Tatanka Double Bit Throwing Axe 650mm - 1.2kg

The Tatanka Double Bit Throwing Axe 650mm - 1.2kg is a professionally crafted axe made for users who appreciate traditional workmanship, dependable handling and a tool that feels right in the hand. With a forged C45 carbon steel head and a durable 650mm hickory handle, it offers the balance, strength and control that matter to bushcraft enthusiasts, forestry users, landscapers and outdoor professionals who need equipment they can rely on day after day.

For keen gardeners managing rough ground, woodland areas or camp work, and for tree surgeons or ground care professionals who value practical, hard-wearing kit, this axe is a strong choice. Its double bit design and substantial build make it especially suited to controlled outdoor tasks where a secure grip, steady leverage and predictable handling are essential. Whether you are preparing wood, clearing material or working in challenging conditions, the axe delivers a reassuringly solid feel.

The axe head is hand forged from C45 carbon steel, the European equivalent of AISI 1045 medium carbon steel, giving an excellent blend of toughness and edge retention. Each head is heat treated, oil quenched and tempered along the cutting edges to improve resilience under repeated use, while the hand-finished construction supports structural integrity and a refined, traditional character. For experienced users who value quality materials and authentic craftsmanship, that difference is immediately apparent.

The 650mm hickory handle provides natural shock absorption, a comfortable grip and excellent control during use. Hickory is highly regarded for outdoor tools because it combines strength with a forgiving feel, helping reduce fatigue during repeated handling. That makes this axe particularly appealing to users carrying out regular work in the field, as well as hobbyists who want a tool that feels balanced, responsive and well made.

With an overall weight of 1.7kg and a 1.2kg head, the Tatanka Double Bit Throwing Axe is designed to feel purposeful without becoming awkward to manage. The weight distribution supports steady handling and good leverage, making it suitable for users who want a traditional axe that performs well in practical outdoor settings. It is a dependable option for bushcraft, forestry and general woodland duties where control and consistency are just as important as strength.

This is an axe for people who value experience-led outdoor equipment and want something that feels properly made. From home gardeners tackling heavier tasks to professional users needing robust, reliable tools, the Tatanka Double Bit Throwing Axe offers a compelling combination of traditional forging, durable materials and excellent balance. If your work or outdoor interests demand confidence, durability and a classic finish, this model is well worth considering.

Care guidance

1. Maintain the factory edge angle when sharpening using a fine-tooth axe file and finishing stone.
2. Dry the axe head thoroughly after use and apply a light coat of axe wax, boiled linseed oil or 3-in-1 maintenance oil to help prevent corrosion.
3. Treat the hickory handle periodically with natural linseed oil or axe wax to help prevent drying and splitting.
4. Store the axe in a cool, dry location with a suitable leather sheath fitted to protect the cutting edges.
5. Inspect the axe before each use, checking both the handle and head for signs of wear or damage.
