Great handmade imperfect but powerful design. These knives remind me of some of the ones that I have made and it’s super cool to throw or just to collect. These are massive strong and I use both as my last throws when I am tossing. You can find much more precise and tactical knives; but I love this knife because there is only one of these due to the awesome basic old school system of this and the other Old Timer throwing knifes. It is also a great way to see how a basic knife is made...
Just know that these are really ‘old school’ and not my first choice for a camping knife and it’s not meant for a utility knife. This is that last or first throw into the wooden target when you are tossing around and you looking to stick this beast! (Posted on 11/21/2017)

so far i haven't thrown it only gone through the motion.. and wow does this thing force your muscles ( quick jumpers and stabilizers ) to grow because this thing is heavy, you must be in control of the point of this knife it is 4 sided and can do damage. imagine your bullseye on your target (the center unless you need to move it because of your natural placement when you throw) as a magnet that the point is attracted to. that will help and start with half spin no spin from a few feet away or so with a 3 feet wide and tall target (at least).. like i said will make other knives seem smaller after using this. forces growth.. bad side would be i could do an all chrome / metallic would be nicer.. this paint makes my hands nasty but i treated it with pine resin and turpentine and it smells and feels much better. looks nicer too did come with light oil which is good but it was yellow owell could be natural. the knife has a great shealth must be their new model. will update more when i use it..

This is a great throwing knife. It is one heavy sucker and thick. It sticks very nice when thrown but needs a little more oomph (power). If you are looking for a good throwing knife for competition or fun I would recommend this knife. I would purchase this knife again. In the photos it is the third knife in from the right next to a fort turner and Ruko set. (Posted on 11/21/2017)

Awesome, as expected, but pretty overpriced considering the minimal craftsmanship involved. Still though. Not gonna break any time soon. Very satisfying stick. (Posted on 11/21/2017)

This is one hefty chunk of steel!
I took a star off due to shoddy leather cuts on the handle (grip was cut to uneven lengths compared to the opposite side). The leather is dark on mine because I've treated it with wax and oil to waterproof it against rain and snow.
The blade came heavily oiled, which is great, but it's a dirty oil, so I changed it to a more clean oil so as not to soil clothing upon touch.
Personally, I use the no-spin throw technique (technically the blade rotates 1/4 spin), so I prefer very sharp knives. A couple of hours with a diamond stone got me a nice sharp and strong edge (18°) to make this knife more than a camping toy; to make it into a full fledged weapon and tool.

It's funny to think it took me this long to get to this part, but this knife throws VERY well. It hits HARD. I'm going to need a harder target, because thick cardboard and Styrofoam don't stop this ugly monstrous knife! Yes, the knife is ugly, but in a rugged, manly way.

My KA-BAR will remain my EDC knife, but this beast is what I'll use when I really need a blade that can be beaten to Hell and back again!

I'll tell you right now, this knife is worth the $50 sticker price.

UPDATE:
The main part of the sheath is constructed well, but the belt loop is total garbage. One of the loop's threads came out of the sheath (not cut, but just somehow came out), and the glue used to secure the leather ends is dissolving. In all fairness, I modified the sheath to be water resistant against rain and snow, but this is absurd. I'm going to have to use some proper heavy duty upholstery thread to redo the stitching, and go all Gorilla Glue + hot glue to insure this doesn't come undone again. If that fails, an improvized paracord strap will be attached and anchored through the eyelets, which I may do anyway. Even with this terrible design flaw and need for reworking the sheath, I still recommend this knife for use as a heavy blade for heavy use (1/4" spring steel, seriously, that's some durable s***).

edge is not sharp and the blades on both of the knives I purchases are bent! (Posted on 12/28/2016)

upon receiving this knife i was a bit disappointing that the knife was completely dull. i mean it has absolutely no edge. but for a throwing knife i suppose an edge inst required. that being said the baleen and durability of this knife is exactly what you want in a throwing knife. If this knife would have an actual edge then it would be a 5/5 with no reservations whatsoever. if you are looking for a recreational throwing knife than this is it. accept no substitute. if you're looking for a bush knife that is durable enough to throw then buy one of these and give it to a knife smith.
