KA-BAR Throwing Knife Set with Sheath 3 Pcs , Black

these are relatively cheap knives, but I was really surprised by the balance and durability. Got a few nicks after some missed throws but was able to smooth them out easily with a wet stone. Great for practice.

I run a youth group that does a lot of frontier/pioneer-type activities which include knife and tomahawk throwing. I bought a set of these knives to use for teaching the kids. They've proved to be perfect for our group. The knives have a good weight and stand up to hard usage. Although we've only had these knives less than 10 days, they've each been thrown hundreds of times without any damage, bending, or problems. As a low-cost entry-level throwing knife, I highly recommend them.

*Update* - 11/27/2022 - I've move these from a 2-star to a 4-star. The reason is because after filing and sharpening the top inch, these have become my go-to throwers. I like the weight, the feel, and overall design of these throwing knives. After sharpening, these became excellent no-spin throwing knives. I've had great success with overhand and side-arm techniques and burying this blade deeply into the pine. Sadly, this will never be a 5-Star product due to the poor quality control as seen in the different thickness in blade points. Also, the description should clearly indicate that these are non-bladed and will need to be sharpened manually. The S&W non-bladed throwing knives at least have a fine point. ‐------------------------ I wanted to like these, but I just don't. As others mentioned, the points are not uniform and not fine enough. These are not sharpened blades. However, they don't need to be bladed as long as the point is done correctly. You may have heard the phrase "There's nothing more danger than a dull knife". Well for knife throwing, that applies to the tip/point as well. These knives can be dangerous to the thrower. I've had quite a few hit some soft pine 2x10s, point first, and come flying back at me. NOT COOL I've included a picture of the S&W 8" throwing knives as a comparison to show what a non bladed throwing knife point should look like. These knives seem to have a higher price point for brand name only. The overall look and feel of the knives were great and they throw quite well for no-flip throwing, but if they don't stick into the target, then they are worthless. Perhaps Ka-Bar should reconsider this product as well as the decision to outsource production overseas. Fail.

My main throwing knives. Love the thud of them hitting the 2x4's i use. Durable only a few Knicks from them hitting each other. Would be great if they offered different colors. Main reason is I carry a machete and 2 of these knives and the condor. I carry them when I walk my dog. I may live in the city but while walking my dog we saw 2 coyotes jogging. 2 other experiences where we were attacked. Good thing the coyote was in the fenced area of the pnm and jumped into the fence. The other time they came running up at us. I used it to scare them off by throwing one which ricochet into the pnm yard. I explained my situation to a few officers and explained why came to carrying them. They did agree that is smart.

I liked everything except one side of knife should be sharp (throwing knives aren't sharp) if you throw unsharpen throwing knives you get complacent careless. If you ever have to throw for selfdefense(yea i know not suppose to throw away your knife! Tell that to the Russian Special Forces.) or what ever reason you would throw it, you could possibly severly cut your fingers etc. Great for Fedin technique or any technique requiring medium weight knives. The weight is important because it probably close to the weight of your EDC enough said.

Big, heavy and durable. Takes a little while to get used to, but they are serious. Great value

Alright

Great knives, I bought a second set. They’re solid, balanced, have a good thick spine, and have a better weight than most throwing knives you’ll find on Amazon. They’re purpose built throwing knives meaning that the edge is intentionally dull so you can do more types of throws from the blade without cutting your hand while still having a sharp point the can easily stick in the target. These are NOT camping knives; look somewhere else if you want something that cuts.

These are intended for no-spin knife throwing. As I am a beginner, after much frustration trying to learn spin throwing, I was surprised that I was sticking these knives immediately at any distance I throw at. (I still need practice for accuracy). The blades are NOT sharp, nor do they need to be for practice throwing, as it reduces the risk of injury to self or others. I did break the tip of one knife, but that was due to a very bad throw (Hey! I am a beginner!) and I can easily grind this out. Happy with my purchase.

Sturdy, good to have fun with camping.

They are lots of fun
