Foam Axe Throwing Game

Posted on 07/12/2018 by Craziest Gadgets Jeff

Axe throwing is all the rage these days, everyone’s an angry lumberjack. Now you (and/or your kids) can get in on the action at home with this Warrior’s Mark Axe Throwing Game. It’s all the fun of hurling sharpened objects through the air without the risk of losing a limb or head because the axes are made of foam instead of deadly metal and concussion-causing wooden handles. It’s just like darts but way more badass. The foam axes have an easy-stick strip on the “blade” which lets them stick to the board when you make that perfect throw. See:

Bullseye! You can use the 26″ target either indoors or outdoors. It comes with a suction cup and door hanger to mount it wherever you want. Challenge your friends or just take out some stress in a fun way. Also includes a carry pouch so you can take it with you everywhere and of course 2 foam axes. Become an axepert! And nobody gets hurt.

A Refreshing Re-design of the Trusty Axe

Posted on 09/11/2018 by James Hoare

Toraxe is an axe like no other! Heavily driven by the principle of fluidity of form, the handle carriers a visually striking form that couldn’t be further away from the conventional handle that it replaced; as striking as this is, it also offers safety benefits to the user too. The handguard, that gently merges into the blade- housing, protects the user’s hand whilst simultaneously keeping it in an ergonomic position.

A material change is the only element visually separating the axe’s handle from the blade; the fluid design and bold, sweeping curves are continued onto the blade, visually connecting the two components together and creating a physically interesting product. Toraxe certainly brings a refreshing re-design to the humble axe, and with added functionality and safety intertwined throughout the product, it makes for an appealing alternative!

Take a load off, buddy and just chillax. Maybe have an ice pop shaped like an ax. A “chillax” if you will. It might be an awkward pun of an object but you can eat your frozen treats like the Vikings did with the Chillax Ice Pop Mold. That would be the Minnesota Vikings, of course. Each mold has two plastic handles to make a pair of ice axes.

You could also put some booze in there. Maybe jello? Or not, that might flop over. No matter, these ice axes are not particularly sharp so put away any thoughts about making the perfect melt-away and get-away murder weapon. Besides, the handle gives it away. Stick with ice bullets instead, armchair James Bond. Or just chillax.

Panasonic shows off foldable Windows 8 Ultrabook hybrid, launches October 26 (hands-on)

Posted on 03/10/2012 by Mat Smith

Found along the sidelines of Panasonic's CEATEC booth, the AX series Ultrabook is a foldable hybrid that will be arriving in Japanese stores later this month. Ready to launch with Windows 8 (both standard or Pro) built-in, the Ultrabook houses a 11.6-inch touch display at the ever-popular 1,366 x 768 resolution, although it feels a little on the thick side, and is unmistakably Panasonic in its styling. Connectivity options are legion, with two USB 3.0 ports on the right edge, accompanied by HDMI socket. On the other side, there's an SD card reader, ethernet, power, mic and headphone ports. The hinge seems suitably solid, and while that touchscreen isn't the most attractive we've seen on Windows 8 hardware, the keyboard felt pretty similar to existing business laptops and our fingertips had plenty of space. Otherwise, we were left to play with a Japanese iteration of Windows 8, which seemed nice and responsive in both tablet and notebook setups, although our playtime was limited.

The AX series will launch in Japan on October 26th in three different permutations, starting with an Intel Core i5 processor clocked at 1.7GHz or 1.8GHz, and a Core i7 at 1.9GHz. There's 4GB of memory and a 128GB SDD in all three, while the hybrid bucks the trend by offering a removable battery, with both the faster Core i5 and the Core i7 models coming with an extra cell bundled in. That top-end processor will also arrive with connectable projector for business types. Check out our brief hands-on after the break, or hit the source for the full list of specs.
