throwing axe
Tossed blade weapon
A throwing axe is a small, lightweight axe designed to be hurled at a target rather than swung.
The blade is typically single-edged and balanced for rotation in flight.
Throwing axes appear in historical warfare, modern competition, and recreational venues: We went to a bar with throwing axe lanes.
Also called a tomahawk when referencing certain Native American or tactical designs.
