Very nice tool
Learning a ton about throwing and how I throw with this axe. I think this axe is an excellent base line to learn with and a good value at the price.

Welton B.5/5Verified
We have 3 different axes that we let customer try and everyone chooses the WATL!
Eduardo G.5/5Verified
Excellent axe, easy to throw. Kiln dried 2X6 lumber is a poor choice for target wood though, this axe, like any other, can destroy 2X6 lumber very fast. After sharpening the axe a little more than the edge it came with, even poor throws stick.
Jeff M.5/5Verified
Love this axe! The weight is perfect for me and it’s at a great price. I’m currently using this axe for doubles!
Joshua B.5/5Verified
We use them here at axe Country

I'm new at this, but the Competition throws great and sticks. I also have the Butcher, different, but equally accurate.

Daniel R.5/5Verified
I included a picture of the wrong axe in my review. I don't know how to correct that so I'm making another review with the correct pitcher.
Love the axes btw.
Steve W.5/5
Bought two. Throw them every day. Haven't been able to brake them yet. The way I throw, I should have.
Steve W.5/5Verified
Really like the feel of this axe.
Jenny W.5/5Verified
Perfectly balanced and easy to throw and if necessary chops wood like a hot knife through butter.
Brett F.5/5Verified

Great balance and stick. I will be buying more.
Mark B.5/5Verified
This is my first axe from WATL and at first I thought there wouldn't be any difference between it and my camp hatchett. I was wrong! I threw for an hour and stuck a solid 85% of my throws. I'll definitely be upgrading soon.
Christopher M.5/5
I only use WATL products! By far the best out there!
Keith V.5/5Verified
Sweet little thrower
Jared W.5/5Verified
We ordered these Axes for one of our venues (Elev8 Fun) and they were fantastic. Quite a big step up from the ones we had been using prior. Our guests like knowing that they are using official gear. 10/10 will order again in the future!
Christopher S.5/5Verified
Great thrower
David C.5/5Verified
I think this is the best throwing ax I could find as a gift for someone getting into throwing.
Mike V.5/5Verified
The axe throws pretty much like any other. the whet stone is great and the perfect six stencil dosen't seem worthwhile unless you have the correct markers to use with it. Other than that, i have no complaints.
Vince K.5/5Verified
This is such a high quality axe. I love everything about it and am so excited to use it!
Tammy G.5/5Verified
Great feel. Even better customer service.
