Is it a good for throwing, like knife throwing?

If you're interested in target throwing, this is not the correct purchase for you. There are much lighter, better balanced and cheaper 'hawks for that. Actually, they make double headed throwing axes that are a blast to chuck at tree stumps often coming in three-packs. Really, this is a tool more than a weapon. It's made for clearing brush, "unlocking" doors and substituting for the jaws of life in car wrecks.

It is heavy steel so I would suggest buying one with a fiberglass or wooden handle I did not throw it it is for breaking into things or chopping things

It's a very stout and sturdy tool, and because of it's heft and weight, I think throwing it would be difficult unless you have very good upper body strength. Check out the tool's specs- it's really meant as a tool of destruction more than practicing a craft.

This is a tactical weapon. Anyone who knows anything about a tactical approach would advise against throwing your weapon. If you miss, your target now has access to your hardware. I am sure if you wanted to throw it, it will fly. But I have not thrown mine.

Yes it is, I've never thrown knives before, and after a few tries with this I started to get the point in 2/3 times

It's made well and it's got a bit of weight to it. So, yes, I think it's a good throwing weapon and that it'll hold up well.

I havent tried throwing it, but my neighboor I showed it to who throws hawks said it would work well being thrown. Ive thrown too and think it would work well myself because its got some pretty good weight to it on the business end. But what I really like for throwing is the Cold Steel Norse hawk tomahawk.

Storm,These throwing knifes are some of the best pieces of equipment I ever invested in. To answer your question yes perfect for self defense close quarter combat, and throwing distance of 30 feet. These are professional throwing knifes so if you are a beginner at throwing knifes and what to start I recommend that u buy throwing knifes called perfect guide for beginners.

It clearly states it's not for prying or throwing, as the tip WILL break. If your intention is to do one or the other, find yourself a knife that's made for such things or buy yourself a cheap one.

Do not use plywood for throwing knives, it's way too hard. The cross-ply construction makes it virtually impenetrable. Use a pine board.

Short answer is yes, it can. It is very sturdy, but heavy, in a pinch to save a life, if I had to, I might throw it. But this is not a balanced throwing knife, it is a beefy, heavy, double edged dagger style seath knife, and quite frankly its almost nice enough to be a work of art. The picture does not do justice to the damascius deep rich pattern. I have throwing knifes, and was also very good throwing the Sykes-Fairbairn and K-Bar military fighting knives, this one would not be one I would chose to use in that way.

no, which is a good thing, in my opinion. this knife blows hard though, trust me. it will break very very soon after purchase.

It's best for slicing. It dices well too. Great knife for the price. Voted best on cooks illustrated too.

I suppose you could if you want but it wouldn't work very well at all.If you're looking for a knife to throw without spin, I definitely wouldn't buy these.

Doesnt make a good defensive weapon imo. Unless you have experience with knife fighting, you might end up hurting yourself just as much. Its a big knife, feels solid and sturdy in the hand, but just doesnt feel balanced right for defense.

They're a heavy knife to throw.. The price is right for them. I'd recommend buying 2 sets. Three knives are thrown fairly quickly and that makes for a lot of trips to and from the target. They do get knicked easily..if u can throw on grass,that's perfect. If not, use some kind of padding on the floor. They are very sharp out of the box. If your handles get knicked they can cut your hand. I'd recommend good ol electrical tape to cover the sharp edges. Happy throwing!

It is a carbon steel knife, so it will throw sparks nicely. As a hint, use the back of the blade to do the sparking and save your edge. The back is flat with square edges, so it should throw sparks well.

Yes, these were the first throwing knives I had ever touched. Within in minutes I picked up how to throw them &#128522;

(Laughing) Sounds like a tech question. Not sure what the density of the steel is and I have not exactly put it through my personal quality control either. Never threw it around like a throwing knife, never tried using it as a pry bar or tried cutting copper pipes or anything. Since it's a fixed blade, it's not my everyday carry either. I put it in my tackle box and use it to cut squid or sea creatures that might try and attack. Since there are no moving parts, pivot points and no joints, it cleans easily and no place for squid goo to hide in. The price is ridiculously cheap so I don't feel bad if I drop it on the rocks or drop it in the sand. It's perfect for using and abusing and when it gets dull or the edged gets damaged, I will just take it to the grinder to clean up the edge (something I would never do to my Kershaw or Infidel), then hit the wet stone for a few swipes. There are no sentimental attachments, wasn't handed down from pappy. It's cheap, so not exactly a big investment. If you want a cheap knife that you can beat up, carve your name in innocent trees and make home made spears, get it.
