Universal Full Tang Spiked Axe Tomahawk Wooden Handle Ultra Lightweight Tactical

These are a great throwing ax for the price. They are not perfect but you are paying less than $20 so enjoy them. I bought 12 of these for a kids weapons camp and we had a great time teaching them the art of throwing. They held up great considering the abuse we gave them. We did have one break but with a simple call and emailed photo to the seller the replaced it free. I spend a lot of time throwing knives, tomahawks, etc. Breakage is to be expected but these held up nice and would buy them again.

I was looking for a compact product as a light-weight carry item for hiking. That's what this is. I liked it because it was full tang, which ought to eliminate replacing handles and messing about with loose heads and such as with conventional hatchets. However, I have found it to be a little too short and light-weight to do any serious cutting. Furthermore, on the first day of use one of the handle screws, aka: "Chicago Screw," (the screws that hold the handle on) went missing and the remaining post was already loose. I think that had I possibly anticipated this, I would have removed both of them and reassembled using some "loctite" on the threads. This may have been enough to prevent their loosening and loss but I think the real issue is the that the barrel of the post is too short, 5/16", and should be 3/8". Unfortunately, to buy that one part would likely require buying multiple amounts of them at a cost roughly equivalent to nearly half the tomahawk itself (search Amazon for: 3/8'' Chicago Screw). In short, the item is cool looking and lives up to it's promise of being small and light-weight but, unfortunately, is not engineered or assembled well for practical use.

VERY poor quality, wooden handles fell off with one throw.

First 5 mins of the first time throwing the Axe broke at the top of the handle near the head. Sad face

ONE picture ... one. And you expect anybody to buy this product based on this great plethora of information regarding this hatchet?
