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. 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. 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. 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.
