2.0 out of 5 stars Good and the Bad
Though these have Hibben's name on them, they are not made well...sorta.
The blade is good and well balanced, they throw great. However, the Cord on all three unraveled after only 30 min of throwing.
Hard to believe this happened.
Not recommenced!
I would, if you like these, buy the ones without the cords.

That should clear up why this designer is the best all-around for throwing knives, among other types of blades.

For this particular item:
The "large" size of this set will be most comfortable for adult males with large hands.
Single-edged makes it easier for beginners to do a blade throw (as opposed to grip; buy "Gil Hibben Knife Throwing Guide" if you are just starting up)
Three blades makes practice easier by having more throws before having to go retrieve your blades (and don't worry, these knives won't snap in half as easily if they hit another knife on the target)
The nylon chord grip makes them a little more confortable were you to use them as conventional knives as well, but these will unravel on the first throw.
The sheath is rather inefficient. It takes some stretching to properly fit all 3 knives and even then does not fit them as well as one would think. But at least it stores them together

The cords fall off pretty fast but the knives are solid. Decent for their intended use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Looking Good until you open your eyes, December 29, 2011

This review is from: Gil Hibben Corded Grip Thrower Triple Knife Set (Sports)
First impressions are good in this case. Individually the blades look good but when held together one must question if the 3 blades were selected by a blind man such are the differences between them. How one can expect a consistent response from 3 such different profiled and balanced knives defies belief. Another legendary company gone to rubbish. Shame Gil, Shame

These are heavy and a good throwing knife. Hibbons makes some very decent stuff. As with any thrower, the cord wont last long.
