The Cold Steel 80TFTC True Flight Thrower is a high-performance tactical knife specifically engineered for precision throwing. Crafted from 1055 carbon steel, this tool is designed to withstand the rigors of repeated impact without bending or breaking, unlike many inferior alternatives on the market. Its robust construction and balanced design ensure consistent flight trajectories, making it a reliable choice for both novice and professional knife throwers.
Advantages
The primary advantage of this knife lies in its material composition. By utilizing 1055 carbon steel, the blade offers a perfect balance between hardness and resilience, allowing it to absorb the shock of impact against targets without sustaining damage. The black, baked-on protective finish further enhances durability by providing resistance against corrosion and wear. Additionally, the knife features a functional utility edge, which adds a layer of versatility, enabling it to perform various cutting tasks beyond its primary purpose as a throwing implement.
Suitable for
- Precision target practice
- Knife throwing competitions
- Outdoor recreational activities
- General utility cutting tasks
When it may not be suitable
This knife is not intended for fine, delicate carving or precision bushcraft tasks that require a specialized blade geometry. Furthermore, users who prefer lightweight knives for throwing may find the 275-gram weight substantial, as it is designed for stability and impact force rather than speed-focused throwing styles.
Key specifications
- Blade material: 1055 carbon steel
- Finish: Black, baked-on protective coating
- Weight: 275 g

How to use
To use the Cold Steel True Flight Thrower, hold the knife firmly by the handle or the blade depending on your preferred throwing technique. Ensure you are in a safe environment with a suitable target made of soft wood or specialized throwing boards. Focus on a smooth, consistent release to maintain the knife's balance during flight. After use, wipe the blade clean to remove any debris and store it in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the carbon steel.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure you have a safe, dedicated area for throwing practice.
- Consider the weight of 275 grams to ensure it matches your throwing style.

Usage recommendations
