Flying Blade Throwing Knife

Flying Blade Throwing Knife with Skeletonized Handle

Aerodynamics and Balance

With a total length of 26 cm (approx. 10.2 inches), the knife is crafted from a single piece of 420-grade stainless steel. This steel is an excellent choice for throwing knives—it is tough enough to withstand impact while resisting rust. The blade features a classic leaf shape (spearpoint) with a double-edged tip, increasing the chances of sticking the target. An interesting technical feature is the blackened handle with six holes. These holes serve not only as decoration but reduce the weight of the rear section, altering the balance. Weighing 190 g (approx. 6.7 oz), the knife carries enough momentum to stick securely even over longer distances.

How to Throw a Throwing Knife Like a Boss

History and Context

While in the early Middle Ages or the Renaissance throwing knives were often just a last resort in close combat, today it is a popular sporting discipline. The shape of the Flying Blade model references modern sport knives where aerodynamics and ergonomics are prioritized over concealed carry capabilities. It is designed for rotational throwing techniques (spin), whether you grip it by the handle or the blade.

Maintenance and Safety

To ensure the knife brings you joy for years to come, follow these principles:

• Target Selection: Forget live trees or old dry planks. Hard wood and knots destroy the knife and can cause dangerous ricochets. Throw exclusively at soft wood (ideally the end grain of a log) or special foam targets.
• Edge Care: When throwing multiple knives at a single target, they will inevitably hit each other. Regularly file down any burrs that form on the edges to prevent injuring your hand on the next throw.
• Cleaning: Wipe the knife clean of dirt and moisture after training.

The package includes a durable black sheath made of Cordura material, which can be securely attached to your belt.
