Cudeman Throwing Knives | Navajería
The throwing knives are pieces designed specifically for sport throwing, a discipline known internationally as knife throwing that combines technique, focus and precision. At Navajería we bring together the range of Cudeman throwing knives, made in Albacete with the balance and toughness this activity demands, suited both to the beginner taking their first steps and to anyone after a serious training or competition set.

Small training version: lightweight throwers to start building your skills effortlessly.
-
Packs of 3 throwers: sets ideal for getting started, practising repeated throws or gifting.
Materials and construction of a good throwing knife
What sets a throwing knife apart from a general-use knife is its specific construction. What matters is the weight distribution, which governs the spin and stability in flight, and the uniform hardness of the steel, calculated to absorb repeated impacts against wooden targets without chipping or bending the tip. The geometry does without a keen edge: the piece arrives unsharpened or with a very moderate edge, since in this practice it is the tip that penetrates, not the cutting edge. Many throwing knives are built from a single piece of steel, with no fragile scales, to withstand the demands of repeated throwing.
How to choose your throwing knife
To get your purchase right it helps to keep several practical criteria in mind according to your experience and your goal.
-
Level: if you are starting out, go for a lightweight thrower or a multi-piece pack so you can repeat throws; if you already have the technique, a large model will give you more rotation.
-
Finish: the satin finish is eye-catching, while the blued finish is more discreet and weather-resistant.
-
Quantity: training with several identical pieces (such as a pack of 3) helps you ingrain the movement without picking up between throws.
-
Maintenance: dry and lightly oil the blade after practising outdoors to prevent rust.
Frequently asked questions
Do throwing knives come sharpened? No. Given the nature of the discipline, throwing knives are supplied unsharpened or with a very moderate edge, since in throwing it is the tip that sticks, not the edge.
What can you safely throw at? The usual practice is on soft-wood targets or logs at an estate, club or designated area, always respecting distances and the safety of the people around you.
Is a pack of 3 a good idea to start with? Yes. Having several identical pieces lets you chain throws together, correct your technique faster and share the practice.
