The Axe Gang Hatchet features a drop-forged head, with a differential heat treatment (hard edge-soft body), and a straight, four inch cutting edge (with sharp corners). In addition to that it has a straight grain American Hickory handle with the Kanji characters that mean "Axe Gang". Due to its substantial weight and straight handle, it's easy to throw with great accuracy.
