SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Southern Grind Wasp Throwing Axe 4 Pc. Set with Black Kydex Sheath is a precision-crafted collection designed for enthusiasts and competitive throwers who demand balance, durability, and performance. Created by Zac Brown, founder of Southern Grind, the Wasp series reflects his vision of blending rugged functionality with striking design. Zac Brown, a master craftsman and innovator in tactical and outdoor tools, ensures that every piece combines professional-grade performance with aesthetic appeal, making this set a standout for collectors and active throwers alike.
Each axe is constructed from 8670M high-carbon saw blade steel, a material naturally strengthened through years of industrial heat cycles, which enhances toughness and gives each blade a unique, rugged appearance. The tumbled satin finish not only adds visual appeal but also provides corrosion resistance, keeping the axes in top condition even after repeated use. Finely sharpened edges on both the head and spike ensure that every throw sticks cleanly to the target, regardless of your throwing style.
Each axe in the set measures 11.5 inches overall with a 6.63-inch head and weighs approximately 10 ounces, delivering a lightweight yet solid feel for precise, controlled throws. The cutting edge measures 5.125 inches, with a blade thickness ranging from 0.10 to 0.11 inches, honed to 59-63 HRC for maximum edge retention. The body of the axe is tempered to 44-48 HRC, providing durability and resistance to chipping or deformation during repeated impacts. A conventional flat grind allows for smooth penetration into targets while maintaining overall strength.
The skeletonized handle design reduces weight without compromising the axe’s structural integrity, giving each piece excellent balance and maneuverability. Decorative cutouts and the iconic Wasp logo on the handle add a distinctive touch that reflects Zac Brown’s commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The set also features a 3.25-inch pick blade edge, providing versatility for varied throwing techniques and adding an extra tactical element to your throws.
Included with the set is a custom black Kydex sheath, capable of holding all four axes securely. The sheath is designed for safe and convenient transport, whether you’re heading to a competitive event, practicing in your backyard, or taking them along on a rugged outdoor adventure. Each axe is proudly made in the USA, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship Southern Grind is known for.
Whether used for sport, training, or display, the Wasp Throwing Axe Set offers a perfect blend of performance, style, and rugged construction, shaped by Zac Brown’s expert design philosophy.
