I throw knives using the "No-Spin" method. This requires holding the knife by the handle. If you don't know what no-spin throwing is, check it out on YouTube under "No spin knife throwing." These knives are heavy. My regular pro throwing knives weigh aproximately 8 ounces. These weigh just under 1 pound. Therefore when they hit the target correctly, (point first) they will penetrate relatively deeply. Obviously how deeply will depend on how hard the wood is that you are using as a target, your distance from the target, and how hard you are throwing it. The reason I'm mentioning it is because these knives will do more damage to your target much quicker than a lighter knife will do. You need a good target or be willing to replace your target more frequently. I like throwing these knives. They take a little getting used to after using a lighter knife for as long as I have, but I found it quite easy to adjust. I started by throwing from 7 feet away, and over the space of about 15minutes of time, I gradually moved back to my normal 20 foot throwing distance. The blades are very sharp. I'm able to shave off hairs from my arms. I accidently brushed my hand very lightly against the blade when picking it up when I first got it, and it sliced my little finger. It taught me a good lesson which I was glad to learn early on. The blade is tough. Light thin throwing knives can actually bend when you throw them. This blade is 5mm thick and it's not going to bend. One caution I will leave with you. My target is 3 feet by 3 feet. My general instinct is to always aim for the center of the target. The so-called bullseye. After throwing knives and sticking them over 50,000 times I've gotten quite good with my accuracy. With my lighter knives It wasn't unusual for me to hit another stuck knife several times every time time I would go out and practive. This puts small nicks, gouges, and other bruses on each of the knives even though they are made with hardened steel. Imagine what will happen if a 1 pound knife like this one, with a very sharpe blade, hits another one. It will cause some damage. What I do now is to see my target as the surface of a dice. If I have 4 blades to throw I'm now seeing my target as if I'm looking at the number 4 on a dice and I'm throwing each blade at a separate corner of the target. Since doing this I've never again hit another previous thrown blade. Read full review

Good thrower/multipurpose knife decentish steel, decentish ergonomics, great price. Only downer is sheath options the OEM sheaths seem to be a rare commodity. Also has a weird shape kydex hybrid for a homemade sheath would be ideal.

I throw knives in non professional completion. This is a great throwing knife but I found use for it around the camp doing other chores. You can baton this knife when splitting wood. It is sharp and can be easily touched up to restore the edge for cutting. The weight can easily take limbs off trees or brush. I was worried when ordering that it would not be heavy enough but it is just right. I purchased a 2nd.

Well balanced, good point, sticks nicely. If you like a heavier, full length thrower, this is a good one.
