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.

Cold Steel La Fontaine Thrower 1050 Knife
Forged from a single piece of 1050 high carbon steel, this imposing throwing knife stands out for its robust construction. Developed in partnership with long-standing Cold Steel associate Luke LaFontaine—a respected enthusiast of historical edged weapons—this design prioritizes throwing performance. The sharp cutting edge also ensures excellent capability for cutting tasks.
durable 1050 carbon steel construction
Crafted from a single piece of 1050 high carbon steel, the knife's construction ensures superior performance. Undergoing a professional heat treatment process, the steel achieves exceptional impact strength and fracture resistance, qualities particularly vital for throwing knives. The design boasts excellent balance, robust durability, and high-quality craftsmanship.
Recurve Kukri profile blade, black anti-corrosion coating
Featuring a Recurve Kukri-style blade, the knife comes with a long false edge designed to enhance penetration capabilities. Measuring 203 mm in length and 5 mm in thickness, the blade delivers exceptional resistance to breaking. A gentle concave grind runs the length of the curved blade, which is sharpened from tip to heel for outstanding versatility in general utility tasks. A black protective coating shields the blade from corrosion and minimizes glare.
integral, steel handle, cross guard
A well-contoured handle, forged as an integral extension of the knife, rests securely in the palm and enhances accuracy during throwing. A pronounced index finger groove and cross guard act as safety features, effectively preventing the hand from slipping onto the blade while in use. The all-steel build supports personalizing the handle, such as by adding a parachute cord wrap.

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.

Nice knife, sticks well, everything's great, but the company is American and the knife says CHINA on it.

A solid piece of steel, throwing it requires a bit of practice.
-
Throws amazingly well. Highly recommend.
-
A great throwing knife with a heavy weight.
-
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.
