I found that the product chipped and broke in multiple places after a week of use.
I experienced that the knives broke after 30 minutes of use and only withstood 50 throws before all 3 broke. I wasn't trying to power throw them, but they are of poor quality. Based on my experience, I suggest not buying them.

82% liked the comfortable and balanced handle, but 18% found it slippery
The handle design of the hatchets makes it difficult for me to throw.
The handle edges of the axes are very sharp and tend to leave paper-like cuts on my hands and fingers.
I find the hard edges on the handles of the knives uncomfortable to grip and they can cause burs and slivers to pop up when they clang together. I suggest filing down the handles to make them more rounded and comfortable to grip.

77% appreciated the lightweight and compact design, although 23% found it too heavy
I suggest using orange Gorilla tape around the handle edges of the knives to make them more portable while camping. This reduces the burs/slivers from happening and helps to locate the knives if they get lost in the grass or bushes.
The knives have a tuning fork design, which makes them sound like a crash of thunder and lightning when they miss.
71% appreciated the built-in safety features, although 29% found them insufficient
I emphasized the importance of safety when using the axes and knives. It is essential to exercise proper caution and follow safety guidelines.
I advise using proper caution and following safety guidelines when using axes and knives to ensure safety.
I advise wearing protection and warning others around when using these throwers as they can be very dangerous when they ricochet.
I have noticed that the knives have hard edges on their handles which can cause burs and slivers. This can be dangerous if they go into my hands/fingers or cut me up when I throw. I suggest filing down the handles to make them a bit rounded off to avoid this problem.
