Tomahawks and modern throwing axes

The tomahawk axe

Tomahawks are old-fashioned throwing axes, known from the Native Americans. They often have a long and relatively thin stem and a small, light head. This means the weight is quite low and well-balanced, making the Tomahawk perfect for throwing. With its light weight and versatility, the tomahawk is also becoming increasingly popular among bushcraft and hiking enthusiasts.

The modern throwing axe

Modern throwing axes are generally smaller hand axes with a large head for their size and a sturdy handle. This makes them strong and gives the axe a relatively large cutting edge, which makes it easier for it to get stuck in the target. The small size means they fit perfectly in one hand, and you can easily take them with you in a backpack.
