5 Best Throwing Stars and Knives
Throwing stars and throwing knives have grown in popularity over the past couple of years thanks to movies and TV shows. They can also be used in self-defense scenarios. Whether you’re looking to pick up a new hobby or need some extra protection, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few things to know about throwing knives and stars, along with our picks for the top 5 throwing knives and stars.
Blade Type
Throwing knives come in either one-sided or two-sided blades. Your throwing style, intended use, and personal preference will all play into what blade style you choose. Our selection includes throwing knives with drop point, spearpoint, and dagger-style blades. The multiple-sided designs of throwing stars allow for easy throwing and stick every time!
Blade Material
Whether your blades need to stand up to multiple blows at a target or need to endure the elements, choosing the right blade material is important. We offer throwing knives from popular brands like Cold Steel, Smith & Wesson, Kershaw, and more that are made from the finest steels.
Handles
To be accurate, you’ll need a consistent grip every time. The shape, as well as the material of your throwing knife’s handle is very important. Many models offer paracord-wrapped handles for a reliable grip in any condition or environment.
Cold Steel Sure Strike Throwing Star 3PK
The Cold Steel Sure Strike is a modern day Shuriken (throwing star). Used for centuries in China and Japan, it consists of no more than a flat piece of steel with 3 or more points. If you throw it overhand like a baseball, side arm, underarm or back hand like a flying saucer, it hits on at least one point every time. Cold Steel's Sure Strikes aren't like the cheap, shoddy throwing stars you see at flea markets, guns shows, and in martial arts magazines. That's because they are laser cut from high carbon steel that's been heat treated to a hard spring temper before sharpening and then given a black, baked-on epoxy finish to protect them from the elements. All three share the same sized diameter, but are varied in weight due to the differences in steel thickness. Maximize your fun and get all three sizes! These are the stars that stick every time; the Sure Strikes from Cold Steel.
Features
- Pack of 3
- Heat treated spring steel
- Durable construction to last for countless throws
- Black finish
- 5.75"

Heavy duty and tough!
Indestructible throwing stars! These make for great fun throwing into log butts or plywood targets. You don't have to worry about damaging the points unless you hit concrete or thick metal. They are heavy and tough! They would do a lot of damage to soft tissue so it would be wise to not allow children or irresponsible adults to "play" with them.- Richard, 6/3/2019

Kershaw ION Throwing Knife 3PK
You have to admit it; throwing knives is fun. But throwing just any knife is dangerous—and not very smart. To throw knives, knives specially designed for throwing are required. That’s why Kershaw made the Ion Throwing Knife Set. The three knives in the set are designed to have the correct weight and balance for target throwing.
Kershaw’s Ion knives are double-edged, spear-point blades. Kershaw made these full-tang knives from sturdy, high-chromium stainless steel and wrapped the handles in durable, sure-grip paracord. The extra-wide ring at the end adds balance, offers a great place to attach a lanyard, and makes it easy to remove the knives from the sheath—or from the target.
All three knives fit neatly in the nylon carrying and storage sheath, which makes it easy to take them out to the throwing range.
Pack of 3.
Features
- Sure grip paracord
- Double edged spear point
- Nylon sheath included
