Gil Hibben Pro Throwing Axe

I had my axe almost a year and I haven't seen it break around the thumb or finger grooves yet. I think it is still a great thrower.

I bought two of these throwers and enjoyed them A LOT. they were really well balanced and had a nice thickness and weight to them. It was sad when (like everyone else's) they broke on the finger grips. If these were worth $10-$15 then they would be better but... they were rather disappointing.

Bought 4 and lost 2 to breakage in the first thousand throws. The Internet competition costs half as much and has half the breakage rate. Pity, the handle reminds me of the forward swept handle if the francisca and led to tight hard hitting rotations of the blade. Good ratio of firepower to compactness. Anyway, did I mention that they break a lot? Too much to be worth the money.

Well balanced feels good in your hand. These throw very well however they have one flaw that I have found. I have bought two of these and have had one replaced already. The problem is the nice thumb and finger grip is exactly where all three has snapped, if this problem gets fixed it will be a very nice piece.
