Review on 🪓 Viking Throwing Axe - Dominate Your Next Tomahawk Competition! 19" Hand Forged Hatchet from High Carbon Steel, NMLRA Approved, Defect-Free Guarantee! by Harald Patterson

This is my second throwing falcon. I've had the first one for about 10 years, he's had thousands of litters and is still a fantastic throwing falcon. This one isn't much better than garbage. The finish of the steel head is terrible, the inside that contacts the handle is very rough and unfinished and quickly began to erode the wooden handle. I had to spend a lot of time with a metal file to remove sharp corners and edges from it. The wooden handle didn't fit the head snugly, I had to spend a lot of time sanding it to get the right shape for the head. There is no edge on the ax and it took an hour's work with a file and stone to get the center edge. After all that, I was finally ready to leave him. Big disappointment. It just doesn't feel balanced. I throw two axes in a row. I can't miss the older one. I can't bat or make a new stick. It won't stick to the tree if the other doesn't have a problem. A closer look reveals a couple of issues this could be causing: The metal around the grip is considerably thicker on this compared to the old one, so most of the weight of the head is on the back rather than the edge. I think that this affects the balance significantly negatively. There is also a distinct bend in the blade. I don't know if it happened that way or if it was caused by throwing. In any case, this is unacceptable. Don't waste money.
