In the realm of outdoor tools, the Woox Volante stands as a testament to both craftsmanship and functionality. This axe is meticulously designed for one-handed operation, making it an ideal companion for wood cutting and axe throwing pursuits alike. At its core, the Volante features a tempered carbon steel head (C45/1045) that has been engineered to deliver exceptional durability while maintaining precision in every throw. The blue polished finish not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides added protection against wear and corrosion. Weighing in at 1.7 pounds overall, with a head weight of 1.3 pounds, this tool balances heft with manageability—ideal for those who value accuracy over brute strength. The handle is crafted from American Appalachian hickory, renowned for its resilience and shock-absorbing qualities. Finished with a water-resistant coating, this handle ensures that your grip remains secure even in challenging weather conditions or when faced with damp environments. Measuring 14 inches in length (35 cm), the Volante's compact design allows it to be carried effortlessly into backcountry settings—whether you’re clearing trails or managing riverbank access points. Its blade extends 4 inches (10.6 cm) wide, complemented by a head width of 5-5/16 inches (13.5 cm) and height of 1-1/16 inches (2.7 cm). This thoughtful engineering facilitates both power and finesse during use. Notably adhering to the Competition Requirements set forth by the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF), the Volante is ready for competitive play right out of the box—a mark of quality assurance that serious enthusiasts will appreciate. Each axe possesses unique characteristics due to natural variations in wood grain patterns; therefore, slight discrepancies between images shown and actual product should be anticipated—a hallmark of handcrafted excellence rather than imperfection. For those seeking an all-purpose tool that embodies tradition yet meets modern demands, look no further than the Woox Volante: where heritage meets high performance on any adventure you undertake.
