Choosing the Right Throwing Knife for Your Needs
Not all throwing knives are created equal. Choosing the right throwing knife depends on your skill level, technique, and personal preference. Our collection includes balanced throwing knives, blade-heavy models for power throws, and lightweight throwing knives designed for speed and accuracy. When selecting a throwing knife, consider:
- Weight & Balance: A balanced knife rotates evenly, while blade-heavy knives provide more control.
- Blade Length: Shorter throwing knives are quicker, while longer ones allow for greater stability.
- Material & Durability: Our throwing knives are made from high-quality stainless steel and carbon steel to withstand repeated impacts.
The Best Throwing Knife Set for Beginners
If you're just starting out, investing in a throwing knife set is a great way to practice and refine your technique. Our beginner-friendly sets come with multiple knives so you can practice consistently without retrieving after every throw.
For beginners, we recommend brands like On Target and Ridge Runner, which offer lightweight, easy-to-throw knives with durable construction. Their ergonomic grips and well-balanced designs make learning to throw easier and more enjoyable.

Shop All KnivesHow to Choose the Perfect Throwing Knife Target
A throwing knife target is essential for safe and effective practice. A proper target absorbs the impact of the knife, preventing damage to the blade while providing a solid surface for consistent sticking. We recommend using:
- Wood Targets: Softwoods like pine or poplar absorb impact well.
- Target Boards: Specifically designed for throwing knives, available in various sizes and thickness levels.
- Portable Targets: Great for setting up in different locations for versatile practice.
Setting Up a Target for Throwing Knives
If you want to improve your accuracy, setting up your target for throwing knives correctly is key. Here’s what you need to do:
- Choose a Safe Location: Find an open space away from people and objects.
- Use the Right Backing: A sturdy wooden board or hay bale helps prevent damage to the knives.
- Mark Your Target: Draw concentric circles or use a painted bullseye for precision training.
- Stand at the Right Distance: Beginners should start 6-10 feet away and adjust as they improve.
