The Cold Steel CS80TEMPZ Templar Thrower delivers precision throwing performance with its 1050 high carbon steel construction and historically-inspired design. This 14-inch throwing knife combines medieval aesthetics with modern metallurgy for consistent flight characteristics and target penetration.
What Makes This Different
The Templar Thrower features a full-tang 1050 high carbon steel blade that maintains its edge through repeated impacts while offering superior balance for accurate throws. Unlike lighter aluminum or stainless steel throwers, the high carbon construction provides the weight distribution and durability needed for serious throwing practice. The blade geometry follows traditional Templar sword proportions, creating a distinctive profile that cuts through air resistance effectively.
