Amatuers

They’re not the greatest throwing knives ever created. But it’s clear from the comments above that you people are amatuers with cutlery let alone the art of throwing knives. They’re not sharp from the get go, because of the price range. But they are perfectly weighted for soft targets. If you broke the handle off, then you shouldn’t own a throwing knife, a pocket knife, or a butter knife. I’ll bet you’re having someone help you to read this review right now. YOU HAVE ZERO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! These are perfect beginner throwing knives. That’s it! Well weighted, and more than sufficient. Ignore the negative comments on here. These are great camping, practice, throw knives. Not assassin, military grade, assault knives. But from reading said prior comments, I may be the only veteran who did comment. I.e. great for camping, a moderately i.q.’d individual can put an edge on them. And I hope the previous reviewers aren’t defending our country.

Great Beginner Set

I 100% agree with Montana....😒 or whatever his name is, these knives aren’t as bad as people are saying on here. Idk what they expected for $30, but these knives are perfectly balanced and great for starters and practicing. I have no idea how someone could manage to brake all 3 in an hour🙃 I’ve had mine for about 2 months now, and none of them are broken, I lost 1😔 but the other 2 are still in great shape. I’ve sharpened them up and the edge has kept up after hundreds of not thousands of throws into trees, random wood boards or whatever random thing I try to stick them in. The paracord is still on both remaining knives too. I could imagine if u tried, it wouldn’t be hard to remove them, but it hasn’t fallen off just from throwing them. I definitely recommend these knives for backyard fun, I wouldn’t try to assassinate anyone with them. Have 🤩 fun

I've got a new addiction!

I've never been able to stick anything I threw until these. I've had them about a month. Gift from a friend. Paracord came off 2 & I actually like them better that way. I throw about an hour a day & damn! I'm getting better! However today one of them broke. So sad because I do love Kershaw. I always have attached to me.I forgive Kershaw for their first flaw in my direction. I thank Kershaw & my friend for finding me a fun pasttime. Side note... I found my bucket list written several years ago. Number 1 was learn to throw knives. Who knew?! Their weakness is in the handle. Still a good learning tool.

Broke 2 of 6 in 5 minutes. Para cord falls off right away. Waste of money

I received these on Wednesday August 19, 2015. Used hem for the first time today (Saturday August 22, 2015) and within 3 throws (of each), the paracord came off and the handles snapped on 2 of the knives.

No way these are stainless

Like everybody else within 10 throws with each the tips snapped off. I'm a fabricator and can't say for sure but after they broke the metal looks very cheap. Like their carbon steel? Anyway the paracord is a easy fix with a lighter, and it really helps with the sound when you miss. But overall not a beginners knife .

Terrible

I ordered these because they were smaller and I have smallish hands. After using them 2 or 3 times the rope started coming off. After using them 5 or 6 times they became dull and needed sharpening which would've been fine if they hadn't started breaking in half at the neck. Not remotely worth it, DO NOT BUY.
