A chunk of iron. The throwing knife is huge. It's not a toy by any means. I didn't need it because I have a shared, roll-up case for throwing knives - but information for someone considering buying - the sheath is optional.

Cold Steel Sure Balance Thrower 1055 Throwing Knife
A simple design knife is inspired by classic throwing knives from the mid-20th century. Despite its substantial size and noticeable weight, the knife is well-balanced. It is made of 1055 tool steel.
1055 tool steel
The blade is made of 1055 tool steel, known for its optimal combination of hardness and ease of sharpening. It is characterized by high hardness and wear resistance, which translates to long-lasting sharpness of the cutting edge. This is due to its high carbon content and small amounts of manganese and silicon.
This material is distinguished by its good elasticity and impact resistance, which is important during intensive use of the knife, such as in fieldwork or survival situations.
balanced design, black anti-corrosion coating
This throwing knife, with a total length of 334 mm and a blade thickness of 5 mm, features a black anti-corrosion coating that reduces glare. The model was designed for competitive throwing, suitable for both beginners and more advanced users. Its optimal weight of 520 g ensures good balance and a stable flight.
ergonomically shaped handle
The shape of the handle is ergonomically designed for throwing techniques, allowing for a comfortable grip and control during the throw. At the end of the handle is a hole through which a safety cord can be threaded to prevent the knife from being lost.

A heavy knife and throwing it is a challenge, but it sticks well. I still haven't mastered the no-spin technique, but it's probably just a so-called 'skill issue'. The tips were not damaged by wood, but by ricocheting off a stone and hitting a nail in a board. I recommend getting a strong target, because my quickly made few planks nailed together split apart in just a few sessions.

One of probably just two ColdSteel throwing knives currently offered available with a sheath – it's a bit of a shame it's sold separately, but it's still worth getting. Very heavy, at least one of the heaviest (not counting the Torpedo 1"). Flies quite well, but I would recommend it rather to experienced throwers. Only for strong throws, preferably no spin. The target should be quite soft, as ricochets can be dangerous. I recommend it.

Very solid throwing knife, heavy but well balanced. You need to practice a bit to get the feel. Worth recommending.

At first I had a problem with this knife, but after changing my grip, it started to fly. It won't be my favorite knife, but I don't rule out buying a second one next time.
-
Very good quality. Accurate. Heavy. Sticks well. I recommend it.
-
Perfect knife for throwing, I recommend it.
-
Good throwing knife, fun to play with.
-
Very good knife. Heavy and well balanced. Throws very well. After buying and testing my first piece, I already bought a second one of the same kind. I recommend it.

This is not exactly the same product I bought; mine had KL in the name, but it's no longer available in the store, so I'm reviewing this one. This is my first throwing knife and I am very happy with it. Heavy, well-balanced, made of good quality steel – it took me some time before I started hitting the target. I hit a stone a few times, which bent and then broke the knife tip. After sharpening, everything was fine again and I could enjoy the fun all over again. I definitely recommend it.
