Although, we never received it.....the item was backordered and we ended up having to cancel the order. Thank you. **Q: Does the axe come with a sheath?** A: No. **Q: how wide is the blade?** A: Its 10 inches long and 3 inches wide. Its a great axe! **Q: Is this pretty balanced? Will it throw well overhand?** A: I don't think it would make a good throwing axe. The overall length of the axe is 33-34 inches. The head is about 4lbs, so it is not balanced per say; I use mine for chopping, which it does very well. For chopping it is well balanced. I personally would not use it for a throwing axe, but I am not saying it can't be used that way. I have never tried to throw mine. Maybe you are better skilled, but it does swing well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was pretty happy with the quality of the steel *by T***R on 28 November 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfectly fine axe *by D***N on 28 August 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality! *by J***Y on 28 April 2015* ## Frequently Bought Together - Council Tool Drake Off Road Tools 3.5 Lbs.
