This pinched tip design is a classic tribute to the legends of ages gone by. The Whale's Tail is not just a gorgeous piece of functional art - it's a serious hunting throwstick designed for straight flights out to at least 76-98 yards / 70-90 meters.

The centered weight distribution allows for this larger stick to be handled with greater ease, making this model great for beginners. Historically this shape was chosen because it enhanced durability, which was important with hardwoods. This is still true in our modern design and so this is our top pick for a longer ranged stick that will be used in environments where it may encounter and strike a lot of trees. See the video review in our reviews section below for more on the durability of the Whale's Tail. If you're in the forest and want something that should do well, this is our top pick.

The S. Queensland, NW NSW style boomerangs are among the most beautiful in history. They were high performing as well and featured numerous incised designs carved on their upper surfaces. They were commonly finished dark with charcoal grease and often featured pinched tips. This one is our own design and features a single ribbon carved in the shape of three whale's tails on the upper surface.

This is a beautiful stick to throw and it looks fantastic on the wall as well. The buffed finish on dark faux hardwood feels and looks like a fine piece of genuine old world craftsmanship, making this perhaps our most beautiful model. Also available in buffed black finish.

Just received the Whale’s Tail kylie today. Absolutely beautiful, a perfect companion piece to the Wedge War Club. I haven’t had a chance to throw it yet, but I think it’s potential as a close quarters weapon is completely undersold. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Bhata Uisce Beatha (Irish Whiskey Stick Dancing), but this throwstick is a natural for that method of fighting. It’s essentially boxing using the the tips of a short stick as the contact point rather than the fist. It’s also eerily similar to FMA stick techniques in further applications. A fascinating and and brutally effective martial art. Seriously, the Whale’s tail gives the Wedge some serious competition for space in my bug out bag. I’m probably going to just include both since they both seem to have so much to offer. And I haven’t even thrown it yet! Anyway, I’m already excited about the “whale’s” potential. Keep the throwsticks coming, trying to decide between them is a fun problem to have. I actually hadn’t thought about Bhata Uisce Beatha in a while, thanks for reminding me. I think I’m going to need a bigger bug out bag. Lest you get the wrong idea, I’m no black belt badass, merely an enthusiastic student. You make top quality stuff, it’s a great value for the price. Thanks, I appreciate your craftsmanship. Expect more orders from me in the future.

I recently purchased every item on the Throwsticks.com product range and couldn't be any happier. Ben and Carol were both a pleasure to deal and made everything very easy for the delivery of my order to Australia. The products themselves are exceptional in quality and craftsmanship and very professionally made. They all perform exactly as they were intended and I have had many enjoyable hours of throwing with many more to come! - Malachi Conway @ RockyInstincts (Queensland, Australia)

Hello Ben,

Got the Whales Tail. Beautiful! It is going to look good hanging on my wall.

I also like the way it hits hard when thrown. I am tempted to highlight the incised

lines with either red or dirty yellow ocher like some aborigines did.

You do good work! Thanks!

Regards,

Marc A. (Louisiana, United States)

We love the Whale's Tail. We have a Throwstick Guild at our Academy. The kids throw every day and utilize the Throwsticks as perfect templates to craft their own replicas from wood.- White Pine Wilderness Academy (Indiana, United States)

I am experimenting with them as you can see from my order(s). This one feels nice in my hand and the furthest I have been able to throw it is about 50 yards but it was windy. So far allot of fun as I practice to improve my technique. Also this will thing never break! - David P. (Virginia, United States)

It's amazing, I have so much fun with it. This is my second, my first one, the wedge war club, I ordered with Etsy and both together is a wonderful combination.

But Benjamin, I will promise you, this will be not the last order

Best wishes

What a wonderful Karli (Whale's Tail). The craftsmanship is awesome and this baby can fly. I have been pleased with every item I have purchased from you.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to talk to you about ordering a few custom

throwing sticks. Hope to get with you soon to select a new Karli. Take care and take care of your family.

Sincerely,

Mike S. (Virginia)

I love this thing, took the dogs & the whale tail stick out throwing this morning. This is my 4th throwing session. It flies so freely, even with very little effort it wants to soar.

Found it likes a good wrist snap and it’s better at flying than I am at throwing it.

My 1st time out my best distance was 68yds and that’s sorta when I quit caring how far it flew. It has great distance in mind every throw but without much effort 50yds is very attainable.

The feel of it is great in the hand, well balanced and feels substantial.

My dog has been retrieving it for me and thinks it’s his now. He’s marked it up but nothing deeper than a surface scratch so far.

For now I’ll plan a really light sanding if anything catches my hand. It’s really fun & it is getting use.

A good throw that climbs away is so satisfying!

Thanks

I have not gotten a chance to use it yet, but it is indeed, a beautiful piece of work. It has inspired me to do some ethnographic reading into this hunting technique. Wade T. (Connecticut)
