(More customer reviews)I ordered two true-flight throwers in a moment of nostalgia for the days back in high school when me and my best buddy would drink beers and throw knives in his backyard. Back then all we had was a Ka-Bar and a Cold Steel Peacekeeper I - both excellent knives, but not exactly meant for throwing. The true-flight, however, is a serious throwing knife, and it is elegantly designed for its purpose.
The knife is of very simple construction - a single piece of 1055 carbon steel with a cord wrapped handle. The steel is thick, and when combined with the large size of the knife - 12" total - you have a heavy-weight thrower that is tough and resistant to damage from ricochets and misses. The weight makes for a great throw - when it hits on target, it really sticks in. The point is sharp and stays so even after many throws due to the hardness of the carbon steel. The knife is balanced almost right at the center, making it easy to throw from either the handle or the blade, depending on your preference.
I wouldn't limit the use of this knife just to throwing. In a survival situation the true-flight would be a good tool to have, and could definitely be lashed to a shaft of some sort and serve as a decent spear. The 6" blade comes razor sharp like all cold steel knives, making it as good a cutter as any. The cord handle provides a fairly good grip, though it might be somewhat abrasive if used extensively for cutting or chopping, and the lack of a hilt or guard might be dangerous if your hand were to slip. Still, the knife does have potential as a utility blade if it were necessary.
All in all this is an excellent throwing knife. It's satisfying, lots of fun, and it could prove quite versatile if the need arose. I highly recommend it.
