I love this little thing. It's super handy. It's pretty cool. It's a good conversation piece. I don't know if you can throw it or not. I haven't really tried. It did come pretty sharp. It could still be sharpened more. I do not like the case that they have for it. The sheath. I think they could have designed that a little bit better. I'm going to make myself a leather when I think for it but overall I like it a lot. I think it's badass little axe
