WOOX Thunderbird Throwing Axe - Orange

The WOOX Thunderbird throwing axe in orange is purpose-built for competitive and recreational axe throwing, combining a lightweight head design with a 14-inch hickory handle for the accuracy and control serious throwers demand. Whether you're stepping up to competition or honing your technique at the range, this tomahawk-style head delivers the balance and flight characteristics needed to consistently stick your throws. The Italian tempered carbon steel construction is tough enough to handle both the throwing line and camp duties—it'll make quick work of splitting kindling or light chopping when you need a one-handed tool in the field.

The orange finish isn't just for show. If you're throwing as part of a team event or competing in singles competitions, the bold color makes it easy to spot your axe downrange and helps distinguish your throw from others in a match. The Thunderbird meets all official competition standards, so whether you're eyeing a WATL or IATF event, you're throwing with equipment built to their specs.

The package includes a protective sheath to keep the edge safe and prevent accidental cuts during transport and storage, plus a dual-grit whetstone puck so you can maintain the blade's sharpness over time. Real Appalachian hickory provides the traditional feel and durability that throwing enthusiasts expect—no synthetic shortcuts here.
