Best Throwing Knives

In certain circles, SOG knives are synonymous with throwing knives, so SOG Classic Throwing Knives Set appearing on this list comes as no surprise. No, the good part is there's nothing surprising about these throwers. With each handle featuring 7-feet paracord wrapping, the knives ensure the firmest grip, so even wet, dirty hands will not accidentally drop them. Plus, 21 feet total, the wrapping can prove useful in multiple unexpected situations.

Crafted heel to butt from the toughest stainless steel, these 9.5-inch full-tang throwers are tailored towards the crowd that throws hard. They do not spin (unless you make them). They do not rotate (unless you're practicing the combative rotation style). Quite the opposite, these things fly like bullets.

Satin-polished, the blades do not fall victim to corrosion even when stored in a humid environment. The spear point on these blades will bite deep on every throw. The edges have been aggressively tapered but not sharpened, meaning that these throwers can fit more throwing techniques.

Some believe that the supplied sheath does not match the knives' quality but, aside from that, the SOG Classic Throwing Knives Set will rise to the occasion, with the build instilling confidence and the length fitting even professionals.

The Smith & Wesson Stainless Steel Throwing Knives Set offers big-time blades, durable and dependable. Besides the blades, the set also includes an awesome black nylon sheath belt, holding the six throwers, enabling comfortable storage and transportation, and keeping them within reach. Featuring dual blades, these knives are less susceptible to bending and deforming with time.

The handles have the same cutout too, so chances are, the knives will go the distance. Now, the issue with these handles is that they're not adopting any wrapping/padding, so they can get slippery at times, which means that you cannot go wrong bringing some gloves with you, especially when the forecast suggesting that the rain's coming.

What's also coming is the throwers' 4.7-ounce weight (each knife), making them pretty heavy but not too heavy, so that you can feel the weight without feeling like you cannot throw as hard as you usually can. Last but not least, made from high-strength stainless steel, the knives are practically immune to corrosion.

Taking everything above into account, including the thumb knob and the ergonomic grips, the Smith & Wesson Stainless Steel Throwing Knives Set will accommodate enthusiasts, newbies, and pros alike.

The Perfect Point PP-060-9 Throwing Knives Set are more about teaching newbies than satisfying experienced knife-throwing enthusiasts. They're not the worst knives, not even close. But, the edges on these throwers can get dull within the first few months (though they are easy to sharpen) and, length-wise, they're measuring 6.25 inches, whereas most enthusiasts and pros are used to 8- and 9-inch knives. They also weigh around 3 ounces, while standard throwers are pushing above 4.

On the upside, the reduced weight makes them perfect for newcomers since that means you're less likely to sprain the wrist. What also makes these knives perfect for beginners is the red rope wrapping the handles, ensuring that the knives do not slip out while throwing. There are also rings on the handles, so you can spin them looking like a badass ninja and Chinese inscriptions on the thumb knob, adding to the whole ninja aesthetic.

Basically, between the rings, the red rope, the black finish, and the Chinese inscriptions, they look very much like kunais (not an accident we'd reckon), so Naruto fans can rejoice and even look into these throwers for cosplay purposes (they're real knives though, so exercise caution).

The Perfect Point RC-179 Series Throwing Knives Set is an excellent starting point, catering to most skill levels. Plus, the knives look sweet, with the black coating adding character and the spiders printed between the handle and the blade making the throwers look unique.

What's a little upsetting is that the black coating does not last, usually wearing out within the first two years. But, before that happens, the coating protects the throwers from rust and corrosion. Plus, they're made from high-tensile stainless steel, so even without the coating, the knives can survive humid environments without showing corrosion signs.

The knives are 8 inches long, 4 ounces light, and 100% evenly balanced, which means that people who have considerable experience with throwing knives under their belt will not have to get used to them.

The last stop before wrapping this one up is the cutouts on the knives' handles that allow ribbons to be tied onto them.

In short, the Perfect Point RC-179 Series Throwing Knives Set knows what people who are into throwing knives need and delivers just about everything that these needs entail. Even the knife sheath is above-average, holding knives securely yet allowing you to easily take them out.

The Smith & Wesson Throwing Knives Set will not surprise you. They're solid knives, nothing's wrong with them, except that the weight does not seem to be distributed evenly, hence the last (yet still honorable) spot on this list. Apart from that, the full-tang knives are not that different from the preceding Smith & Wesson product, removing the black oxide finish from the equation. We would avoid doing that though because this coating does not only improve the knives' appearance but also protects them from scratches, rust, and corrosion.

Even when it is raining cats and dogs outside, you can throw these knives without fretting that they will start forming rust and corrosion patches. Plus, the finish lasts, so the throwers remain looking good for years to come. With the reinforced tips, they also remain perfectly throwable since there's very little chance the tips will deform.

Following the common playbook deployed across most throwing knives, these ones measure 8 inches long and weigh 4.1 pounds, which are the tried-and-tested metrics that are conducive towards the most comfortable throwing experience. So, considering the reasonable price, you cannot go wrong with these knives from Smith & Wesson.
