Zombie Dead Double-Bitted Throwing Axe

Zombie Dead Double-Bitted Throwing Axe with Nylon Wrap

Design and Functionality

The axe is made from a single piece of 420 stainless steel. This material is ideal for throwing weapons because it is sufficiently flexible and resists weather conditions excellently. The black surface finish not only gives the axe a tactical look but also increases protection against glare.

• Handle: The metal body is wrapped in the lower section with green nylon cord. This wrapping ensures a more comfortable grip, dampens impact shock to the palm, and in an emergency, the cord can be unwound and used for other purposes (tying gear, building a shelter).
• Double Edge: The symmetrical shape of the head ensures great balance for rotation during a throw. No matter how the axe spins, you have a double chance of it sticking into the target.
• Weight Reduction: The cutouts in the axe blade are not just a design element. They serve to lighten the head and shift the centre of gravity, improving aerodynamics.

Historical and Cultural Context

Double-bitted axes, historically known as labrys, were symbols of power in antiquity and were used in rituals and combat. In modern times, this shape has returned to fashion thanks to the "zombie" genre, which popularizes improvised and multi-functional weapons. This axe is a modern interpretation of an ancient concept, adapted for the needs of today's hobby throwers and curiosity collectors.

Usage Instructions and Maintenance

To ensure the axe serves you for a long time and harms no one, please follow these rules:

• Suitable Target: Throw only at soft wood (spruce, pine, poplar) or special foam targets. Throwing at hard wood, living trees, or walls can cause the blade to bend or the axe to rebound dangerously.
• Safety: Ensure a clear space before throwing (minimum 2-metre radius around you and sufficient distance to the target). Never throw if anyone is in the throwing lane or near the target. We recommend wearing leather gloves.
• Maintenance: Clean and dry the axe after use. Even stainless steel can develop surface rust under the wrapping if moisture gets trapped, so ensure the nylon stays dry.
