Luke LaFontaine is a long-time member of our Cold Steel crew. Known primarily for his expertise in Japanese Sword Arts, he is also a highly knowledgeable Western Swordsman, historical fencer and amateur historian. As an actor, stuntman and weapons expert for the big screen, Luke has perfected a wide range of combative skills, including knife throwing. Combining his love of historical weaponry, with his passion for “sword and sandals” action adventure movies, Luke has designed an eye catching and fun knife that will serve multiple roles. The LaFontaine Thrower is heavily curved, with a wide belly, sharp cutting edge and an acute tip, that’s accented by an unsharpened false edge. With an integral finger guard to stop your hand from sliding onto the sharp edge, and a tapered easy-release handle for throwing, the LaFontaine Thrower is a capable cutting and slashing blade as well as an excellent throwing knife. Specifications: Blade Length: 8″ Overall Length: 14″ Steel: 1050 High Carbon Weight: 14.4 oz Blade Thickness: 5mm Handle: 6
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.
