Ox-Head hatchets and axes have been manufactured in Wuppertal, Germany since 1781. The name is synonymous with quality and functional beauty among foresters, carpenters and boatbuilders world-wide. Each axe is expertly and carefully manufactured to the highest standards. Particular attention is paid to careful hardening of the steels, which accounts for the long-lasting sharpness in Ox-Head tools.

Ox-Head is the official supplier of axes for the Stihl Timbersports Series.

Ox-Head's double-bitted competition throwing axe is precision manufactured and balanced for accuracy. Its 3-lb head is triple-pinned to a 23-1/2" American hickory handle. Each axe is individually numbered and includes edge protectors.
