Cold Steel 80STRB Pro Balance Sport Knife

I put it to my belt sander and beveled the blade all the way back and sharpens it, I carry it in my bug out bag, if needed I can remove the handle slabs and make a spear out of it

Ok I have had these for 2 weeks and they throw good for rotational or no spin. This is probably not the Ideal knife to start no spin with but you can do it. So people might say that its not sharp enough, Well throwing knives should not be sharp the only thing that matters is the tip. And this knife is durable! I have hit it, scratched it, so I would say to wrap the handles with duct tap to keep them a little longer because if you are throwing more than one knife you will Robin Hood you're knives.. The only reason I put 4 stars is because I haven't had them long enough to see any problems but it's Cold Steel so I dont think there will be any. I'm pretty new to no spin knife throwing but here is a link to a video of me throwing my knifes..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OD9ZCkGYn8

My knife came in the mail today, little sooner then expected. Unfortunately upon opening the the package I was very disapointed in the quality of the knife. Apparently Cold Steel missed this in their quality control being that it was so bad I took it for a counterfeit at first with how bad the grinding was on the edge and on the outline itself. After contacting the company I bought it from and sent pictures of the knife they offered to either exchange it or discount the knife which I opted to do. Really not happy with how it came but can be fixed with some file work. I love cold steel knives and have owned many over the years and this is the first real issue I've had.

This is the first review I'm doing about a knife I bought this is the second knife I bought and it is what I imagined it whould be in so happy thank you

Some say they are a bit light but I like them! Came quite sharp and ready to throw out of the box. It took a bit of practice on my part to adapt to the shape but Cold Steel seems to have fixed the blade heavy design of the original Pro Balance Knives with this offering. That makes them easier to throw. Certainly look nice and are easy to maintain.

Upon opening the package I was disappointed with the overall quality of the knife. I had ordered this knife by mistake not realizing the it was the Pro Thrower Sport, but I figured for $11.04 i would add it to my collection. I already had a CS Pro Thrower and the Pro Thrower Sport pales in comparison. The blade is nearly half the thickness of the Pro Thrower and the fit of the handle is very poor. The blade has a very rough edge that that needs work with a file or belt sander. I have been throwing knives for a while and do not believe that this blade would stand up under repeated throws for very long. It may be a decent thrower for the money but I believe that a lot of people are going to mistake this knife for it's much better made older brother due to the similarity in names and are going to be as disappointed as I am. This one is going back

First I have to say that for the price I paid they are definitely worth it! I have used and abused these knives and they still throwing like champs, and the handles are still intact! Worth every penny

Bent tips, but nice throwers after some fixes. None of them have broken.

I bought a few of these Pro Balance Sport knifes and a few of the Pro Balance ThrowersA very noticeable difference & users choice if your throwing a distance or close target or with me Its what ever you feel comfortable withI bought them all over a year ago & seem to always grab these little knifes ,The tips sharpened up perfect & I have not bent or broken any of these yet, YET :)

I love this knife! It can easily be thrown with the spin or no-spin technique, has great balance, very well made, durable and not to heavy. The only drawback is that the black coating wears off the tip rather quickly and it should come with a sheath. Best pro grade thrower for the price!
