Best Throwing Knife

Gil Hibben Large Tanto Throwers

It is possible to throw just any regular knife but not every knife is used for professional or combat throwing.  Throwing knives have several features that distinguish them from other knives.  They have dull blades because sharp throwing knives can cut you if you throw from the blade.  Throwing knives have specific length and weight features – the heavier the knife,  the more impact it has on the target.  Their length vary from 6 to 12 inches and they should weigh 1.5 oz for every inch in length.  Beginners may find it easier to throw longer knives as they spin slowly so the throwers have more time to practice on the technique.  It goes without saying that good throwing knives should be made of good quality material.  There are many cheap knives on the market that just break easily or do not hit the target properly. High quality throwing knives are all made of one sheet of stainless steel and come without handles.  It is always recommended that you purchase your knives with sheaths that need to be of high quality as well.  What are some of the best throwing knives on the market?  This is not an easy question,  but here are some of the top selling ones:
