  • World Axe Throwing League King of Diamonds! First impressions of this axe along with how I think it throws! We cover specs, website description and real world specs on this throwing axe. I give a few throws and my opinion on how this axe is designed and how well it initially flys! Is this a better throwing axe than the Butcher? Come back for part 2 when I throw this axe and put it through its paces and give you my final opinion!
    Axe throwing! My axe throwing is based on primarly using work axes or axe tools to throw in real world environments. Join me as I embark on this journey to provide my knowledge of axe throwing! Tips, tricks and fundamentals to get you out there throwing with confidence and accuracy!
    I also cover my passion for design work! Anything from complete axe head designs to redesigns that change the weight or the look of the axe head all together but still creating a functional axe! Handle design and finishes, custom builds and tools I use are just a few other things I do on this channel too!
    I test and review axes ranging from high end to common axes you find in your local hardware store! All of my reviews are done with an honest opinion regardless of manufacturer. No BS, no bias opinions here. The real truth on axes and throwing axes!

      Thanks Sean! Yeah someone suggested I look at that axe and when I jumped onto the website it said New highlighted above it. Should be a very interesting thrower!

    My son boughr me a mini bench grinder for my birthday. It makes any axe razor sharp, repairs any chips and can extend the cutting edge too. I'd recommend one to anyone who indulges in axe throwing. Worked for me 😊

    New to the game, first thing I looked at was WATL Axes. Cracking review. Next video 10 rotations yeah? Great videos man! Agree strange with the square look, cleaver like. Weird but interesting.

      So after some more digging because I to was curious. The square handle aids in hand placement and the release for some in competition. It actually makes sense for a single rotation and competition and I can see how some would like it. I had to find out because I hate not knowing haha. 10 rotations! Haha I need some more room but I actually wouldn’t mind going back farther

      @MidgardAxe ahh I'm with you. So it's an additional anchor point for the hand for consistency etc? My friend rescued an old hatchet, square handle, he's restoring it as it was quite rusty and neglected. He's gifted it to myself so I will have a practice and test the theory for myself. I think I'm not competant with half the distance you throw from man, you're an animal! Haha.

    Video suggestion - Let Dave publish the blooper real he has been recording behind your back....

      @MidgardAxe  Pƙed 4 měsĂ­ci

      That is a great idea! If you guys are interested in that I can start throwing those in at the end of the video. I always have a few crazy things that happen in just about every video.

    Have you thrown any of the WATL big axes?

    • @MidgardAxe
      @MidgardAxe  Pƙed 4 měsĂ­ci

      I have not however I have one on my list to get. I just went back and checked and it’s the Colossus. I noticed WATL took advantage of that butcher design in a big axe which is a smart move on their part. I assume they think it’s a great axe too which I agree. I’m sure I’ll get into the other ones at some point too
