Prandi German Style Hatchet Review by Axebassador Casandra Stankewitz
German Style Hatchet by Prandi
SPECS:
14” long Hickory Handle
4” Carbon Steel axe head
600G (1.3lb) head weight
4” Carbon Steel axe head
600G (1.3lb) head weight
Initial Thoughts:
After throwing house axes for a while, I had decided to buy
my own. The German Prandi is one of the first axes I researched, and
ultimately, has become my go to axe! The unique design of the axe head, the
curvature in the handle, and the overall appearance is what solidified my
choice. The Satin Steel head and the light hickory handle work beautifully
together to make this a champion thrower.
Throwing:
Throwing this axe is like throwing a knife at butter. The
curve being lower on the handle makes it easier for me to place my hands in
just the right spot for each throw. After throwing heavier axes for a while, it
took me a few throws with this axe to gauge my distance the right way, but
within no time I was throwing dead center. I was able to throw both with two
hands and then one hand easily without having to switch up my distance or how
hard I was throwing.
Final Thoughts:
This axe has it all. It’s gorgeous looking, very sharp, and
will withstand the test of time. This axe is lightweight and so easy to throw.
I recommend it to all new(er) throwers or anyone who needs a lighter axe.
