Ka-Bar Throwing Knives

These Ka-Bar throwing knives are completely dull on all sides, even the point is dull. Is that a bad thing?

The design of this knife allows you to correctly hold it for all styles. This should almost be marketed as a training throwing knife to perfect all grips. My son loves them.

Im R lee cloer. Marine corps vet. And I would like to comment on the kbar thrower's.

And if anybody who owns a throwing knife or practitioner of the sport, should also own a file or angle grinder to make them the sharpness they desire.

They come blunt because of safety reasons which is smart. And better for everyone. Great knife. Would recommend to anyone who throws !

Nice. These are GREAT! Excellent starter set. I've had a set for almost a year and have put these through the ringer. Being marketed as "throwing knives", I think they have gotten a bad wrap based on their reviews. Like you said, most reviews ding them for not being sharp bladed. I really think it's unfair to review these badly for not being sharp. Just my opinion though.

Instinctive half spin on these are AWESOME! This is also one of the knives I started with no-spin throwing with.
Funny story on no-spin. My first no-spin experience was with a Spyderco 9" throwing set. These are absolutely not designed for no-spin, they are rotational knives. But, the flare between the handle and blades forced me to use a low grip for no-spin (sort of a Fedin style grip). After I learned the mechanics of that style of grip, It was the Ka-Bar set I turned to to refine and really get turned onto no-spin throwing.
Side note - The Spyderco knives are amazing with instinctive half spin!! Little bit pricy though.

Nice review David. Love it. Keep on Chunkin!

I have these and using a sharpening stone, I beveled the first 1.5 inches of the edges. It takes about 15 minutes per knife. Not a cutting edge, just removed the flat spot and make the edges come to a point, similar to the edge on the Cold Steel Pro Flight knives and it makes a huge difference in how well it sticks.

Non riesco a farli piantare, inoltre la punta di è un po' arrotondata. Qualche tutorial ad hoc per questi coltelli?

"Not for me 😁 My solution is simple, Since there is a (Drop-Point) design sharpen the "TIP" and "UPPER" edges 1/12 to 2 inch surface area on (both) sides...(I actually used a WORKSHARP 3 in 1 hand-held) 👍🏼 took me at least 30 minutes per knife, It consist of Diamond, Smooth, Ceramic & leather compound strap with it)." 🤷🏼‍♂️

Twenty-five dollars for one knife or three?

Decent starter set. I passed on them because I've got way more knives than I need and I don't get many sets because I tend to throw 1 at a time which cuts way back on damage. Now the kabar thunder horse thrower, now that's a knife baby! Take care brother.
