Cold Steel La Fontaine Thrower 1050 Knife

A massive throwing knife made from a single piece of 1050 high-carbon steel. It was designed by Cold Steel’s longtime collaborator, Luke LaFontaine, who is known for his passion for historical bladed weapons. He created a knife whose primary purpose is throwing, but thanks to its sharp cutting edge, it also works well for cutting.

durable 1050 carbon steel construction

The knife is made from a single piece of 1050 high-carbon steel. The material has undergone professional heat treatment, giving it high impact strength and crack resistance, which is particularly important for throwing knives. This model is characterized by very high-quality craftsmanship, durability, and excellent balance.

Recurve Kukri profile blade, black anti-corrosion coating

The blade, shaped like a Recurve Kukri, features a long false edge that enhances the tool’s piercing ability. The blade is 203 mm long and has a thickness of 5 mm, providing above-average resistance to breakage. The curved blade features a gently hollow grind and is sharpened along its entire length, making this model suitable for use as a general-purpose knife as well. The knife is coated with a black finish, which protects against corrosion and eliminates light glare.

integral, steel handle, cross guard

The ergonomically shaped handle, which is an integral part of the knife, fits comfortably in the hand and makes it easier to make precise throws. A deep notch for the index finger and the cross guard prevent the hand from sliding onto the blade during use. The steel construction allows the user to customize the handle, for example, by wrapping it with parachute cord.

1050 feature
1050
1050 is a medium-carbon steel, which is the American equivalent of Japanese S50C steel, used in bushcraft and survival knives as well as work tools. The carbon content of 0.47-0.55% ensures good hardness and edge retention, while manganese 0.6-0.9% increases hardenability and impact resistance. The addition of silicon 0.15-0.35% improves elasticity and structural stability during heat treatment. The low phosphorus and sulfur content reduces the brittleness of the material, which translates into its durability and flexibility. After hardening, the steel achieves a hardness of 55-60 HRC, maintaining a balance between abrasion resistance and ease of re-sharpening.

    The throwing knife is well balanced. If you only use it for throwing, it's worth slightly dulling it so you don't cut your hand when gripping the blade. If you throw it by the handle, it's fine as is. Besides that, after wrapping the handle with a cord, it can be used as an emergency machete. There's no sheath included, so you'll have to make one yourself.

    A very interesting knife for customization. You can easily add a wrap or handle scales. Very heavy and can successfully be used for chopping. The steel holds its sharpness just like Cold Steel machetes. Great toy at a good price.

    As a throwing knife it's okay, but you can also easily and quickly make handle scales, resulting in a pretty good pseudo-machete.

    Large and dangerous blade. Fits well in the hand and flies nicely, though some skill is already required. Good product, I recommend it.

    At first, it's hard to judge the distance, but it's a beautiful weapon.
