Scorpion Throwing Knives

Set of Three Blackened Stingers: Scorpion Throwing Knives with Paracord Wrap

Thanks to their special aerodynamic shape, these knives are designed for accurate throwing even over longer distances. The weight of the entire set (approx. 150g / 5.3 oz) allows you to impart sufficient kinetic energy, whether you are training for sport or looking for an effective recreational throwing tool. The package also includes a protective sheath made of highly durable Codura material, allowing for the safe transport of all three knives at once.

How to Throw a Throwing Knife Like a Boss

Technical Specifications and Construction

The knives are constructed as monolithic pieces of steel with a double-edged blade, increasing the chance of a successful stick in the target at various rotations. The use of mild steel (in its stainless variant) ensures the flexibility a throwing knife needs to avoid snapping upon impact.

The Art of the Throw and Historical Context

Knife throwing is a discipline as old as humanity itself, requiring perfect hand-eye coordination. Historically, throwing knives were rarely primary weapons of war; they were more specialized tools for hunting or the element of surprise. In the Middle Ages, throwing weapons were used to distract an opponent or as a last resort, allowing a fighter to wound an unarmored adversary from a distance. Today, this activity is a respected sport that develops patience and discipline. With these Scorpion knives, you can practice both no-spin and rotational throwing techniques. The scorpion motif on the blade refers to the stealth and unexpected speed with which these tools strike their target.

Maintenance Guide and Safety Principles

To ensure your Scorpion knives serve you for years and maintain their appearance, follow these rules:

• Always choose soft materials as your target, such as soft wood boards (pine, spruce) or specialized foam targets.
• After training, clean the knives of dirt and moisture to prevent surface oxidation. Even stainless steel can suffer aesthetic damage if left damp in a sheath for long periods.
• If the cord wrap on the handle becomes loose, you can easily re-tighten it and secure the end by melting it slightly over a flame.
• What to avoid: Never throw at living trees, hard oak knots, brick walls, or wood containing nails. A hard impact can damage the edge or cause the knife to break at a stress point.
• Safety: Ensure that no people or animals are in the target zone. When hitting an unsuitable material, there is a danger of the knife bouncing back toward the thrower. These knives are sharp and can cause serious or fatal injury. Use at your own risk.

For the best training experience, we recommend purchasing a specialized target board, which will extend the life of the blades and reduce the risk of ricochets. A spare length of paracord is also a great addition for personalizing your grips.
