Cold Steel 12 Inch Long Black Carbon Steel Professional Throwing Knives (3 Pack)

Perfect, as described

One of my favorite large throwers for rotational and no spin throwing. I wrapped mine in paracord for better grip and noise reduction when throwing. Durable, hefty, and well balanced. Check out my YouTube channel for more demos.

The knives are well balanced and easy to throw. Their shape makes it easy to learn no spin throwing. I'm throwing the knives into a large thick plank of soft pine. On the tenth throw, as I was wiggling the knife in the wood to remove it, a tip broke. I was shocked because the wood I'm using is about as tough as a block of cheese. The knife that lost the tip still sinks into the wood easily, so I can still train. When you pull the knives out of the wood, try to pull them straight out.

Ok so if you’re saying how easy the tips break. Shut up, yea they do think about what you’re doing with em and you don’t want em razor sharp anyways.you want just a point, doesn’t need to be like a razor you’re throwing knives not filleting a fish or whatever. You’re taking knives and throwing them into wood. These are good knives for that. To strengthen them so they don’t break in half I like to take like lacrosse tape or athletic tape and wrap em pretty far up. This will help especially when you’re learning and don’t hit every time. Ok so let’s sun this up everyone, tips will break. Any knife you use it will probably happen. Metal will break when you miss a lot or even sometimes when you hit. You’re throwing them probably as hard as you can to feel super cool for some reason into wood. Things wear down and sometimes could even happen first try. It’s not rocket surgery to think about this stuff. So don’t buy em if you think they are gonna stay razor sharp forever or if you think they won’t break throwing them. You’re delusional if you think throwing things at stuff won’t break. Buy these if you want a good knife and you’re a decent thrower. I love em and I throw a lot everyday all day and guess what mine have not broke. Gotta practice some and make em stick and they’ll last so just get better

well balanced, would be good to learn with

They look awesome and seem to be balanced; however, they don't stick even in fine.You have to throw them very hard to get them to stick. I might try sharpening him up quite a bit but they're supposed to come pre-sharpened and ready to go. It stinks to hit the bull's-eye again and again and again only to watch the knife all of the wood

I was looking for something heavy (~8 oz.) that would be more conducive to no spin throwing without shelling out hundreds of dollars for Acejets. The Coldsteel 12 inch throwing knives are perfect. I get much better range and penetration than I did with smaller more conventional throwing knives. They are tough and only sharpened where it matters and the edge bevel is extreme so the edges don't chip like they do on other knives. I would definitely buy these again!

The tips are very thin. After less than 10 throws they all broke. I throw some other knives at the same pine butts and never have broken a tip. As far as the rest of the build if the knife it was good. Sturdy and balanced. I suppose if you wanted to grind them down, back to where the steel is a little thicker they'd be great. You can even see where the steel is crafted to a better spot where the point should be. I don't know why they extended it out with this thin little bit of metal. Either that if you're throwing at hay bales then they'd probably be great as well.
