Cold Steel True Flight Thrower, Green

Just ordered my second True Flight Throwing Knife. This knife is amazing. I have used my first one quite extensively and wanted a second one for easier target practice (basically so that I don't have to walk back and forth after each throw). The balance is really great; balances on one finger at the point between the blade and handle without tipping. This gives the knife a good rotation while in flight. Basically, the knife will let you sink the blade into the target with great repitition at the same distance. I'm a beginner but I can land the blade into the target and make it stick at 10ft, 15ft. & 20ft. no problem. The blade is extremely durable. I have to sharpen mine now after all of its use but.... I have accidentally thrown my True Flight into some of the more cheaper knives I have while they were already in the target, and no damage done to the blade of the True Flight, while the others are pretty much useless now after the impact. Also, the knife feels great in the hand and is one solid construction from tip to tip, so you never have to worry about stuff flying off of the knife like I have had with some of the cheaper knives. Basically, this is a great knife and I am definately satisfied with my purchase. I really don't think I will be buying any other throwing knife, unless Coldsteel stops making the True Flight, but then I will be very dissappointed and probably never by anything from coldsteel ever again, jk. Great knife, great price!!!! (However, I wish Coldsteel could make a video devoted completely to the True Flight model so that we can see how much abuse the knife can take, which is alot so far from my experience!) If you need to learn how to throw a knife, just go to youtube and there is some kid's video about how to learn, very useful info and that's how I learned. I personally kept taking a step back from the target after every throw until I got to a distance of where I could sink the knife into the target and then came back to that point and kept throwing the knife until I got the hang of it and was able to sink the blade every time. Good Luck!!!!Update:Just a little update to my previous post. I just found out the bad way that carbon steel isn't waterproof. My knives were left out in the rain and the next morning had some rust on them. But it isn't anything a grinder or knife sharpener can't take off. Also, make sure you don't throw one true flight knife into another true flight knife. I stuck one knife into the wooden target I built and then threw the second knife I had into the same region on the board. There was a loud clank and both of my knives are now damaged. What happened was the knife I was throwing hit the handle of the knife that was in the board already and cut the paracord off, dented the handle and dented the blade. I fixed the blade by sharpening it again, got it razor sharp this time. But the handle on the other knife has no grip now; although I must say that I think the knife handles better now and I actually prefer it that way because I now get better spin control. But yeah, there's the heads up for ya. If you throw two or more true flight knives, aim for opposite corners of the board. If you only have one, then don't worry about it. Like I said before, the true flight breaks any of the other knives I've thrown it into with pretty much no damage to itself.

The media could not be loaded. Definitely love this knife. It is solid and takes a beating because it took me a little bit to get the feel for it. I’ve been throwing this thing no spin and it hits almost every time and I’m not an expert. It feels great, balanced, and the sheath is good quality. I would definitely recommend this for the price. It’s a great carrier and the blade is fairly sharp as well which is why I don’t do half spin with it. 😆

After much thought and searching around I finally settled on ordering a pair of these knives. I like Cold Steel products and generally find them to be well made and durable... this knife is NO EXCEPTION. Buy with confidence, these are priced right for what you are getting. A heavy duty carbon steel blade that will put up with years of punishment. At twenty something dollars, this is a good value, buy it, or two or three. You'll spend $50 on a folder and $100 on a big fixed blade, so why skimp on a good thrower?!?Go buy some pot metal cheapo specials, and you'll throw the knife a few times, and then you'll throw it and hit a bulls-eye right into the trash can. Plus all of those other "throwing knives" are so stupid-goofy with a big fat blade and a tiny impractical handle.Want to learn how to throw a real knife? Get this one, want to throw a few times and move on to some other pleasant little distraction? Don't waste your money here, go buy a pot-metal wally world special and be done with it.Oh yeah, you will miss, and you will hit hard objects, the knife will bounce around on your concrete floor, and you will sometimes hit another knife stuck in the target. Don't fool yourself. This blade will show the wear, but won't have massive chips or bend horribly with this abuse. Plus when you throw this puppy, be prepared to see it hit hard, man, I would NOT want to be hit with one of these! Even a handle hit would wound somebody seriously.As an aside, I bought these specifically for no-spin knife throwing, and have found these to work well for that... no they're not perfect, but I feel like I could pick up any heavy combat knife and stick it at a reasonable distance! Try to learn that with one of those buffoonery pot-metal specials. Also, be prepared to shred up the para-cord handles on these as your blade might hit just right with a subsequent knife (especially when throwing multiple weapons, which I avoid now because of this). No problem, a little patience and you can just wrap a new handle, because you probably won't like the bare metal handle.The blade grind on this is a bit thick and flat for a survival knife, I would prefer a full flat grind, but you would lose weight and durability; however, this knife could work in a combat knife role much better than other throwers I've seen, you could even baton with this knife, but it would probably jam up because of the grind. After much throwing the blade will be pretty dull, but it's the tip that does the heavy work anyway, and I'm too lazy to sharpen this up all the time, so I'll take along my Recon Scout for camping (but I wouldn't want to throw it and ding it up... so maybe I'll take one of these after all!).Warning, this knife will destroy targets quickly, prepare to be splitting two by fours and having things go through your backstop and into your paint cans in the basement. Yes I thew THROUGH a can, and just couldn't get upset because it was just too cool, looking at how the knife stuck in the can, tip sticking out one side and handle jammed into the other... it actually sealed the can so paint didn't drip out much. You will be hard pressed to break a tip on this knife.
