Unfortunately not. I do not recommend throwing it if you don't want to see a broken tip. Poor alloy or hardening quality. The knife gave up after one day of throwing. Only into wood.

Cold Steel Shanghai Shadow 1055 Dagger
Dagger with a Full Tang design, featuring a tang that extends the length of the entire handle. Forged from robust 1055 carbon steel for enhanced durability. The handle scales are ergonomically shaped and made from black polypropylene. Supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath for convenient and safe storage of the dagger.
1055 carbon steel
Forged from 1055 carbon steel, the knife blade offers excellent resistance to mechanical stress and impacts, along with strong crack resistance. Once properly hardened, the steel reaches a hardness of 54-57 HRC, providing effortless sharpening, though at the expense of increased susceptibility to dulling. Consistent maintenance is necessary to prevent corrosion.
Spear-point blade profile
Equipped with a Spear-Point style blade featuring a double-edged design, this model measures 178 mm in length and 4 mm in thickness, delivering exceptional piercing and penetration capabilities. The blade utilizes a hollow grind, which strikes an effective balance between strength and sharpness for smooth cutting performance. Located near the handle, a double-sided cross guard ensures hand safety by preventing accidental contact with the blade and facilitates the function of the dagger as an improvised spear tip. A black finish protects the blade, shielding the steel from corrosion and minimizing unwanted reflections.
Polypropylene handle and finger ring
Two contoured scales crafted from black polypropylene, known for its exceptional durability, resistance to damage, and ease of cleaning, form the robust handle. These scales are fastened to the steel tang using sturdy screws. A distinctive ring accents the handle’s rear, enabling you to rapidly rotate the blade around your index finger for swift grip transitions.
Secure-Ex sheath - various mounting options
The set features a Secure-Ex sheath, designed with multiple slots and openings for versatile attachment options to belts or gear. Reliable retention of the dagger is provided by a precisely contoured entry and a loop secured with a snap fastener.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
1055
1055 is a medium-carbon steel with a carbon content of 0.5-0.6%, characterized by a good combination of hardness, impact strength, and resilience. It is a steel with a simple chemical composition, containing mainly carbon and a small amount of manganese (0.6-0.9%), which improves the impact strength and hardenability of the material. Thanks to these properties, 1055 steel is widely used in the production of machetes, bushcraft knives, swords, and tools designed for heavier field work. After proper hardening, the steel achieves a hardness of 54-57 HRC, which ensures high resistance to cracks and chipping, but at the same time makes it easy to sharpen. However, due to its relatively low abrasion resistance and susceptibility to rust, this steel does not retain its sharpness for long.
