How is this knife for throwing, thanks?

It depends on your knife throwing experience. Mine is somewhat limited, but studying how experts throw technique wise shows that it does require altering how one throws from that of a traditional straight edged blade. It's more like a combination of throwing an ax and a Bowie. Throw-ability aside, it's a great knife, particularly for severing. As far as throwing goes, look up Michael Janich's videos on throwing knives, he's an authority on this stuff.

This is not a good knife for throwing, it does not have the balance and is too heavy.

not for throwing. Real nasty chopper. If your looking for a throwing blade look for a kunai. lots of fun. enjoy.

I have never tried throwing it, but just based on the weight distribution and design, I'd say it probably wouldn't be very good.

It's 1050 or 1055 high carbon steel. Lightweight thin blade. Pretty strong though, I've chopped with as hard as I could on some old, dry, hardened dead wood and thrown 50-100 times, all after normal use clearing brush (5-6 times at least) and it's holding up well. With the exception of some light chipping/damage initially (sometimes bits of the hardened edge chip off initially) it's held up well. Fun to throw, might destroy the handle eventually but the blade is undamaged from the throws SO, IN SUMMARY IF I HAVEN'T BROKEN IT YET, IT'S A GOOD CARBON STEEL ALLOY.

Yes, these were the first throwing knives I had ever touched. Within in minutes I picked up how to throw them &#128522;

This throwing knife is realy fun for beginners. It has hit the cement lots of time and has not broken. . Very very fun....

Probably not. Its good for throwing but i would not use it as a survival knife. Its really heavy and the blade wouldn't remain sharp very long. I would recommend for throwing unless your trying to do the thorn style. Only really good for spinning throws.

Yes it is capable if your familiar with throwing axes/knives but I wouldn't suggest it, it's pretty solid (and sharp) but I wouldn't chance something like that.

It is slightly blade heavy. I have seen videos of people using it as a throwing knife. I believe some of the videos originated with Cold Steel themselves. I have it in hand right now. I believe it would work. The blade point geometry, however, would make me leery of doing so, myself. Point is not super reinforced, actually comes to a point. I'd think that, eventually, it would break off. Just my opinion. The videos say otherwise.

It is excellent for chopping and dicing. I have many excellent knives but this is my favorite for slicing and dicing vegetables.

It's decent. No noise from any potential wiggle once inside the shealth. This is one knife that would recommend to everyone. I collect all kinds and I am very picky. If your thinking about buying...stop and just buy it. It is well worth it.

This knife will take whatever you can throw at it. It is part of my edc however if its a camp knife that your looking for in this price range you might want to look at the Condor tool and knifes Rodan its a well built knife intended for bushcraft

I've found this one to be a good last resort type knife. I've tested it some just to see what it could do. It throws decent sparks from the spine off a ferro rod. It stays sharp and holds an edge pretty well and does decent work making feather sticks. The RSK does good work Skinning small game like squirels and gutting fish. I wouldn't use it to baton wood (But why would you want to with such a small blade) I swapped out the included cord for some paracord and tied it off to fit my hand. Used withing it's limits it's a great knife. Is it a primary cutting tool? No. But stashed in a survival tin and kept handy, it's better than most small folding knives.

The handle is smooth. The curves of the handle fit nicely in the hand which is what gives the grip. As you probably know this isn't the kind of knife one would use for digging/stabbing motions. Your hand would certainly slip under those conditions. It's a great knife if used for the intended purposes. My wife bought this for me and I liked it enough that I recently bought one for her.

It's a great knife on big game, and although I've never used it on smaller game, I'm sure it would do well. Very sharp, holds its edge. I typically use a fillet style knife when working with small game.

This is a combat/fighting knife. It is good for surviving combat. Hatchets make good survival tools. Take a sharp, small/med fixed blade knife too.

Both it just depends how your release is. You should not be holding it for dear life when throwing by the blade. hands need to be relaxed. the full knife is about 5inchs, they arent very big or heavy

No its not a throwing knife at all. Look for throwing knives on Amazon where they are made to throw. Do your homework on knives before u get them.

Yes, This knife is by far my favorite "cheap" knife purchase. At first it wouldn't fully lock under spring pressure but a little "wearing in" and its flawless. Also mine came sharp as hell and ready for use. After purchasing a while back, I still carry it almost daily.
