Assassins Creed Brotherhood Dozen Throwing Knives

I've used these knives for just under three hours and I'm already in love. They came a day early, so that made me super happy. The case is well made and plain but fitting. The points of the knives get stuck in the case on the way in sometimes, but no biggie. The knives themselves are well made, fairly balanced. and easy to throw. The black lines, which look like they've been painted on with paint that is meant for plastic, rub off and chip quite easily, but that's an easy fix. But back to the knives. The edges are not super sharp; you won't accidentally cut yourself, but be cautious of the tip. I don't recommend sharpening these unless they get super dull, since they seem fine now. I used a pizza box as a target when throwing these, and it looks like they could take a few harder targets, since they got halfway through on my best throws (I don't have a very good throwing arm, btw), and managed to stick in a medium wood board without damage. For the people who need a more visual scale for these knives, they're a bit longer than a standard crayola marker, but about an inch shorter than a standard wooden pencil. Both the blade and the handle are thin enough so that if you fold your hands with a knife in between them it is impossible to notice. These really are some of the smaller throwing knives around, but true to their title in that regard as I would rather have some of these lighter, smaller knives if I'm going to be taking out rooftop guards than the big ones., which brings me to my final evaluation: the Assassin's Creed aspect. To be perfectly honest, I can totally see Altair or Ezio killing someone with these babies.Overall: 5 starsShipping: Fast, totally worth whatever you'll be paying.Seller: Cool dude(ttes?)s, included a coupon for 5% off future purchases and asked for feedback. Definitely buying from them sometime soon.Packaging: Simple cardstock around the case, bubble wrap lined USPS flat rate envelope. Looks like a small, thin book before it's opened.Case: Perfect, not gonna fall apart anytime soon. bit of a snaggy tips problem, but that is a minor slowdown. Totally not buggin' me.Knives: Excellent for this quantity in this price. Nicely made. Except for the cheap ass paint. But that's not a huge problem.Cosplay value: Excellent. A million times better than that crappy plastic Ubisoft sells for the same price. Only need minimal work (again, that PAINT).Actual throwing value: Good for anyone starting out. They do need some getting used to if you use huge ass knives.I hope this provides the wanted information. I'll post some pics of them, because the stock photos don't do them any justice.

I was really suprised to get them a couple days before I was supposed to. The only bummer about them is the design is drawn in with a sharpie or paint, they come off real easy. Other than that, for the price they are pretty nice.

Got here in a timely manner. Having a lot of fun with my throwing knives. I have thrown them a few times and none of them have broken or bent. Hope to do more business with you in the future.

No real complaints. Good value, prompt shipping. If I was to comment constructively, I must say that this is an excellent set for someone whom wishes to get started. You need to be aware that you can lose the knives when they miss the target. I bought 1/2" x 6' x 6" cedar fence material, placed six side by side, and secured them in the back with a cross piece, and then put my paper targets on the wood. The surface you throw into is important. Not every material is as enjoyable as is a soft wood -pine etc. These knives are small and so you may wish to go with a bigger set in the future. I plan to buy another set soon. The plus side of the smaller knives is that you can put all twelve of them on an 8x10 target. I have a template and get copies (card stock) at the copy store. It is a lot of fun, and perfect for sitting around with the guys drinking beer. We can literally throw 500 times in one night.

Fun for the guys and the girls...

received as expected, works as described. perfectly balanced

Like the design and weight. Small size. I like the feel but aside from the fact that they look nice, these were not a great choice for me. I prefer bigger knives.

I think the design looks dorky. I guess if you are an Assassin's Creed fan, it's cool. I'm not, so...The blades are sharpened. The knives are relatively small but still weighted okay for their size. I guess it makes it more carry-able. Still throwable-feeling.Good for beginners who don't want a strickly "beginner's" item. Like, they are functional, but low-costing and so disposable, so they can go through a legion of practice rounds so you can learn on them. I don't imagine they would be destroyed, though, being a decent enough metal to get resharpened a number of times.Deducting a star for design, and also quality is 4 out of 5 for price.
