Is this knife handle heavy, blade heavy, or balanced?

This throwing knife is realy fun for beginners. It has hit the cement lots of time and has not broken. . Very very fun....

i checked from the center of the knives' overall length and found that when balanced at that point the throwers each fell toward the handle meaning the design is HANDLE HEAVY. after repeat testing i found the balance point to be between 1/8th and 1/4 inch closer to the handle side than blade side. the uneven distribution of weight and the non-traditional shape means the knife behaves a little differently than the typical thrower but it is easy to get used to and in my opinion gives them unique character, which is fun.

To me its got the feel of a butterfly knife, and it looks like a stiletto knife, and with the little piece it opens almost the same speed like a switchblade I think. I really like it but is the blade suppose to have a wobble in it if not then I need to get it fixed.

Yes. I have fairly hefty knives with large wooden handles and it has never topped over. Could be because it is well balanced.

I'm not real sure how thick the blade is at its thickest, but the blade is hefty enough to do most camp chores. I believer the knife weighs in at just under a pound 14.5-15oz. Heavy enough, but not to heavy, holds the edge well, wouldn't be afraid to really get into it with this blade if the SHTF.

The handels feel more like a carbon composite. They are not light-weight or cheap feeling. The knives I have by Henckels have the same composite type handle.

It's a pretty light knife. I'd say look into another brand/model for a heavier knife. Higher price-point too, I suspect.

Mine is very secure and would carry the knife upside down. The knife does rattle somewhat, however.

Iodinate know, handles very well, its heavy but I can't tell if its steel. Its like a strong carbon fibre handle.

It weighs a tad over a pound. But if you have trouble gripping knives this would be ideal. You don't have to keep lifting it, just rock it over what you are chopping. Sharp and effective.

Yes, it is heavy, that said, I really enjoy the way the pan cooks. I'm 80 and can still manage it with the handle and the opposite side small handle.

That would be a good approximation. This is a very substantial knife yet it balances well.

It's heavy compared to stamped knives (like the cheap ones you can get at a grocery store), but not heavy compared to other forged ones (like Wussthof or some of the nicer grocery store ones). Also, it takes so much less force to cut through stuff, it's really not a hindrance at all. Especially because it's very well balanced. I like the weight quite a lot.

The blade is thick, this knife is real heavy duty, I was afraid it would be cheap or just chinssy, I was wrong! I wear as a neck knife but it is a little heavy, I am a larger man and it is ok, weight wise. I definitely recommend it.

Hey sorry for the late reply. It's a half serrated stainless steel blade. Handle is high quality material. Not sure bout the handle but it has done weight to it. Hope that helps answer your question

It is heavy - heavier than two prior sets of flatware and unfortunately the handles are too heavy. Some reviewers say they are well balanced. I find them to be oddly balanced and very annoying. See my 3 star review "Catmom"

It is a nice Knife, heavy enough to do any cutting task, not terribly bulky or heavy either, the clip on mine is extremely snug when in my jeans almost to the point of hard to get out which is good so I don't have to worry about loosing it. On the other hand it is a bit hard to get out on the fly, but I your adrenaline is pumping you probably wouldn't even notice. It flips open and locks with authority and mine was razor sharp out of the box. Hope this was helpful.

I'm Novice at knife throwing. I've found that the center of blance is very near the edge of the para cord. However when held by the handle you feel a solid grip. I use a no spin throw and find the knive leaves the hand very smoothly with no drag on the handle as it leaves the hand as I would expect if the knife were handle heavy.
