JXE JXO Throwing Spikes, 9.4" Stainless Steel No Spin Throwing Set with Nylon Belt Sheath

These knives are extremely sturdy and are heavy enough for good penetration in no-spin throwingy. They are not as heavy as the 12" Cold Steel Sure Flight Sport knives or the 10" SZCO Supplies Heavy Balanced Full-Tang Stainless-Steel Blades (both of which are great knives), but they are beefy and want to fly and stick, which they do better than the SZCOs but not as well as the Cold Steels.The thickness and contour of the handle index nicely in your hand and facilitate a smooth and consistent release. The thickness of the blade at the point is almost as thick as the rest of the knife so the point is more conical than beveled. This provides ample penetration without compromising robustness. These things are tough and withstand Robinhood-ing and impacts with rocks without flinching.Even the finish is extraordinary! The flat satiny finish is visually appealing and feels so good in-hand. The first "J" in the laser-etched "JXE JXO" on the handle approximately marks the center of gravity of the knife and perfectly marks where you want the tip of your index finger to rest for no-spin throwing. I threw knives a lot in my youth, but I've only begun to throw no-spin recently. I find that these knives fly and stick consistently for me out to 15 feet and I can feel that they will do so from longer ranges as I progress.And the price is a bargain. Save yourself some time and additional shipping expenses and order six instead of three! You won't regret it.I've always been of the conviction that knives are great tools but poor weapons, especially throwing knives. Regarding throwing knives, it is extremely difficult and unlikely to inflict a crippling much less fatal wound with them and if they fail in either of those objectives, you only succeed in arming your attacker. But I feel like the JXE JXO Throwing Spikes are heavy, sharp, and accurate enough to neutralize a target.

These are GREAT!!! I wish they were silver though, already lost 2 of them. They are big and fun to throw. I have accidentally thrown them into the metal of my shed and lost one into the wall when it went all the way in. had them land and stick into concrete and not break.

By far my favorite throwing knives I have tried. Thick, strong and heavy.

These are very nice given the price and quality. They're surprisingly durable. I've had them hit hard wood and metal plating and not chip or shatter. The only negative side is that they're far lighter than most throwing knives. That and the cheaper quality steel can equal some scary ricochets. These should not be used unless you're an intermediate or expert skill level in knife throwing. The tips straight out of the box are needle sharp. I recommend filing them a little. You don't need a needle point for knife throwing and that also increases injury risk if you have a bounce back. They throw accurate and are very good for no spin style. Be very cautious using these for half spin.

Good, thick, heavy steel. These are great no-spin throwers. Obviously no competition for a much more expensive blade, but much better than anticipated.

Pros:Great PriceExcellent weightGood feel in the handCons:Tendency to chip/burr when they strike each other. Not taking off a star though, because when you throw 7 ounce piece of metal into another 7 ounce piece of metal at 40-50mph...sometimes they're going to chip.

Very well made great balance easy to ues and fun

Best I've had: good weight, balance, durable, and effective.
