Perfect Point RC-179 Series Throwing Knife Set with Three Knives, Steel Handles, 8-Inch Overall, Silver

I purchased 5 sets of these knives, and gave one to each member of our family for a Christmas present; I am always on the lookout for stuff we can do as a family that is new and different. So, I am not an expert. However, I do try and read reviews and I had read up on these knives, and they appeared to be a good buy. My hubby built a nice target board out of reclaimed cedar boards from an old deck we had. The knives came out of their boxes much sharper than I expected. They have decent heft, and, once you figure out how to throw them (it takes a while and EVERYONE has their own opinion on how to do it), they make a very satisfying THUNK when they penetrate, and they have enough weight to travel quite a distance, and I have no doubt that they could do serious damage if ever thrown at a person. I am looking forward to getting better at it. Kids are already saying we need a "dart board" pattern on the board so we can have more & different types of competition. (the first few times you are just trying to figure out how to get them to "stick") Anyway, we have been out a few times and the knives are holding up very well. Being from Wisconsin, we started out in a garage due to the cold, but I worried about the knives being damaged from bouncing off the concrete floor all the time. They weren't, but we moved outside, and that is definitely better. When they bounce off the board and land on the ground they don't bounce, they just stick in the ground, so I think its safer, too. I sponged a blotches of different colored acrylic paint on the handles where the grip grooves are, to tell them apart. All in all, I am very pleased with them and would buy again (in fact, already did as another gift for a friend). So if you are looking for a "price is right" beginner set, I don't think you can go wrong buying these knives.

I love these knives and I love throwing them. 👌

Okay. These are just fun. Can't think of a single practical use for this skill, but I don't care. For Christmas this year I bought throwing knives for all three kids (18, 14 and 12) mainly just to frustrate the wife. They loved them. My kids who can't agree on the sum of 2 + 2 spent hours in the back yard together throwing knives at (and near) cardboard boxes. Has a great time. This particular set has the dumb looking spider, but is otherwise good. Light and sharp. They have been bounced off trees and metal wing sets. Thrown into cardboard, wood and plastic. Still usable. The sheath is handy. If you want to try something a little different, these are a lot of fun for a little money.

I love these, recently lost one in the woods, will be buying another set. They are very easy to use for a total beginner, and depite being sharp, I have never been cut by them yet despite having them ricochet or slip from my hands numerous times. They are durable and don't chip easily. They are really well balanced and I can throw them with accuracy in any manner I choose, holding the the tip, center, end of handle, throwing it like a dart, etc. They imbed nicely into just about any dead tree or wooden scrap, and stay there. My only complaints are that the little holster is a bit on the cheap side, and that the black paint scratches off very quickly. I regret buying the black coloration over the silver only because it makes them very hard to find in leaf litter (hence the one I lost).

These were my first set of throwing knives, ever. I got 3 black, 3 bare metal, shipped quick. Made a cardboard target to start. Threw my first 3 knives. 2 of them stuck. Cool. Must have been the hours of videos I watched and practicing my form before I even got the knives. Threw about 50 more and then my cardboard target (about 6 layers of cardboard taped together with a circle marked with sharpie for the center/only target). So, I have pieces of wood laying around, so I use a hard outdoor pressure treated wood slab, about 5 feet long (height for my target) and 2 feet wide (enough side to side length so that I don't miss and hit a cat or something). Over the next 3 days, I had thrown those knives a good 1,000+ times. Then I let my friends try. Even with way more misses and "tings" and "tangs" of the metal hitting wood and echoing across my street, the knives still held up. Now we're at a few weeks later, I probably practice throwing about an hour or so a day give or take, have learned the no-spin throw from many distances, and the half-spin (holding blade side) throw from my comfortable distance. Learned 2 underhand throws, all with these knives. I've now started throwing larger 12"+ knives, and getting the feel of throwing a smaller knife like this gave me a lot more confidence with throwing larger knives, machetes, swords. Yes, if you miss a lot, or don't have a soft surface for your knives to fall on (for me, dirt or grass), you will start to notice chips in the blade. However, this doesn't take away from the throwing ability. Those who say they can't get these to stick are most likely just not doing it correctly (form, speed, distance, how it slides off your finger(s), height of the target, type of target, etc.). Whenever I miss a few throws in a row or they don't stick, I either move closer to the target, have a more fluid motion and almost slow it up a little to figure out what's going on with my throw, OR I'll toss some throws straight down into a piece of wood on the floor or even straight into dirt. It helps show me if my knife is over-rotating, under-rotating, going sideways, wobbling out of my hand instead of sliding out smooth, etc. It's definitely a fun hobby. I've made a few targets now and for me it's just a dart game with a new kind of throwing tool. I've seen people throw pocket knives, hunting knives, machetes, swords, nails, screwdrivers, scissors, and get them all to stick. I'm not at that level yet, but these blades gave me a good starting point to work on the basics of knife throwing. So yes, I give it 5 stars. Best first (and second) set of blades I bought. Thanks.

I am a newbie. So these knife is only for fun. They are very small and light. If you are a beginner, better get 10-12 inches and more than half lb throwers. Those are easy to start with. If you don't already have some basic skills, throwing these can be a little frustrating. Quality not bad, just not for beginners

Cool looking blades. I'm already a pro. Only sharpened a few centimeters from the tip.

I bought these the other day and they came today. They look nice, but feel a little light compared to a Ruko End of Days that I got (which I had allready ground down after the tip bent and broke a week earlier). Went out and threw them for about an hour and a half to two hours. Came inside and the sharp edge of one of the knives was pretty notched (this is to be expected though because I hit it against the other knives a few times and it was nothing that a few minutes with a lower grit stone couldn't fix). The silver color makes them pretty easy to find. The sheath is okay. The material is sort of lightweight and a little inadequate, but otherwise, the sheath is nice. The closure is a velco type. The length of the knife is good. It fits quite well in my hands. The small depression on top of the blade right after the handle is a little hard to get used to, but was only weird for a few throws. Overall, the knives are very good and I would definately reccomend them. Pros---- -Coloring makes them easy to find -Good shape/fits into hand well -Acceptable sheath -The steel is good quality for a throwing knife, soft enough that it isn't too brittle, but strong enough that it dosn't bend easily -Kinfes came pretty sharp (not extreamly sharp, but pretty sharp) -well pointed tip (sharp, but sturdy) -sticks in well Cons---- -The knife is a lighter -The sheath material is a bit cheap -the knife could be a little bit thicker -the blades notched quickly (only because they hit each other on occasion) but nothing that a whetstone can't easily fix -if they don't stick in, they can usually bounce back anywhere from five to ten feet The only reason these lost a star is because they were a little too light for me. I prefer a slightly heavier knife.

I like these. Rigid and well balanced. I prefer the combat throwing style and these work great. Came with a quality feeling nylon sheath. For the money these are awesome for some backyard entertainment.

Out of all the cheap throwing knife gimmicks on amazon... These are actually not gimmicks and are good throwing knives to start on the cheap. They have a decent weight-to-length ratio - forgot the exact number, but they're neither too light nor too heavy for their size. Balanced on the middle (give or take a bit). The weight on each one, from memory, is +/-5grams from what's advertised. They're good for any throwing technique - personally using them for no-spin throwing, but they work just as well for full-spin and really any other. Gave 3/5 stars for durability, but really can't be too harsh about it. One of the tips broke on one of the knives. But that's after hundreds of throws into maple wood and potentially other knives. Plus for the price, can't really complain. Just know that they will break, and that's fine.

Fun and enjoyable blades to throw and decently balanced, not the strongest of durability and despite I've only had em for a few months, there's already plenty or chips and burrs despite I only throw at seasoned lumber targets. That's my only gripe, aside from that, they're well worth the buy :)

parfait pour débuter

While these knives are fairly thin and not that heavy, they are well balanced, throw well and stick easily. Very sharp so no spin is recommended. Good for indoor throwing in my opinion, but you could probably throw these fairly hard into softwood targets. Update: The more I throw these, the more I like them. I'm going to order a second set as they are surprisingly adaptable to multiple throwing styles and are showing to be pretty durable, not a scratch or dent tip or edge so far.
