Axes For Axe Throwing

We get a lot of inquires about what the best axes used for axe throwing are and what type of equipment people should be using. We wanted to create a resource to direct people to our recommendations of axes people should use for axe throwing.

The World Axe Throwing League (WATL) manufacturers axes specifically for axe throwing! These aren’t axes you can find in a local hardware store, they are specially crafted for WATL standards and axe throwing in general.

NO MORE DROPS

WATL’s ultra-thin profiled blades help you stick the axe to the board every time. No more worrying about not throwing hard enough. Axes are generally meant to split wood, but WATL axes are meant to stick easily to boards.

THROW LIKE THE PROS

WATL axes are specifically engineered for axe throwers of all skill levels including the highest level of competition as seen on ESPN. They are also great for beginners who are looking to get started.

GOODBYE WRIST FATIGUE

Ranging from a total weight of 1.9-2.2lbs, WATL’s perfectly balanced axe lineup will have you throwing for hours. Say goodbye to heavy hardware store hatchets! Because of the lighter weight and straight handles, you can throw more accurately and focus less on throwing hard.

WALT-AXE

Competition Thrower Axe

The easiest to recommend and best for throwers of beginner to intermediate skill is The World Axe Throwing League Competition Thrower.

The Competition Thrower is built to be sturdy and take a beating while also maintaining a sharp edge to make throwing easy. All WATL Axes are made from forged steel for strength and have a straight 16 inch handle to allow for flexibility and ease of release with various throwing styles.

At just over 2 lbs the Competition Thrower is great for prolonged throwing sessions. You can also find the Competition Thrower in the WATL Starter Kit.
