Truper 30516 1-1/2-Pound Half Hatched Axe, Hickory Handle, 14-Inch

Good

The axe is good quality for the price. I actually bought it due to its closeness to the alleged tool used by Lizzie Borden. My forensics students thought it was neat, as well.

In my search to find an axe that would fit my needs throwing I tried this one out. I liked the quality, they feel and the durability. It was just not a great fit for me in my throwing pursuits. But for the money give it a shot if you are looking to get started throwing axes. The thin blade and balance of the hammer on the back help it sink into the wood, so if it feels good in your throwing hand give it a shot

Handle was not very sturdy. Axe head is incredibly sharp out of the box. Handle shattered after about 50 throws. Nice throwing axe for the price but don't expect it to last forever.

Very sharp. Usable as shipped

I bought this in May, finally unwrapped in August as I got a stump set up to throw while camping. I took a few throws before I let my girls throw, handle broke on the 7/8th throw! Just a log, no rocks or metal ... but it splintered just below the blade. Sad. Day.

This thing is tough, great for splitting kindling

Blade looked like a broke tooth jack o lantern in no time
