Three Knives, Three Colors, One Good Starting Set
Having three throwing knives means you can work on your throwing cadence — throw all three, walk to the target, pull them out, repeat — without breaking your rhythm to retrieve after every single throw. That’s a more natural way to practice, and it’s one of the reasons a three-knife set works better for building skill than starting with just one or two.
The three-color format is a practical touch. If you’re throwing with a friend or at a shared range, the different colors keep things sorted without needing to mark your blades. Small detail, genuinely useful.
Who These Throwing Knives Are For
Beginners who want to start practicing without making a big purchase. Three knives for under $16 is about as low a barrier to entry as you’ll find with actual steel throwing knives. If you’re not sure whether knife throwing is going to stick as a hobby, this is a sensible way to find out.
The 6.5-inch length suits shorter throwing distances — around 7–10 feet — which is a good place to start when learning rotation. Shorter knives at shorter distances means faster feedback on your technique without a long walk to the target every time.
Anyone practicing in a smaller space — a garage, a basement with a proper backstop — will find the shorter length more practical than a 9-inch knife. It’s also a good set for kids learning to throw under adult supervision, where a smaller blade is more appropriate.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this throwing knife set if you want:
- Three knives so you can throw in a sequence without constant retrieval
- A shorter length for closer-distance practice or smaller spaces
- Different colors to distinguish knives at the target
- A budget-friendly entry point to the hobby
Consider something else if you need:
- Longer-distance throwing — the 2-piece 9-inch set works better for standard 10–15 foot distances
- Precision competition specs — these are practice knives, not competition grade
How It Actually Works
Like the 9-inch set, these are full-blade throwing knives with no separate handle. The entire knife is one piece of 440 stainless steel — consistent weight distribution from tip to tail means predictable rotation. At 6.5 inches, they’re sized for shorter throwing distances where one rotation is completed in less space.
440 stainless steel handles repeated target impact well. It won’t chip or crack easily, and it resists the rust that happens when blades sit in a garage between practice sessions. The finish on black, blue, and red stays reasonably well with normal use.
The nylon sheath pouch fits all three knives and keeps the points protected. It’s basic, but it does the job of keeping the set organized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the three different colors useful?
When you’re throwing with someone else at the same target, colors make it immediately obvious whose knives are whose when you walk up to retrieve. You don’t need to crouch down and read a marking or try to remember which end had the nick. It’s a small convenience that ends up mattering more than you’d expect once you’re actually out there throwing.
How does the 6.5-inch length compare to longer throwing knives?
Shorter knives complete rotation faster, which means you throw from a shorter distance. A 6.5-inch knife typically sticks best at around 7–10 feet, while a 9-inch knife wants 10–15 feet. If you have a smaller practice space, the shorter knives are a practical fit. If you have room to step back, the longer knives give you more time to develop proper form. Neither is better — they just suit different situations.
Are these safe for a beginner to use?
Knife throwing is a skill that requires proper safety habits — clear range, good backstop, nobody walking behind you while throwing. The knives themselves are well-made and not unusually sharp for throwing purposes. Beginners should start with good safety fundamentals: throw solo when learning, stand a safe distance from the target, and keep bystanders behind you and well clear. The knives are appropriate for beginners; the practice habits are what determine safety.
Do all three knives weigh the same?
They’re the same design in three different colors, so the weight is consistent across the set. Having matched weight across all three knives means your throw should behave the same with any of them — you’re not compensating for a heavier or lighter blade between throws. That consistency is worth more than it might sound when you’re trying to build repeatable technique.
