The Cold Steel CS90AXFZ Competition Throwing Axe delivers precision and consistency for competitive throwing sports and recreational practice. This purpose-built hatchet combines traditional craftsmanship with modern competition requirements, featuring a balanced design that rotates predictably through multiple throwing distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard utility hatchets, this competition throwing axe features a carefully calculated weight distribution and blade geometry optimized for consistent rotation. The 4-inch cutting edge provides the optimal target penetration required by most throwing competitions, while the 16-inch overall length creates the proper leverage for accurate throws. The 1055 carbon steel construction offers superior edge retention compared to softer steels commonly found in recreational throwing axes.
