Best Martial Arts Knives of 2026

"After just a few hours of practice, I was able to throw all three knives and hit my target. These are lightweight, easy to throw, and made from quality materials. The nylon sheath is secure and versatile, making it convenient to carry on my belt or leg."

"I’ve had a blast using these little throwers! Even though they’re on the smaller side, they are well-made and hold up great—mine still look brand new despite frequent use. Definitely a fun and worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in throwing knives."

"At first, I thought these knives were too light and wanted something bigger, but after trying both, I realized these are perfect for indoor office throwing. They’re well-balanced, don’t damage the target, and require real skill and coordination to stick consistently. Perfect for practicing indoors without worrying about damage."

"I got this for my son after he kept asking for one, and it turned out to be exactly as pictured. The quality is impressive, and it only took him a short time to break it in. It really looks and feels like a real knife, so I definitely feel that it was money well spent."

"As a parent, I feel comfortable knowing this is a safe practice knife for my 10-year-old. The balance and weight are perfect, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations."

"My son uses this as a fidget toy and he really enjoys the smooth action and solid weight. We found it to be a great value for the price and it arrived quickly."

"I've been thoroughly impressed with these knives—they arrived quickly, were professionally packaged, and are just as well-made and durable as I expected from Smith & Wesson. The balance and weight are spot on, and the sheath makes transport easy. I highly recommend the 10-inch version for its stability and accuracy when throwing. Overall, it's a fantastic value and I feel confident they'll last a lifetime."

"After several months of use, I'm still enjoying these. They're easy to throw and stick well, with solid durability even after hard throws. While the blades aren't sharp at all, the weight and balance make up for it, and they're perfect for training. Minor edge maintenance is needed, but that's typical for throwing knives. For the price, this is the best set I've owned short of professional gear."

"These throwing knives really stand out for their excellent balance and control. The full tang stainless steel build feels solid, and the sheath is basic but functional. After several sessions, there's been no bending or chipping. Whether you're new or experienced, these knives give you great reliability and consistency in your throws."

"I was really excited to try these out and they didn't disappoint—they are razor sharp right out of the box. I'm a big fan of Gambit, so these made me feel like I could unleash my inner card-throwing hero. The included case is a great touch, but definitely be careful when handling them!"

"I've thrown all kinds of things—tomahawks, knives, even shovels—but these cards are something new for me and they're a blast to use. Just know that throwing metal at metal will eventually cause chips and scratches. The case is handy, but make sure to open it fully to avoid any mishaps."

"I got these as a birthday gift for my husband and he absolutely loved them. They're heavy, well-designed, and hold up well against targets. We appreciate the sturdy case for safe storage. The sharpness is no joke, so we always use gloves when handling them."

"My nephew really enjoys using this trainer—it's safe enough for endless practice without any risk of injury. I feel good knowing he can have fun and improve his skills safely."

"This practice butterfly knife surprised me with its solid build and realistic weight. I love the extra features like the bottle opener and fishing line cutter. If you're looking to upgrade your fidget gadget, this is a great choice."

"The trainer works well and has a nice heft to it, but the spring lock is a bit tough to latch. Still, I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to learn safely."

"I got these throwing knives as a gift for my son, who’s been in martial arts for years. They’re real metal, sharp, and perfectly sized for his hands. He spends hours outside practicing, and my husband enjoys them too. Great quality—definitely a good purchase!"

"I’m new to throwing, and these knives are exactly what I needed for practicing. They’re light and short but stick really well. Even when I missed the target, none broke or bent. Highly recommended for collectors or anyone wanting to practice."

"I bought these for my daughter since she loves 'The 4th Wing' series. They’re cheap and come in a large set, so I wasn’t worried about losing a few. Super lightweight, which makes them a bit tricky to throw, but she still has a blast with them in the backyard. Now that I know she loves it, I’ll look for heavier ones next!"

"I've been using this fidget for almost a year, and it's become my absolute favorite—honestly, it's the only one I use now. The quality is outstanding, and even after tons of drops and heavy daily use, it still feels and looks brand new. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it—it's super addictive and actually holds up over time."

"As someone who constantly flips and fidgets, I have to say this trainer is sturdy, well-balanced, and feels great in hand. It withstands a lot of accidental drops (I'm still learning!), and compared to my other trainers, it hasn't loosened at all. If you're a beginner or want a reliable, budget-friendly option, I highly recommend it—just be aware it looks real, so you might get some looks in public."

"I picked up the silver version a while ago, and overall, the full-metal build feels solid. At first, one hinge felt a bit stiff and the knife is on the heavy side, but after some use, it smoothed out. Once you get used to it, it works well for practice and looks sleek. Beginners might find the weight a bit much at first, but it's a solid choice for the price."

"As someone who practices Pencak Silat and Eskrima, I find this trainer to be fantastic for the price—it’s comfortable on the hands and partner-safe. The build quality is impressive for just $12, and it strikes a nice balance between sturdy and flexible. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a practical training tool."

"I’m a knife collector, not a martial artist, but I love how this trainer lets me safely experience karambit techniques. The construction is solid and the price is fair. I did notice the blade is a bit larger than expected, but it’s still a safe and affordable way to train without the risk of injury."

"This trainer is exactly what I hoped for and at a very reasonable price. Now I can practice without worrying about injuries, which is a huge relief. The quality exceeded my expectations—it’s way better than I thought it would be for under $15!"

"As someone with years of knife throwing experience, I really appreciate how easy these knives are to use—even for a novice. The balance and size are spot on, and they come razor sharp right out of the box. They’ve withstood some pretty rough treatment and only needed sharpening when hitting metal. Whether throwing underhand or overhand, they stick easily, and I definitely think they're worth the price for practice and skill-building."

"I'm just starting out with throwing knives, and I find these are excellent for beginners. I've thrown each at least 20 times and, despite hitting hard surfaces, the edges are still sharp. They’re durable, but you should be careful—even a bounce-back can cut you."

"The knives arrived quickly and matched the description perfectly. They’re sharply machined, all weighing exactly the same, but I did receive only 11 instead of the advertised 12. Not a big issue for me since I’m new to the hobby. The case is serviceable, but I’ll probably upgrade if I stick with knife throwing."

"These were my very first throwing knives, and I was impressed by how quickly I picked up the basics. After hundreds (maybe thousands!) of throws, these knives have stayed durable and well balanced, giving me the confidence to move on to larger blades. They’re a great choice for anyone starting out, and I’m really happy with my purchase."

"I’ve owned a handful of more expensive throwing knives, but I decided to try these because of the price. Although they’re a bit lighter than my other sets, the sharpness and balance make up for it, and I’ve actually found them to be very effective for throwing. They even work in the kitchen! For the price, you really can’t go wrong."

"I’ve had these knives for over a month and have used them a lot. They’re honestly fun to throw, and it was easier to improve my form with these compared to my previous set. Sharpening is a breeze, and they’ve held up better than pricier knives I’ve tried. I’ll definitely buy more in the future!"
