Big Axe Baddy!

While most are likely purchasing this axe based on its ability to chop - it is a workhorse when it comes to axe throwing competitions as a big axe. It can take the abuse from novice / intermediate and is well balanced from head to handle, highly recommend it to anyone looking to purchase their first big axe.

Great Big Axe for Throwing

I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend to throw as a big axe in his axe throwing league. He loves it! Says that it does all the work, he only has to put it there. A huge step up from his Yard Works big axe.

Agdor Montreal

A very nice head. A good all around pattern. I just wish they would offer this head with a 32” hande. For a felling axe, 28” is too short in my opinion. I am in the process of re-handling with a 32”. My Grandfather used an axe to make a living, and they avoided short handles like the plague. If you’re using an axe like a hatchet, fine, but when you’re limbing or felling, you need some length.

Solid axe

I bought the axe for throwing. It is held up well the last two weeks, and I look forward to continuing to use it all in all a solid axe for throwing.

Very efficient!!
