 Can't beat the price and quality! August 25, 2010
Jared A.
These knives are great, they're sturdy and perfectly balanced, perfect for spin throwing. The price is unmatched and the sheath isn't as cheap as a review said it was and I'm very happy with it. I was looking at cold steel throwers, but you will get only one knife for the price of these three, and cold steel won't include a sheath! These knives are perfect for beginners, and I'd recommend these knives to anyone. They are great fun, and are well worth the money.
Good Set August 18, 2010

This is a pretty good set of throwing knives, they're well weighted and somewhat soft but they don't get nicks and scratches easily. Being stainless steel these are very easy to clean with some stainless steel cleaner and the fun part about these is how well they can stick with the handle or the blade. Good buy, nice looking blades as well.
 pretty good set of knives August 2, 2010

I recently purchased these knives to just try them out. The worked really well and I was able to consistently hit the center target much better with these than my other hibben knives. There is a technique involved with throwing them, as with any other knife, you have to find the "sweet spot".
As I said before, they are quite accurate when it comes to the target accuracy. However they do not penetrate quite as deeply as my heavier knives, which are the same length, they just weigh more.
I've found that they suit me throwing from 22/25 feet(blade throw). I also throw with alot of spin with all my knives, and the spin technique seems to work well with them.
All in all they are a good set of knives, but they did dull quite easily.
Great when using spin technique September 22, 2009

I ordered these because the tip of my old throwing knife (Muela) snapped off. I use the quarter spin or no-spin technique, which, favored the Muela because it was 11 inches long or so and had a heavy blade.
These knives are around 8 inches and are shaped like a propeller. The handle is about the length of my forefinger - so I had some difficulty in using the no-spin method. I still use no-spin with these knives but I have trouble in longer distances.
If you're using the spin technique, you would be right at home with these knives. They seem to be designed for that purpose. Durability-wise, these seem solid enough. I have a wooden target and sometimes I get a bad hit where the knife bounces off and lands on concrete tip-first and they're still ok.
However, one of the knives was about .5-1 cm shorter than the other two. Not really a big deal, but that means their quality control may not be 100% spot on, so, just keep your eyes open for other defects.

My 16 year old son loves these knives. Their shape gives them good balance and either end will stick into your target. The sheath is cheap leather and is virtually useless. The knives are solidly made from relatively soft steel (so the won't break). All thing considered, I'm happy with the value for the money spent.
