Tatanka Axe Racing Training Axe 800mm - 2.4kg

The Tatanka Double Bit Throwing Axe 650mm - 1.2kg is a professionally crafted double bit axe designed for throwing, bushcraft and general outdoor use. For keen gardeners, woodland users, tree surgeons, landscapers and outdoor professionals, it offers the dependable handling and authentic feel that make demanding tasks easier to manage. With a forged C45 carbon steel head and a durable 650mm hickory handle, this axe combines strength, balance and control in a way that experienced users will appreciate straight away.

For home gardeners tackling rougher ground, clearing cut material or carrying out occasional heavy-duty jobs, this axe provides a reassuringly solid tool that feels capable and controlled in use. Bushcraft enthusiasts will value the traditional forging, comfortable hickory handle and the predictable handling that supports confident outdoor work. Forestry users, tree surgeons and commercial ground care professionals will also appreciate the robust construction and purposeful weight distribution when working in challenging environments where reliability matters.

The head is hand forged from C45 carbon steel, the European equivalent of AISI 1045 medium carbon steel, giving an excellent balance of toughness and edge retention. Each head is heat treated, oil quenched and tempered along the cutting edges to improve resistance under repeated use. That makes it a strong choice for users who want dependable performance from a tool built with experience-led craftsmanship rather than lightweight compromise.

The 650mm hickory handle adds natural shock absorption, a secure grip and excellent control. Hickory is widely respected for outdoor tools because it offers strength without feeling harsh in the hand, helping reduce fatigue during repeated handling. For gardeners, landscapers and forestry professionals, that means a more comfortable and confident working experience, particularly when using the axe for controlled outdoor tasks.

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 leverage and predictable handling, which is especially useful for users preparing wood, clearing material or managing rough outdoor spaces. It is a reliable option for anyone who wants a traditional axe that feels well made, responsive and ready for real work.

This model is especially well suited to people who prefer equipment that reflects genuine outdoor experience. From keen gardeners looking for a tougher tool for heavier jobs, to professionals working in forestry, landscaping and ground care, it offers a convincing mix of durability, control and classic style. If you value tools that are built to inspire confidence and perform consistently, this Tatanka axe is an excellent choice.

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.
