I like the faint whistle it gives when I throw it. Solid hawk and made in America but still somehow a third of the price of the made in China competition. I'm a carpenter and I swing Estwing for work and play :)
Initially, I COULD NOT get the estwing to stick while throwing. Likely a combination of a dull blade and a harder wood target. But for those who can throw two rotations or more, this hawk works. I throw this thing and let it hit the target on its second rotation through the air. From that far back, you can really put your shoulder into the throw and the result is a good stick/impact.
Nice, you know what I want to see. Longer distance throws. It would be cool to show yourself in the video throwing. One, so we know it's not a stand in, haha, and two, I think people can always benefit from watching others form and style.
WeAllJuggleKnives I will be posting a new axe throwing video probably at the beginning of next week. I'm using the Condor single bit throwing axe. What a beast. I hope you swing by and check it out brother. Have a great day.
I cut off the rubber grip and did a Paracord braid on mine with a wrist loop at the end. Throwing didn't improve without a bit of practice but my grip was definitely better. Felt like I was throwing a hammer before.
Because of the camera angle grouping is hard to judge horizontally, but vertically except for one it looked pretty tight.. I'm not focused on your individual skill level, just the axe's ability to keep it consistent. I had a friend's for a while because the grind was really uneven. I don't throw my own beyond a few times to test them, but the weight and balance didn't make it seem that it would lend itself for throwing. Watching it done makes me question my impression.
Back to the basics for you, pick up a bunch of used lumber and buy a estwing claw hammer and then pull ten thousand nails with it and then try throwing your estwing tomahawk. Wax on wax off, and like in the movie, blood sport ,claud van dam is told to start by sweeping leaves.
When they make some more good folders, I will review them. Lately, I haven't seen many that catch my interest. Whereas machetes are very useful for little cost.
Hi, I've been forging Estwing tools for over 25 years now. Why the heck are you throwing my work around? HA! That's really not how that tool is suppose to be used. I guess we are going to have to add another sticker to the handle neck that reads... "WARNING THIS TOOL IS NOT FOR THROWING". Be safe and keep buying Estwing hand tools.
+Terry Dodge Ha! Well, you know, my dad was in Nam and guess how often he and his buddies used daggers and bayonets for tasks that were not their intended purposes? All the time LOL, mostly opening crates or cans with them :] But you make some great tools, buddy, just wondering if you can add some modifications for better throwing haha, just kdding :] :]
+WeAllJuggleKnives We have a few all steel knives that are going to be hitting the shelfs soon. Not sure how they are going to juggle. I'll be watching for your review.
+Terry Dodge I can't wait to see the knives. Do me a favor, if they have a Social Media Rep or Director of Marketing over there, tell them to message me on here, I'd love to do videos covering their new blades.
I'll see what I can find out. I can tell you that they are full one piece forged steel including the handle that is finger formed fitted and which is also powder coated. There will be a few different lengths to choose from,

If at all possible I'd love to see you do product tests in relation to breaching.
Justin Prather Check out my older video on this hawk, I hacked up a pallet

thank you for your review! i used estwing framing hammer only. but i just decided to buy estwing tomahawk.
Welcome, friend!
Cool video man. Nice tosses. Badass blade too.

Everything looks better with paracord.

I actually had some trouble throwing this. It didn’t want to stick as the blade is a little thick. Did you grind yours down a bit?
Please Estwing, could you make the "same" but with a real full steel handle please ???
It does have real steel running all the way through. If you don't like the handle then cut the vinyl rubber off and fit some g10 scales or something
You throw left handed. Didn't notice till I watched it a second time
I've had problems throwing mine because the grind angle is so steep it doesn't want to stick into wood.
Throw harder.

I have one in want to learn to throw. can u throw it to where the point sticks?
can you tell me how to practice
ya but will it kill a "bar"?:):)
I guess it depends at what kind of bar you're throwing it at? steel bar, aluminum bar?? :)
A grizzly bar, perhaps?
what kind of wood are you using just bought this and tried pine wouldn't stick at all. thx
Jesse Henderson can't get mine to stick at all
End grain. Pine boards are actually tough to stick
The second video cuts off how you're holding and throwing it.
Sorry, this is an old crappy video probably, check out my Cold Steel Recon Hawk video, it's newer, shows throwing a lot better.
What is the best hawk for trowing according to you?
you should do more than just one spin, I find two spins more fun with this tomahawk
Ed Thöne Sorry, I haven't been able to master 2 spins with a tomahawk yet, I can only do it with my Schrade machetes so far.
WeAllJuggleKnives the other thing is I started with throwing axes first, then knives, I think it's harder with knives I guess
@@FitnessOver60 I find knives easier, but I started with knives lol
Please get back to reviewing good folders. You and nutnfancy were my go to's for that, now just him because all you seem to do is machetes. haha
When they make some more good folders, I will review them. Lately, I haven't seen many that catch my interest. Whereas machetes are very useful for little cost.
folders are boring. I'd rather see a machete or any other large blade. size matters, lol!
I have dreamed several times making a throwing kill in battle. I think all throwers had similar dreams.
And I think we imagine something far more badass than we are capable 😆
