Cold Steel Mini Flight Sport Throwing Knife 80STK10 / 80STK10Z

The Cold Steel Mini Flight Sport is a compact sport throwing knife designed as an affordable entry into Cold Steel’s range of balanced steel throwers. Made from 1055 high-carbon steel and given a hard spring temper, it offers a durable one-piece construction suitable for controlled recreational target-throwing practice.

With an overall length of approximately 25.4 cm, a blade section measuring approximately 13.3 cm and a weight of approximately 181 g, the Mini Flight Sport is the smallest and lightest model in this sport-thrower format. Its reduced dimensions make it easy to transport and manageable for structured practice.

Although compact and accessible, it remains a steel throwing knife capable of causing serious injury. It must be used only in a lawful, secure and purpose-built environment with a suitable target and clear safety zone.

Compact Sport-Grade Design

The Mini Flight Sport was developed for users who prefer a smaller and lighter throwing knife. Its compact 25.4 cm format makes it convenient to carry and store while still retaining the simple proportions and balance expected from Cold Steel’s sport throwers.

The reduced size may be especially suitable for users beginning structured throwing practice or for experienced throwers who want a lighter training option.

1055 High-Carbon Steel

The knife is made from 1055 high-carbon steel, a tough material commonly used for impact-resistant blades and tools. Its moderate carbon content provides a practical balance of strength, toughness and resistance to brittle fracture.

Because 1055 is not stainless steel, the knife should be cleaned, dried and lightly oiled after use to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Hard Spring Temper

The Mini Flight Sport uses a hard spring temper similar to that applied to Cold Steel’s larger sport and premium throwing knives. This heat treatment is intended to provide resilience and help the steel tolerate repeated impact during normal target-throwing use.

No throwing knife is indestructible. Repeated misses, edge impacts, unsuitable targets or contact with hard surfaces may bend, chip or damage the knife.

One-Piece Construction

The blade and handle are formed from one continuous piece of steel. This simple construction eliminates folding mechanisms, separate handle scales and other components that could loosen during repeated use.

The approximately 12.1 cm handle section provides a substantial gripping area despite the knife’s compact overall size.

Recommended Use

• Controlled target-throwing practice
• Beginner and intermediate instruction
• Recreational knife-throwing sessions
• Purpose-built throwing ranges
• Skill-development exercises
• Competition-style practice where permitted
• Collection and display

This product should be used only with a suitable wooden target, effective backstop and completely clear safety zone. It must never be thrown towards people, animals, vehicles, buildings or unsuitable surfaces.
