How to Choose Your First Throwing Knife

Choosing your first throwing knife is an important step to ensure effective learning and minimize frustration.

Here’s what to look for:

Balance

Look for knives that are perfectly balanced between the blade and handle.

Weight

Choose knives weighing between 6-12 ounces for better control.

Durability

Stainless steel or carbon steel options resist damage from repeated throws.

Simplicity

Avoid fancy shapes — beginners should start with simple, traditional designs.

Length

Ideal starter knives are between 8 and 12 inches.

Starting with the right type of knife can significantly speed up your progress.

  • Focus on a consistent grip and release.
  • Practice the same throwing motion until it becomes natural.
  • Use soft wood targets to reduce knife bounce-back.
