Cold Steel Competition Throwing Axe

Built For The Target

The Cold Steel Competition Throwing Axe is made for one job: leaving the hand cleanly and sticking in a wooden target. It pairs a wide, flared steel head with a straight wooden handle, a simple layout that throwers can repeat from one throw to the next. It suits league throwers, backyard target setups and anyone learning to throw who wants a purpose-made axe instead of a converted shop tool.

Features

• Wide Flared Blade — The head flares out toward the edge, giving a long cutting edge that offers more chance of biting into the target board.
• Polished Cutting Edge — A bright, ground bevel runs the full length of the edge, set apart from the rest of the head.
• Textured Head Finish — The flats of the head carry a rough, matte surface instead of a high polish.
• Straight Wooden Handle — The handle runs straight with no curve or swell, so the axe sits the same way in the hand on every throw.
• Squared Poll — The poll, the back of the head opposite the edge, is flat and squared off.
• Natural Wood Finish — The handle shows its grain under a light, plain finish with a rounded butt end.
• Dedicated Throwing Design — Cold Steel built this axe for competition-style throwing rather than chopping or splitting.

Head And Handle

This is a commercial Cold Steel product, not military surplus. The steel head mounts at the top of a single straight wooden haft, and the overall shape is close to a classic hatchet with a broader blade. The plain, uncluttered design leaves nothing to snag on release, which is what a throwing axe needs most.
