Three Knives Means More Throwing, Less Walking
Here’s the thing about throwing knives — half the time you spend “practicing” is actually walking back and forth to the target. A 3-piece set lets you throw three times before you retrieve, which means you get more practice in less time. This set comes in black, blue, and red, which has a practical benefit beyond looking cool — you can tell which throws are yours when you’re practicing with someone else.
Who This Throwing Knife Set Is For
This is for the person who wants a proper practice set without going overboard. You’re a beginner who wants enough knives to actually develop a rhythm. You’re buying a gift for someone who’s interested in blade sports. You want a shorter, faster-throwing knife compared to the bigger 9-inch sets. The 6.5-inch length makes these more approachable for new throwers and better suited for closer-range targets.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the 3-Piece Assorted set if you want:
- More knives per session before walking to the target
- Shorter, lighter knives for closer-range throwing
- Color-coded knives for tracking your throws
Consider something else if you need:
- Longer, heavier knives for distance throwing (check the 9-inch BioHazard set)
- Utility knives — throwing knives are purpose-built for throwing, not everyday cutting
Shorter Knives, Different Throwing Style
At 6.5 inches, these are noticeably shorter and lighter than 9-inch throwing knives. That changes the throwing dynamic. Shorter knives rotate faster, which means you need to be closer to the target or adjust your technique for the quicker spin. For beginners, closer-range practice is actually easier to learn with because you’re getting faster feedback on your form. For intermediate throwers, shorter knives add a different challenge to keep things interesting.
The 440 stainless steel is the same durable grade used in the BioHazard set. It handles the repeated impact of throwing without bending or chipping. Total weight for all three knives is 0.85 lbs, so each individual knife is lighter than the 9-inch models — that’s by design, not a shortcut. The nylon sheath holds all three knives securely for storage and transport.

Three knives, three colors, one target — build your technique with less downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are shorter throwing knives easier for beginners?
They can be. Shorter knives let you practice at closer range, which means faster feedback on your technique. The trade-off is that they rotate more quickly, so your release timing matters more. Start at 6-8 feet and find your rhythm from there.
Why do the colors matter?
If you’re throwing with friends or tracking your progress, different colors let you identify whose knife is whose and which throw went where. It also just makes the set more fun to use — let’s be honest, that matters.
Will these stick in a standard dartboard?
No. Dartboards are too hard and dense for throwing knives. Use a proper throwing target — a soft wood round, a commercial throwing target, or an end-grain wood block. Anything too hard will damage the knives and potentially send them bouncing back.
