Description

Cold Steel Jack Dagger Throwing Knife 80TJDZ

The Cold Steel Jack Dagger Throwing Knife is a large, Bowie-style throwing and utility knife developed to the specifications of professional knife thrower Jack Dagger. Its broad clip-point profile, substantial weight and one-piece 1050 high-carbon steel construction make it suitable for experienced users seeking a robust knife for controlled target-throwing practice and lawful outdoor utility work.

The knife measures approximately 35.6 cm overall, with an approximately 19.1 cm blade and a weight of approximately 450 g. Its wide blade and long handle provide a substantial, balanced format intended for repeatable practice on suitable throwing targets.

A single sharpened edge also allows the knife to perform general campsite and utility cutting tasks. Because it is a live sharpened blade rather than a blunt trainer, it must be handled, transported and stored with the same care as any large fixed-blade knife.

Designed with Jack Dagger

The knife is based on throwing blades used by Jack Dagger, a well-known professional knife thrower and instructor whose work has included live demonstrations, television appearances and training performers for screen roles.

Cold Steel developed this model around his preferred proportions, creating a large, broad throwing knife with the mass and shape required for controlled target practice.

Broad Clip-Point Bowie Profile

The Jack Dagger Throwing Knife features a wide clip-point Bowie-style blade. The broad blade gives the knife a distinctive profile and substantial presence, while the clipped point provides a defined tip for target penetration.

The approximately 19.1 cm blade is about 5 mm thick, contributing to the knife’s rigid and durable one-piece construction.

1050 High-Carbon Steel

The knife is made from 1050 high-carbon steel, a tough medium-carbon steel commonly used for impact-oriented blades and tools.

Its balance of toughness and sharpenability makes it suitable for a throwing knife that may also be used for general utility cutting. As 1050 is not stainless steel, regular cleaning, drying and light oiling are required to reduce the risk of corrosion.

One-Piece Construction

The blade and handle are formed from a single piece of steel. This simple construction eliminates folding joints and separate handle scales, creating a robust format suitable for repeated controlled use.

The long approximately 16.5 cm handle gives the user a generous gripping area for lawful target-throwing practice and general utility handling.

Sharpened Utility Edge

Unlike a blunt throwing trainer, the Jack Dagger Throwing Knife has a single sharpened edge. This allows it to perform practical cutting tasks such as cutting rope, cordage and suitable campsite materials.

The sharpened edge also increases the risk of injury during throwing, retrieval and handling. It must never be treated as a harmless practice tool.

Recommended Use

• Controlled target-throwing practice
• Purpose-built throwing ranges
• Competitive-style practice where regulations permit
• Outdoor and campsite utility cutting
• Cutting rope, cordage and suitable materials
• Collection and display
• Structured training under experienced supervision

Throwing must take place only where lawful, with a suitable target, effective backstop and completely clear safety zone. Never throw the knife towards people, animals, vehicles, buildings or unsuitable surfaces.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose the Cold Steel Jack Dagger Throwing Knife?

This model is designed for users who prefer a large, heavy and broad throwing knife rather than a compact lightweight thrower. Its 450 g weight and generous dimensions provide a substantial feel during controlled practice.

The one-piece 1050 steel construction offers durability, while the sharpened edge adds practical utility beyond target throwing. It is best suited to experienced and responsible users with access to a lawful, secure practice area.
