It’s Fun and Easy to Throw (always wear eye protection) Heavy and perfectly balanced, the Torpedo is a lot of fun for target throwing because it’s an easy throw from almost any distance. The double tapered points slide effortlessly from the hand for a perfect release and offer twice the sticking potential of a conventional throwing knife. What’s more, the heavy 2 lb. weight lets you stand way back from the target (20 yards or more) and really “lob them in there” with surprising force. Hunting and Survival When thrown with skill, the Torpedo delivers enough raw power and lethal penetration to cleanly dispatch animals up to coyote size. Just look at all the advantages it offers for hunting and survival situations. Double Points Two points offer twice the potential for sticking, making range estimation less critical. 2 lb. Weight Unlike its skinny, lightweight competitors, the Torpedo is made from cold rolled 1055 Carbon steel. It is zone heat treated to provide maximum resistance to breakage. The end result is a thrower that hits so hard it can pulverize a concrete block, even when striking on the flat. Extra Length At 15″, the Torpedo is one of the longest throwing knives we know of. Thrown hand over hand or side arm, it cuts a wide swath, dramatically increasing the chance of intercepting rising birds or fleeing small game. Silent Because the Torpedo can be thrown without noise, even a near miss often will not scare away the quarry or spook other game in the general vicinity. Limited Range Since the Torpedo can only be thrown within the limits of its user’s skill and strength it poses little danger to domesticated animals, and can serve admirably in areas where firearms usage is prohibited or too dangerous. Self Defense At close range, the Torpedo can stop even the most determined aggressor. Its two-pound weight alone makes it a formidable bone breaker if it should strike on the flat. And its double points offer lethal penetration. What’s more, the Torpedo can easily be used as a steel bludgeon or double pointed dagger. Overall: 15″ Thick: 1″ Weight: 32 oz.

Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Superblades has been a retailer of Cold steel’s for over 15 years now and we are convinced they are among the best knives and swords in the world.
Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton® handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III® and Tri-Ad™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad™ Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it.
We have tested the Tri-Ad lock here as well and found it to be second to none in strength and durability.
Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years. We here at Superblades will always continue to support and represent Cold Steel as a premium brand.
