Professional 2-Piece Throwing Knife Set
Imagine a tool that blends the predatory elegance of the deep sea with the precision of modern engineering. This 2-piece throwing knife set, inspired by the aerodynamic silhouette of the Garfish, is designed for those who take the art of throwing seriously. Crafted from a single piece of 440 stainless steel (0.16" / 4mm thick), these knives offer exceptional durability and impact resistance. The black non-reflective finish provides a sleek, tactical look while preventing unwanted glare.

The Dark Garfish Duo: Professional 2-Piece Throwing Knife Set
Targeted at intermediate and advanced throwers, these knives feature a slim profile and a specific center of gravity. The handle is skeletonized with five holes to enhance aerodynamics and allow for custom paracord wrapping if you choose to use them as backup utility blades. The hefty 4mm thickness ensures these blades won't bend, even when subjected to the rigors of heavy practice sessions against wooden targets.

A Brief History of the Throwing Blade
The art of throwing weapons has been a part of martial history for millennia. While medieval Europeans favored throwing axes (like the Francisca) or spears, the specialized throwing knife saw its peak in Asian traditions, most notably the Japanese Shurikenjutsu. Modern throwing knives like the Garfish combine Western metallurgical strength with Eastern geometric balance. The finger ring at the base of the handle is a nod to tactical "karambit-style" ergonomics, allowing for a secure grip and quick deployment.
Maintenance and Care
Even though 440 steel is corrosion-resistant, you should clean your knives after every session to remove moisture and wood sap. Periodically wipe the blades with a cloth dampened with light machine oil (such as Ballistol) to maintain the black finish. If "Robin Hooding" occurs (one knife striking another) and creates a burr on the edge, gently smooth it out with a fine file or sandpaper to prevent cuts to your hands during release.
Safety Warning
These knives feature extremely sharp points and are intended solely for throwing at soft wooden targets (end-grain wood is best). Never throw at hard surfaces like rock, concrete, or metal plates, as the knife may bounce back toward you or shatter. These are not toys and are not intended for combat. Always ensure your throwing lane is clear of people and pets before you begin your practice.
To complete your kit, we recommend adding a professional sharpening stone and a softwood target block for the ultimate throwing experience.
