Throwing Knives

Most people probably know throwing knives from the circus or Hollywood movies. However, what only a few know: Knife throwing has a tradition that spans millennia. To hit a target, the highest level of concentration as well as a high degree of body control and precision are necessary. If you are interested in the targeted throwing of knives, you are at the right address with Meister Messer. In our online shop, you will find not only various throwing knives and throwing knife sets. We also explain what you should pay attention to when you want to buy a throwing knife.

What distinguishes a throwing knife?

Throwing knives are all knives that are suitable for throwing at targets. Ordinary kitchen knives and outdoor knives are usually impractical for this purpose. A throwing knife is typically characterized by a special blade geometry and precise weight distribution. Consequently, knives designed for throwing are typically very well balanced. This is also why throwing knives rarely have handle scales. In addition, they are usually made of a relatively soft steel. The comparatively flexible material ensures that the knife does not break upon impact with a target.

In today's time, throwing knives are mainly used as a sports equipment or weapon. In order to keep the risk of injury low, models are usually used here that are hardly or not sharpened at all - so they have a blunt blade. The situation is different with throwing knives designed for hunting. These have a sharp blade.

Buy throwing knives: Which criteria are important?

To find the optimal throwing knife, you should consider various purchasing criteria. An important variable is the sharpness of the blade. In this context, the intended use of the knife is crucial. The average user is most likely looking for a sports tool rather than a hunting weapon, which is why a version with a dull blade is recommended.

Another significant factor is the weight of the throwing knife. Professional knife throwers typically use models that weigh at least 200 grams. If the weight of the knife is lower, its trajectory cannot be controlled as well. However, heavier models require more strength in the fingers and wrist. For beginners, who usually practice at very short distances, throwing knives weighing around 100-200 grams are more suitable. However, those who want to approach knife throwing more ambitiously should definitely also acquire a few models with higher weight.

The blade length is also of importance. Depending on the model, this is usually between 10 and 30 centimeters. The rule of thumb is: The shorter the blade, the faster the knife rotates. Those who have no experience with knife throwing should therefore tend to choose a longer model.
