The Cold Steel Templar X Throwing Knife delivers precision-balanced performance with its 1065 carbon steel construction and 14-inch overall length. This tactical throwing knife combines medieval aesthetics with modern metallurgy for consistent rotation and penetration. Professional throwers and tactical enthusiasts rely on its weight distribution and blade geometry for accurate throws at varying distances.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard throwing knives that use softer steels, the Templar X features 1065 carbon steel hardened to optimal specifications for throwing applications. The blade maintains its edge through repeated impacts while the full-tang construction eliminates weak points common in welded designs. The 14-inch length provides superior leverage and rotation control compared to shorter throwing implements, resulting in more predictable flight patterns.
Key Features
- 1065 carbon steel blade with differential hardening for impact resistance
- 14-inch overall length optimized for standard throwing distances
- Full-tang construction eliminates handle separation failures
- Templar cross-guard design provides multiple grip options
- Black finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance
- Balanced weight distribution for consistent rotation timing
- Sharp point geometry penetrates various target materials
Field testing demonstrates reliable performance across 10-15 foot throwing ranges with consistent stick rates when proper technique is applied. The carbon steel composition allows for field sharpening using standard tools, maintaining functionality during extended training sessions. Target penetration remains consistent through hundreds of throws, with the blade geometry designed to minimize deflection off hard surfaces.
