Axe Gang Hatchet

For years, Cold Steel has tried to bring to market one of the devastating Chinese styled hatchets used with such awesome effect in countless Kung Fu movies. The Cold Steel version, the Axe Gang Hatchet, is an authentically formidable weapon, not just a prop for the cameras.

It resembles the axes used by the Axe Gang in the Stephen Chow movie Kung Fu Hustle. It features a drop-forged head, with a differential heat treatment (hard edge-soft body), and a straight, 10 cm cutting edge (with sharp corners). In addition to that it has a straight grain American Hickory handle with the Kanji characters that mean "Axe Gang".

The sharp corners of the edge will easily pierce the thickest skull and the razor sharp edge will shear through flesh and bone like it was white bread. Plus due to its substantial weight and straight handle, it is easy to throw with great accuracy and is sure to explode any target with the most violent effect.
