Customer Reviews: United Cutlery 7.25" 3 Knife Lightning Bolt Throwing Knife Set with Shoulder Harness

Average Customer Review:

  Pfymnet N. from Boston, MA

The Shoulder holster is a bit clumsy and it was shipped to be hung upside down. The knives wouldn't stay in the holster that way and would fall out nearly taking out a toe. The knives themselves were great. This is my first set but they were balanced good and worked great.

  Gary K. from San Diego, CA

Knives were ok, not very sharp, balanced well. The harness stinks, just get the blades seperate and use your own sheaths, the company was fine all delivery and orders were a breeze. I would use this site again and will in the future.

  Randy S. from Bakersfield, CA

It's a nice little throwing set for the money. I use it on my hiking trips as a way to pass the time around the camp fire. The knives have a good weight to them and the harness gives you a good way to sort them.

  J. R. from Dallas, TX

This is surprisingly good little set of throwers for the money. They balance well and are fun to fool around with. The sheath is the only disappointment. It comes with everything necessary to change where you wear it, I prefer the thigh, but you'll end up doing some modificatons to it on your own to make it hold the knives properly.

  Colten B. from Oak Harber, WA

These knives are of poor quality especially the sholder harness. The sholder harness does not even hold the knives in securly.

  Robert S. from Amarillo, TX

The throwing knives are doing just fine. My boys are having a good time learning the art of knive throwing !

  Patrick H. from Higley, AZ

Received this item in good condition and on time.

  Travis S. from Rochester, NY

Like every UC product I own the knives are very well made. Their throwers are all very well balanced. These knives are small but unlike many throwing knives of this size they have a bit of weight to them which makes them great throwers especially for 1/2 rotation throws and short range wrist snaps.

  Abiel A. from Richmond , Canada

Very nice knife.

  Joseph S. from Fresno, CA

The throwing knives were gifts that were highly appreciated.

  Paul L. from Irving, TX

The knives are nice and semi-sharp at the points, but the plastic sheath leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend a better sheath with comparable knives if available.

  Tom A. from Des Moines, IA

The Lightning Bolt Throwing Knife Set. The set is sturdy and I like the balance but I'm just getting back into this after a three decades absense. Last time I did this the blades were bigger and I've got to figure out why many of the products are far smaller than I remember. The plastic sheaf is well-designed and easy to carry, but the sheaf material is not very rugged and it arrived broken at one of the strap slots junctures. For the price this set is great and I'm having fun with it.

  Brandon W. from Mosul, Iraq

The knives are great. The sheath is a good design but poorly made.

  Daniel H. from Springhill, LA

i love this item

  Jason V. from Oklahoma City,OK

They delivered my knives in a very timely manner, and I enjoy them very much. They were exactly what I wanted.

  Justin M. from Bullfrog, UT

Excellent balance in these knives. The sheath is also great for a shoulder holster or on the belt. These are by far the best set of throwing knives that I have had yet.

  Cemal T. from North Cyprus, Famagusta

These knives are so cute, balanced, and a nice weight! Also the shoulder thingy is so nice because I had a hard time finding the right combination to put them on my shoulder. I bought 2 sets and they are perfect for the price. Peace... :)

  John T. from Louisiana

These knives are very strong. My brother accidentally through one of them at a rock and they didn't even break!

  Justin S. from Los Angeles, CA

This product is awesome! The knives are holding up extremely well. I have been throwing non stop with friends and the knives have been through a lot of beginner torture. All they show for it is a few dings from hitting cement. They have not bent or gotten dull yet! This was a very good buy!

  Mark H. from New Hampshire

The knives are fine! A little on the light side for my taste, but they will stick fine with a good throw and a medium hard throw. So far, very durable.

  Andrei P. from Chishinau ,moldova

First impression was good :well balanced , nice design and (not the best but) pretty good quality materials. the harness doesn't stay as good as it should but still seems to be handy. Perfect weight and balance for a novice to start practicing , that is why i still consider this purchase a worthy one!!! After a couple of hours spent on throwing this knifes the blades don't look so nice and shiny but this isn't such a big deal, after all...- THESE ARE THROWING KNIFES !!! and they are supposed to look like this after you throw them :)

  Blake L. from Phoenix, AZ

I love the knives, but it did not come with instructions for the shoulder harness. This one has me confused. It's completely adjustable but I can't seem to figure it out.

  Sahand M. from Dallas, TX

These are excellent knives. It has a good weight and feel to them, and are just fun to throw. Also a great deal for the price. Didn't care too much for the case, but it looks cool if you can find out how to use it.

  John D. from Erie, PA

The knives are great, but the case sucks.

  Jonathan L. from San Diego, CA

The knives are pretty good. The sheath/harness aren't very good. The knives fall out of it too easily.

  Quinten C. from Midland, TX

They've worked great for me and I will order from this website more often.

  A K M. from Springfield, MO

This is a great item and I love the shoulder rig that holds all three knives!

  John E. from Houston, TX

Good quality. My son received them for Christmas and could not believe the quality.

  Richard D. from Eldorado, AR

I really like the product your site had to offer.

  James B. from Los Angeles, CA

The items, 7.25" Lightning Bolt throwing Knife Set, is an awesome product. We are enjoying them and they have great balance for throwing. It did take us a couple of tries to get the shoulder harness down.

  Jenn G. from Fulton, NY

I have no idea what my man thinks of the knives! I was excited to get them but has nothing to throw them at..ummm..yeah you should do yourselves a favor and your customers and have had some board to use with them advertised in same area while ordering from your website..if he knew if he liked them he just may order some more people!

  Elite S. from Raton, NM

We purchased this item for a customer as a Christmas gift for his son. Both the customer and his son were delighted. The service was prompt as was the delivery of the item.

  William M. from Springfield, MO

This is a great set of knives! I really like the shoulder rig also. It places the knives right where you need them & it is not made of lightweight nylon.

  Luis R. from Mcallen, TX

The knives are excellent and they work good. They lack sharpness. I had a hard time figuring out how to put on the shoulder harness, but over all it is a good product!

  Paul S. from Elkhart, IN

Your website is the easy way to get what you want. I can't say enough about your service. If you want to buy quality products in a short period of time. Stop right here!

  Scott W. from Cowley ,WY

  Shannon E. from Oklahoma City, OK

These are solid knives. They were a gift and she loves them.

  Clarica K. from Celina, TX

  Michael D. from Angleton, TX

It is a very nice set of knives,very fast shipping and a great price!

  Alexander L. from Ceres, CA

The knives are great and are just what I wanted! Thank you very much!

  Jack W. from Jbb, Iraq

The knives were well balanced, weight felt good, and harness was durable. I liked them enough to order a second set.

  Jason B. from Hickory, NC

I was very happy with my order!

  Gino R. from Ft.lauderdale, FL

I bought these knives a couple of weeks ago and at first sight they looked awesome! I almost didn't want to use them because they looked so nice. The first time I used them It was a bit awkward because I was expecting them to be a bit longer and heavier. After I got used to them they were good. The tip seems to be a bit fragile, I've already broken two out of three, when you try and get the tip again(with a soft grinder) It just unbalances the whole thing and they are just shanks after that. Overall, good knives.

  Ricky S. from Destin, FL

These are great knives! I stick them over & over and the awesome feeling of accomplishment will overwhelm you again & again. Have fun! I do!

  Robert T. from Santa Ana, CA

I gave this set to my son, a first time thrower, and he loves them. It is very well balanced and top quality!

  Melissa H. from Kansas City, KS

It is a very nice gift! I am the envy of all the other birthday gift givers. :)

  Andy A. from Bennington, VT

These are great little knives, well balanced and pretty rugged. They are exactly what I thought they would be!

  Alan M. from Geneseo, NY

I love the knives! My only issues is that the holster did not come with any directions on how to size it, and the diagram was somewhat vague. This is a great product otherwise!

  Cool N. from Austin, TX

These are excellent knives! It feels great in your hands!

  Steve M. from Virginia

It is not as easy to balance as some knives.

  Zachary K. from Cincinnati, OH

I was very pleased with the overall quality and sharpness of the blades, durability of the sheath, and ease of taking the sheath on and off. The only problem I had with this purchase was taking the blades out of the sheath. One blade falls out when just turned upside down and another hardly comes out at all. The last one is perfect though. If you get a good sheath, this is a perfect 5 star buy for any knife thrower.

  David B. from Vancouver BC Canada

I was pleased with the quality of the item and the help I received in tracking the order.

  Jim H. from Sterling, IL

The knives appeared to be of high quality and well manufactured. I bought them as a gift for a friend so I only looked at them briefly. I was disappointed in the length of the knives. I will only buy knives in the future when I know the length.

  Len T. from Joshua, TX

The knives were what I expected. It's taking a while to learn how to throw, but I'm getting better.

  James B. from Danbury, CT

I ordered this knife set for my brother who is a beginner to knife throwing. They are nicely balanced, durable, and very easy to throw. My brother was able to stick all three after only a couple of throws. I used them once and liked them so much I plan to by a set for myself.

  John K. from Sebastian, FL

I am very happy with them!

  Dr. Kelvin L. from Bolingbrook, IL

The lightening bolt triple set is the number 1 top quality throwing knives with great balance! The only cons: it is not very sharp....

  Stephen R. from Palmer, MA

These are great throwers but a little on the less rugged side but they are pretty good overall!

  Craig F. from Arnold, NE

These are solid knives, okay balance, and the sheath is okay. Good price for the product!

  Ray K. from Locust Valley, NY

Speedy delivery. It's great that the knives come with a harness. These are quality knives excellent for beginners and advanced knife throwers!

  Dee C. from Thunder Bay, Canada

These are great knives and they are very well balanced! A little hard to sharpen but the metal is strong and has very strong tips. I got a great deal on them!

  Pat M. from Syracuse, NY

These are nice knives! They come with a pretty cool sheath. They are well weighted and very consistent once you get used to them. These knives are well made for 20 bucks but I wouldn't pay much more than that for them.

  Kevin S. from Warren,OH

This is a good price and nice knives! The holster is rather cheap and hard to figure out how it is put together. No directions for the holster. The knives on the other hand stick great. The shipping was fast.

  Adam B. from Michigan

These knives rock! Solid stainless steel design is really meant for a beating. After throwing these for about a month, I'm surprised that it only takes a little cleaning for them to shine like new again! The harness is pretty neat, though I found the knives slipped out a bit too easy for my tastes (watch your toes!). All in all, an excellent set of knives and HIGHLY recommended for anybody looking for a good set of throwing knives to learn the sport with!

  Steve C. from Millville, NJ

The knives are perfect for my competitive knife throwing and my issue is not with the knives. The shoulder harness, however, is not functional. Once again, the knives are perfect and I am very pleased with the product.
