Ace In The Hole Throwing Axe and Sheath

Mine arrived with two shallow curved "cracks?" on either side of the spike. I first thought they might be paint lines, but since they're in exactly the same place on both sides, so I don't think so. I have a feeling if I use the spike, it will break off. Since I'm otherwise happy with the design and price, I'm ordering another one just to see if this is a manufacturing defect. Just beware.

I have purchase many of these for resale. I have had 5 returned broken after only a couple throws. The handle's have snapped in half. The tip was broken on others. The metal is not suited for a throwing axe and is brittle. This would be an ok axe for light duty tinder cutting or as a costume or display axe. I do not recommend it for a throwing axe.
