Awesome manufacturing. Solid and very durable. Order these kids! They rock! Thank you 😎

Got these for a gift. They were appreciated (I think)

Can't really comment accurately on durability, as I've not used them long enough. So far they seem kinda durable, I'll update this review when I find out. Based off of 1st impressions, the Hitdudu seem the most durable, SOGS at 2nd, and Smith and Wesson (S&Ws) at 3rd though..Sharpness:These are the least sharp out of the 3 brands. As far as sticking to wood, it's surprisingly good. They were way easier to land than the Hitdudu, which are sharper and heavier. The S&Ws are the sharpest by far, from front, top, to back. the Hitdudus are at 2nd place, with only the front being sharp. And these SOGs are only sharp at the front aswell, but not as sharp as the other 2.. atleast the ones i recieved..Accuracy:These were surprisingly very easy to land. I dont know if its the design, but it seems to always land on the front of the blade for me. These are tied with the S&Ws when it comes to accuracy IMO. The S&Ws land easy because they are very sharp on all sides, so anywhere, other than the handle will stick. These seem to be possibly designed in a way that it will land on the sharpest part. The Hitdudu are the hardest to land accurately atleast to me. That might be a pro or a con to certain people. I like the SOG and S&Ws more though.Weight:The SOGs are the lightest of the 3 brands. For many that's a pro, because they are easier to throw. So if you like light axes, these are the lightest ones I've tried. I prefer the heavier ones though. The S&Ws are the 2nd lightest, and the Hitdudus are the "heaviest", although they're all pretty light to me. The SOG is significantly lighter than the rest though.Price:I bought the SOGs at 51.05The S&Ws at 45.63And the Hitdudu at 42.99Overall:I loved the S&Ws the most, even though they seem to be less durable than the other 2 so far. The S&W got niks on the blade pretty quick.. I'd use the SOGs as 2nd choice. The Hitdudu are harder to land, but I like the challenge for practicing, so the Hitdudu are my go to practice axes now. If they came out with a sharper version of the Hitdudu all around, and stayed the same everywhere else, I think they would be my favorite. I like when things come sharp because i don't trust myself to not brake them, especially when they're light and thin. If the SOGs end up outlasting the other 2 in durability, I might prefer them over the Smith and wessons. But I don't see something so light and thin outlasting them by anything significant. They're all good choices. I'd say the most worth it was my S&Ws with the slightly cheaper price.

Having read other reviews mentioning paracord unraveling, and worrying about losing the black hawks on missed throws, the first thing I did with mine is to put red heatshrink tubing over the paracord handles. The blades are very sharp and the heatshrink and paracord underneath will still slice instantly if you hit the handle of another hawk, but at least the rest of the heatshrink prevents the paracord from further unraveling.These hawks are very light and small, and they rotate a lot as a result and you also will have to throw them with a bit more force. Still, once you get the right distance and release, they are very easy to stick consistently. At a distance of about 15 feet, I get two full rotations to stick the blade. Compared to the heavier and longer Fasthawk for which I get one rotation at roughly the same distance.During the first session, I had many missed throws with impacts to various parts of the hawks. The hawks are holding up very well.3 stars for light weight - would like them to be a bit heavier, but they are fun for what they are.4/5 stars for durability/sturdiness - paracord gets damaged easily, the steel is holding up great.5 stars overall. Just adapt your technique to the light weight and take some measures to protect the paracord, and you'll have no other complaints about this set of hawks. Tons of fun!

So I bought this set and the Smith and Wesson set and thats kinda where I will base my comparison. This sog set is nice. I have yet to run into the issue many complain about as far as hitting the paracord with another axe and cutting it. I could definitely see how that happens. We are playing off a target and only throw one axe at a time normally and that isn't an issue in that case. I like the paracord and the way it enhances the grip. I have slightly bent the blade in the top corner of one of the axes already which is something the Smith and Wesson have not done. Its an easy enough fix next time I sharpen them. Ive been using a hockey puck sharpener and it does a great job. I think bottom line I prefer the feel and design of the sog better than the S&W but at this point the Smith and Wesson have had a much smaller learning curve and have stuck better. I think with practice I will be just as good with the SOG blades and I like the grip better than the bare metal Smith and Wesson.

Hi, I bought 3 of these and when the first one broke, SOG was great and sent me 3 new ones (even though only one broke). But I throw these almost every day around 10-15 times a day for fun. After 2 months of use, 3 of 6 broke in half. All broke mid-way down the handle. Only 1 break was from hitting another axe in a stump, the other two breaks were from the axe hitting a clean flat stump, it just cracked in half. Not really sure why.I also wrapped the cords in electrical tape to prevent them from unraveling and hoped that would provide some extra shock absorption to prevent cracks, but that didn't work on the one I broke today. So they are SUPER fun to throw, but they just aren't that durable.

Item is what I wanted and arrived as stated. It was obviously opened and or returned by the condition of the packaging. Items appear under used it just would have been nice to know I was receiving a used item with no discount.

My boys have had hours of entertainment throwing these in our backyard. Good quality. Happy with purchase
