The Cold Steel CS80SSXL Battle Star delivers precision throwing performance with its professionally balanced design and heat-treated 1055 carbon steel construction. This tactical throwing star combines traditional craftsmanship with modern metallurgy for consistent accuracy and penetration.
What Makes This Different
Unlike mass-produced throwing stars that bend or break after minimal use, the CS80SSXL features differential heat treatment that creates a hard edge while maintaining a flexible core. The 1055 carbon steel composition provides superior edge retention compared to standard mild steel alternatives. Each point maintains its sharpness through hundreds of throws, while the center hub absorbs impact stress to prevent cracking.Key Features
