flexible, but durable foam. After a few hits into a blunt object it will show some bend marks, but it still works. The handle, no. It's rigid. As well as part of the axe body

This is my first "throwing" weapon that I have bought and it is perfect to my standards. A few of my friends have said that the front is slightly to heavy but I don't see that problem.

It's actually one of the more heavy duty versions this company offers. I would stay away from the other regular looking knife. But this one and the axe are nice and sturdy and durable... And sharp! You'll impress with this knife, and the sheath is pretty cool too!

It´s a well balance knife and yes you can use it for throwing, my kid and I spend time throwing knife, the only thing you have to take care is the paracord if you throw another knife and hts the cold steel on the paracord it will cut it, it a great knife, hope this review helps.

This is a tactile hatchet made for any uses a hatchet is used for. But its off set head is great for throwing, Tha but of tha head is good for braking windows, door nobs, door hinge's, ext... I'v chopped throw a brick with this with vary little wear & tear to my edge...

I think so - I used it for combat simulations and throwing practice, and the blade hasn't snapped off yet. It stings a bit if you're hit with it when it's thrown, but nobody has been injured.

It is pretty durable, but remember it is foam and not for aggressive play. Also, it seems to fly through the air better when thrown backwards. Bottom line, can't go wrong for the money.

I haven't tried cutting or throwing with it at all, but it is made by Sog, and like my other Sog knives, they hold up incredibly well! It's not very sharp, but that's so that the axe blade holds its strength.. The sharper, the more brittle. YouTube it, I saw some dude slamming this axe on bricks and aluminum.. As a torture test.

1. No, it's a display piece. 2. Why would you take a gorgeous axe like this to cut wood with?? I mean, seriously....

The axe itself is much too light for splitting and the blade is too thin to be an effective splitting wedge. I would likely get stuck. It is fine for limbing though. I most often used a much heavier double bit axe, one sharp edge for limbing and kept the other edge dull for splitting using a heavy steel wedge and sludge hammer for large twisted pieces like the ones a at the base, near the roots sometime are. I use this light axe with a keen edge for limbing now.

If u had too. I wouldn't buy it if that's ur sole purpose. It is a fantastic camp axe though. Very durable.

You'd need to be skilled in throwing spears in general, and I'd recommend a counter weight at the butt to balance the spear for flight. It's not specifically designed for throwing, but with enough skill and modifications you can make a washing machine fly.

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