Cold Steel's version of the Axe Gang Hatchet is an authentically formidable weapon, not just a prop for the cameras. For years, Cold Steel has tried to bring to market a devastating Chinese-styled hatchet like those used with such awesome effect in countless Kung Fu movies.
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). Due to its substantial weight and straight handle, it's easy to throw with great accuracy and is sure to explode any target with the most violent effect. In addition to that it has a straight grain American Hickory handle with the Kanji characters that mean "Axe Gang".
