Anyone know of any good throwing knives out there?

Welcome to Bladeforums! I'll move this thread to the knife throwing forum for you.

Check here . Their throwing knives are pretty good - check under "special items".

I forget whether "registered users" can use the Search function, but this question has naturally been asked before. One way that you can get a better picture of previous discussions on the Knife Throwing Forums is by adusting the Display options for the forum. Select the Knife Throwing Forum (under General Knife Discussions). At the bottom of the page you will see "Display Options" in a yellow band at the left side of the page. Below that you will see some drop down menus. The one on the lower-left is labeled "From the:" Use the downward-pointing triangle to select "Beginning" and then click the "Show Threads" button. This will let you look at every thread ever posted to this forum. This will include many recommendations for throwing knives.

PS. Many old-timers really push for heavy throwing knives. I think that some of this is because they are larger and slower than some others. If you are lightly built you may find a somewhat lighter throwing knife fits you well. I recently got the Cold Steel True Flight throwing knife (not the Torpedo) and think it is a reasonable size. When I was young and lighter I favored even lighter knives.

PS. Look for something that is nonstainless for best durability. Use a soft back stop and loosely hanging cardboard targets to avoid dangerous bounceback. I like to collapse about 3 cardboard boxes and lash them together with electrical wire. Have a soft surface under and around your target to protect your knife from excess damage.

Gill Hbben makes good production knives. I've got three. Got em from knivesrus.com for about 30 bucks and very happy with them. Nice trough ergonomic blades - about 8 inches long overall. I've used trees and wooden boards for targets, missed quite a bit, but the knives are in great shape still - after 7-10 months of abuse. I'd get me another set of the same knives if I had $$$$... Hope it helps.
