At Dueling Axes, we’ve seen it all. From bullseye pros to first-time throwers, every session is a unique blend of excitement, laughter, and the satisfying thwack of steel meeting wood. But every so often, a question comes along that reminds us that even in the world of axe and knife throwing, there’s always room for a good chuckle.
Recently, during a busy evening, one of our friendly instructors was helping a group get acquainted with the art of knife throwing. As they demonstrated the proper stance and technique, a guest raised their hand with a perfectly innocent, yet wonderfully comical, inquiry:
“Which end do I hold?”
Now, our instructors are known for their patience and expertise. They’ve guided countless individuals through their first throws, always prioritizing safety and fun. But even they couldn’t help but crack a smile at this particular question.
With a twinkle in her eye and a perfectly straight face, our instructor replied, “Well, the part that’s not sharp.”

The entire group erupted in laughter, realizing the sheer absurdity of the question. It was a moment of pure, lighthearted fun, the kind that makes Dueling Axes such a memorable experience.
This incident, while hilarious, also serves as a gentle reminder that everyone starts somewhere. Whether you’re a seasoned thrower or a complete beginner, there’s no such thing as a “stupid” question. Our instructors are here to guide you, ensure your safety, and make sure you have a fantastic time.
So, the next time you’re at Dueling Axes, don’t be afraid to ask any question that comes to mind. And remember, when it comes to throwing knives, always grip the part that’s not sharp.
We’re all about creating a fun, inclusive environment where everyone can unleash their inner Viking (or knife-wielding ninja). Come join us for an evening of laughter, friendly competition, and maybe even a few more hilarious moments!
