Mountain Man Throwing Knives, Pre-1850s Period Designs

Crazy Crow Trading Post's mountain man style, throwing knives are tempered and ready for throwing. These full size throwing knives vary in length from 9 to 14 inches long and have secure leather grips that can be replaced when worn or damaged. The balance of a good throwing knife is at a point near the center to avoid irregular rotation. These knives are designed primarily for throwing and are great for both beginners and experienced competition throwers alike. Our "Steel Mistress" and "Rendezvous Throwing Knives" are from a design developed by Harry McEvoy, author of "Knife & Tomahawk Throwing".
