A. T S U K A

— The perfect throw begins with the perfect handle.

A. T S U K A is a competition-grade axe handle developed by A. T E N G U in collaboration with Japanese craftsmen.

In axe throwing, three elements are essential:

• Trajectory stability
• Release consistency
• Reduced fatigue during extended use

A. T S U K A is designed to balance these requirements at a high level.

Whether you are holding your first serious handle or competing in tournaments both in Japan and abroad,
A. T S U K A is built to support your throw.

Features

Hand-shaped by Japanese craftsmen

Each handle is finished by hand while carefully checking the wood grain, balance, and grip feel.
The result is a natural, almost adhesive grip sensation that mass-produced handles cannot replicate.

Competition-tested balance design

The handle is engineered to minimize wobble at release and create a stable rotation trajectory.
It supports the development of a highly repeatable throwing form.

Customizable butt-end shape

The handle butt (bottom end) can be selected from multiple shape options.
This allows each thrower to choose a configuration that best matches their hand size, grip style, and release feel.

Versatile base profile

The core shape is designed to be neutral and adaptable.
It works well for a wide range of throwers—from beginners to advanced competitors.

Adjustable length through real throwing

A. T S U K A is provided at a full length of 495 mm.
By throwing and gradually trimming the excess length, you can tune the handle to perfectly match your form, rotation speed, and release timing.

A. T E N G U original finish

A simple and refined appearance.
The handle develops character with use, gradually becoming a unique tool shaped by the thrower.
