What a throwing axe is

A throwing axe is lighter and more balanced than a chopping axe. The head and handle are shaped so it spins smoothly and lands blade first. Most people use them for backyard fun, target practice or as a conversation piece on a shelf.

Throwing axes in this collection

United Cutlery makes most of the axes here. The United Cutlery AirCobra Throwing Axe is the highest priced, and the United Cutlery Blackjet Throwing Axe has a dark finish that looks sharp. Gil Hibben fans can choose the United Cutlery Gil Hibben Pro Thrower Throwing Axe or the newer United Cutlery Gil Hibben Generation 2 Pro Thrower Throwing Axe.

The United Cutlery Wes Hibben Throwing Axe with Sheath includes a cover for safe carrying. If you want a hatchet style piece, the Whetstone Frontiersman Throwing Axe Hatchet is the budget pick.

Getting started with axe throwing

Most beginners start with a light axe and a soft wood target, because a gentle throw teaches good form. Stand square to the target, grip the handle near the end and let the axe rotate once before it lands. Distance changes the spin, so move forward or back a step until it sticks cleanly.

Safety comes first, so keep people and pets well behind the thrower. Retrieve axes only when everyone has stopped throwing, and never throw at hard surfaces such as stone or metal. Buying a set means you can throw in turns, which makes a good game for friends.

Picking your first throwing axe

Weight and balance matter more than looks. A well balanced axe is easier to learn with, and a sheath keeps the edge safe in a bag. Pick a design you like to hold, because comfort helps you throw more steadily.

Prices on this page run from $33.97 to $59.97, so you can buy a pair without a big spend. You will also need a proper wood target and plenty of clear space behind it.

Care

Wipe each axe dry after use and check the handle for cracks. Store them in a sheath or on a rack so the edges stay protected.

Setting up a safe throwing spot

Before you pick an axe, think about where you will throw it. You need a solid wooden target, a clear lane and plenty of space behind it, so a missed throw does no harm. Keep other people and pets well away while you practice.

Throwing has grown into a friendly hobby with leagues and backyard games, and many beginners start with a simple, balanced axe and a sturdy stump. Gifts for outdoor fans are easy here, since a throwing axe pairs well with a target board and a good sheath.
