is this throwable? like a real tomahawk

No, it's mainly for decoration. You might be able to get it sharpened and make sure every screw is tight, and then it should be okay to throw. I'm not an expert but I do have my fair share of tomahawks.

Yes, I have tried throwing it at my brother and it went into his shoulder through his Russell sweater. He is okay though, he wanted me to do it.

No.I bought this for my son and he has thrown it at an oak tree practicing for 2 months now with no problems.Great product.

It is not fully functional, because it is a replica. A real tomahawk is not crafted with stainless steel construction, plus the ergonomics and counter balance do not make it a functioning throwing tool. If you would like a fully functional throwing tomahawk, you can get them at Cabela's for sure

It's a pretty heavy duty knife! By that I mean it's durable enough to throw, but it's heavier then a typical throwing knife. If there's a will, there's a way so I would say yes to your question.

Sorry, I haven't attempted throwing mine yet but as far as balance, the head is heavy and not weight to the handle.

This is a tactical weapon. Anyone who knows anything about a tactical approach would advise against throwing your weapon. If you miss, your target now has access to your hardware. I am sure if you wanted to throw it, it will fly. But I have not thrown mine.

No, the handle is too long and the head is too light. It's a great hawk, best of the genre for the money, but it won't throw well. SOG makes one that is much easier to throw, made for that in fact and it is made of one piece of steel so it will stand up to the type of use it gets when someone is learning.

Very doubtful. This is a full contact training implement, and would be most likely considered in the same category as a Bokken, or even baseball bat.

Actually shortening the handle would probably be a good idea, mine came fairly long and would throw better if it was shortened, not to mention be more manageable with shorter length. And using a different wood shouldn't cause a problem either; with heavy use you'll eventually have to get a new handle anyways and its a 'primitive' tool/weapon, so whatever you do it'll likely work out.

Yes. This tomahawk comes with a button locking sheath. The stitching is relatively solid. Although the Axe comes wicked sharp so it breaks down the sheath eventually.

Understanding that you will probably go through many tomahawks over the course of throwing them as a hobby, you could do worse than this one. I think it would hold up to quite a few throws, even the damage I did to mine wouldn't stop it from being a good beat around thrower. It will stick on either the blade or spike side (which is good for your self-esteem). The handle is a little long for throwing (in my opinion). I'm not sure which product on Amazon I would recommend to learn. Any of them that are heavy enough, will be just fine.

We just used for throwing at targets. It broke very easily after being thrown into a tree or plywood

I have not thrown it. But it has been dropped on hardwood , cement, bricks. Has not broke yet. My doberman (110 lbs) plays with it all the time.

If thrown just right, you can get a straight path toss. It takes some practice though.

Not really. It is designed to sit on the ground. Legs have sharp points to hold it firmly in the ground. Actuation is by stepping on the pedal. It is an exceptional thrower. Mine has tossed a lot of birds. You can throw for yourself.

This isn't a throwing hawk. True throwing hawks will have free floating heads so the impact isn't transmitted directly to the handle, which is wood. That's not to say the wood handles won't need replacing from time time but they are cheap and easy to replace. Tactical hawks are meant to stay in the hand.
