For a sport or entertainment, a throwing knife is necessary. But not any ordinary or old knife will do. To hit the bull’s-eye target, you need a perfect balance throwing knife. Take note that you will not hit your target in such a short distance. In fact, other organizers would include moving objects to make the competition more challenging for the players. Your accuracy and passion is needed in using the knife. However, it would become useless if the knife you have is not engineered to give the spin and action you’re hoping for. Whether you’ll use it for hobbies, stunts or for competition, you need to find the best throwing knives for your needs. If you don’t know how and where to start, the following tips will help you how:

Ø  Choose a throwing knife that is neither too heavy nor too light – Hitting your target will never be an easy task for you. You need all your strength, accuracy and a perfect timing before releasing the knife in your hand. Lighter knives (floaters) are hard to control and often bounce back from the target at random. The perfect weight of the knife is 200g to 250 grams. Your knives should fly fairly and undisturbed by wind.

Ø  Quality throwing knives does not have a handle – Always remember, “the blade is the throwing knife”. You don’t need any design or handle to get a firm grip of your knife. The blade alone is enough to hold in aiming for your bullseye target.

Ø  Knives size should be between 12”-16” – This is just a perfect size, not too big and not  so small. You don’t need to throw it harder and strain to watch it in flight to the target. More so, this is the standard size of any throwing knife competition.

Ø  It should not be sharp – first time buyer of throwing knives may think that the sharper the knife the better. This is definitely wrong because you might only end up hurting yourself. The only necessary for a good knife tip is not too broad and gets flat.
