Model: CS80STMA • UPC: 705442020011
Small, sleek, and built to stick—the Cold Steel Black Fly Thrower is a compact throwing knife crafted from a single piece of 1055 high carbon steel with a durable black finish. Designed for fast rotation and clean releases, the Black Fly delivers repeatable performance for backyard practice, club nights, and competition warm-ups. Its minimalist, all-steel construction shrugs off hours of target work while the tapered spear-style profile drives in with authority.
Why Throwers Choose the Black Fly
One-Piece 1055 Carbon Steel: Tough, impact-resistant steel handles repeated target strikes and rough boards without giving up its geometry.
Streamlined Spear-Style Profile: Symmetric, plain-edged design promotes stable flight and consistent point-first impacts.
Low-Glare Black Finish: Helps resist corrosion and surface wear while keeping reflections down for focus on form.
Compact & Quick: Small footprint rewards clean mechanics—great for refining release timing at half- and full-spin distances.
No-Frills Durability: No handle scales, no hardware—just solid steel for training, travel, and high-volume sessions.

Built for Consistency
The Black Fly’s balanced mass and smooth release surfaces support predictable rotation so you can lock in distances and rhythm. The slim profile glides out of the hand with minimal drag, translating your grip, stance, and follow-through directly to the board. Whether you’re dialing a new distance or chasing tighter groups, the Black Fly rewards good fundamentals.
Handling & Flight Characteristics
Predictable Rotation: Symmetrical design stabilizes in air for reliable half-, one-, and one-and-a-half-spin throws.
Clean Release: Rounded transition points help prevent finger snagging and errant yaw.
Confidence at the Line: Compact size encourages repeatable mechanics and controlled tempo.
Where It Excels
Backyard Targets: Build muscle memory on end-grain or foam targets.
League Practice: Durable enough for nightly sessions; consistent flight for score-focused drills.
Travel-Friendly Training: Slim, all-steel thrower packs easily in a range bag (follow local transport rules).
Care & Maintenance
Wipe Down After Sessions: Remove resin, dust, and moisture; dry thoroughly.
Light Oil Film: A thin coat on edges and flats helps prevent rust, especially in humid conditions.
Tip Touch-Ups: Dress the point with a fine file/stone if it mushrooms after heavy use.
Target Choice: Use appropriate soft-wood or end-grain targets to reduce bounce-outs and preserve the tip.
Safety & Responsible Use
Throw only at proper targets in a clear, controlled environment with a safe backstop.
Maintain a safe perimeter; never throw while anyone is downrange.
Wear closed-toe shoes and eye protection.
Know your local laws regarding ownership, transport, and public use of throwing knives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Black Fly good for beginners?
A: Yes. Its compact, balanced design helps new throwers develop consistent release and rotation while being rugged enough for frequent practice.
Q: Does it come sharpened?
A: The Black Fly is a plain-edge thrower optimized for sticking points rather than a slicing edge. Many throwers keep a utility point—not razor—so it survives impacts.
Q: What distance should I start at?
A: Begin close (often ~8–12 feet for half-spin), then step back in small increments to fine-tune your rotation and timing.
