The Gladiator Axe delivers a bold, arena‑ready aesthetic in a fully functional throwing hatchet handcrafted for balance, control, and consistent impact. Its head uses 1045 carbon steel with polished and forged variants, pairing dependable edge retention with durable impact performance through repeated sessions. A polished blade provides display‑ready shine, while the forged option leans into rugged texture—both shaped around a profile that rotates smoothly and sticks reliably.
Built by Hacha Manufacturing’s skilled makers, the handle is ashwood and sealed with a protective wood oil varnish that enhances grip while showcasing natural grain. A longer 22‑inch handle supports a steady swing arc and relaxed release timing, with careful head‑to‑handle fitment and finish work for a secure, confidence‑inspiring feel under frequent use. The stainless‑finished blade contrasts cleanly against the wood, emphasizing a purposeful, showpiece look.
Proportions are tuned for presence and predictable rotation. An approximate 6‑inch blade length creates a generous strike area, while an around 800‑gram head weight promotes stable flight without feeling cumbersome. With an approximate total weight near 1100 grams, the axe carries a satisfying, balanced heft that moves smoothly from training lanes to display shelves.
