Throwing axe? I bought this for throwing competition and I like it, it throws well but I prefer the Collins camp axe in 1 1/4 pound for throwing as that’s ideal for my throwing style. I now use this at work for general purposes.
Great big-little axe !! Perfect for my indoor fireplace when splitting 12-16â logs even when driving the axe blade thru the wood with a 4-5 lb sledge hammer. So far… after splitting some 30 -40 pieces of cord wood, still solid !!!
Itâs okay, but the days of a good Collins axe are over. -1 for the stickers would rather have a forge stamp like back in the old days. -1 for the grain orientation being mediocre at best. Axe was dull. I expected that but there was no bevel at all let alone a secondary. I fixed all that with a proper mill bastard file. After it was ready to take out it did a decent job of limbing and very light splitting. The edge held for a while, but eventually flattened out in a couple of places. I wish I knew how far back the bit was tempered. If I have to file…
