BladesUSA Perfect Point Throwing Knives Set of 3 Satin Finish Stainless Steel Blades and Handles w Spider Design

The media could not be loaded. When I first started throwing these knives they felt too light and they wouldn't always stick. After a few throws and tweeting my technique, I was sticking almost all of them. Great affordable knives. Read more

These were my first set of throwing knives, ever. I got 3 black, 3 bare metal, shipped quick. Made a cardboard target to start. Threw my first 3 knives. 2 of them stuck. Cool. Must have been the hours of videos I watched and practicing my form before I even got the knives. Threw about 50 more and then my cardboard target (about 6 layers of cardboard taped together with a circle marked with sharpie for the center/only target). So, I have pieces of wood laying around, so I use a hard outdoor pressure treated wood slab, about 5 feet long (height for my target) and 2 feet wide (enough side to side length so that I don't miss and hit a cat or something). Over the next 3 days, I had thrown those knives a good 1,000+ times. Then I let my friends try. Even with way more misses and "tings" and "tangs" of the metal hitting wood and echoing across my street, the knives still held up. Now we're at a few weeks later, I probably practice throwing about an hour or so a day give or take, have learned the no-spin throw from many distances, and the half-spin (holding blade side) throw from my comfortable distance. Learned 2 underhand throws, all with these knives. I've now started throwing larger 12"+ knives, and getting the feel of throwing a smaller knife like this gave me a lot more confidence with throwing larger knives, machetes, swords. Yes, if you miss a lot, or don't have a soft surface for your knives to fall on (for me, dirt or grass), you will start to notice chips in the blade. However, this doesn't take away from the throwing ability. Those who say they can't get these to stick are most likely just not doing it correctly (form, speed, distance, how it slides off your finger(s), height of the target, type of target, etc.). Whenever I miss a few throws in a row or they don't stick, I either move closer to the target, have a more fluid motion and almost slow it up a little to figure out what's going on with my throw, OR I'll toss some throws straight down into a piece of wood on the floor or even straight into dirt. It helps show me if my knife is over-rotating, under-rotating, going sideways, wobbling out of my hand instead of sliding out smooth, etc. It's definitely a fun hobby. I've made a few targets now and for me it's just a dart game with a new kind of throwing tool. I've seen people throw pocket knives, hunting knives, machetes, swords, nails, screwdrivers, scissors, and get them all to stick. I'm not at that level yet, but these blades gave me a good starting point to work on the basics of knife throwing. So yes, I give it 5 stars. Best first (and second) set of blades I bought. Thanks. (I posted this same review on the black ones - since they are essentially the same product and this review is for both the bare metal and black, there's no difference besides color - If that isn't okay you may delete this review and leave the other. Great blades, thanks again.) Read more

I bought these the other day and they came today. They look nice, but feel a little light compared to a Ruko End of Days that I got (which I had allready ground down after the tip bent and broke a week earlier). Went out and threw them for about an hour and a half to two hours. Came inside and the sharp edge of one of the knives was pretty notched (this is to be expected though because I hit it against the other knives a few times and it was nothing that a few minutes with a lower grit stone couldn't fix). The silver color makes them pretty easy to find. The sheath is okay. The material is sort of lightweight and a little inadequate, but otherwise, the sheath is nice. The closure is a velco type. The length of the knife is good. It fits quite well in my hands. The small depression on top of the blade right after the handle is a little hard to get used to, but was only weird for a few throws. Overall, the knives are very good and I would definately reccomend them. Pros---- -Coloring makes them easy to find -Good shape/fits into hand well -Acceptable sheath -The steel is good quality for a throwing knife, soft enough that it isn't too brittle, but strong enough that it dosn't bend easily -Kinfes came pretty sharp (not extreamly sharp, but pretty sharp) -well pointed tip (sharp, but sturdy) -sticks in well Cons---- -The knife is a lighter -The sheath material is a bit cheap -the knife could be a little bit thicker -the blades notched quickly (only because they hit each other on occasion) but nothing that a whetstone can't easily fix -if they don't stick in, they can usually bounce back anywhere from five to ten feet The only reason these lost a star is because they were a little too light for me. I prefer a slightly heavier knife. Read more

I've been interested in trying to get into knife throwing just as another fun trick / skill to entertain me and prove control over different instruments ; I prefer using a no spin technique because a spin technique requires thinking about the rotations the blade will make before impacting with your target (wood with cardboard taped in front of it in my case). Looks pretty good though the sheath is a bit dodgy and I cannot say how long it will hold up. Read more

Nice quality Read more

not the best not the worst they throw well but require significant maintenance due to being soft Read more

I own a few sets of name brand throwing knives around the $20 and $50 range and just wanted to know if it was possible to find anything usable at sub-$10 range so gave these a try. Why not? Well, although they meet the minimum length to be effective, they're too light. They still make for good kitchen knives though so there's that. Edit: Added another star because although these knives are ultra light, they're nicely sharp and can be used in the kitchen. In fact, you might be able to wrap some nylon on the handle to make them slightly heavier, but my skill level isn't there so I'm just speculating. Edit: Had to come back to give these things a 5th star. At first, I was skeptical because of their weight, however, their sharpness makes up for it. Throwing them with minimal effort would bury them at least an inch into the target - about 3X deeper than my 8" Smith and Wessons. Read more

The Best price Awesome set. I definitely will be buying more Read more
