These knives are exactly what they should be. you just need to know a little bit about what they should be.
Important things to note about Throwing Knives in general:
-the black paint stuff will get chipped no matter what
-the wrapping on almost any knife will come off after a little use
-the hole on the end is not for your finger, so if it looks small, thats ok. (If you don't know what the hole is for, I explain at the end)
-after a while of being throne at wood targets or other hard material the tip can bend. you can fix this with pliers just fine, although it will wear out
Why the hole if I cant fit my finger through it?
the hole is there so that you can add a string, cloth or tassel to the end. the tassel creates drag which makes the knife rotate less and is more accurate and easy to throw. I recommend taking the string off the handle and braiding (or cording) it onto the end of the knife. this keeps the weight right and removes the need to buy more stuff. also the string will fall off any way, so this is a nice approach, also the knives will fit in the bag much better. some people hate the way this feels for throwing though
The metal part of the knife;
Pros:
-sturdy (stainless steel)
-sharp at the tip
-not sharp anywhere else (this is a good thing)
Cons:
-Shorter than they look because of the loop at the end (not a bad thing, just something to be aware of)
The Wrappings:
Pros:
-look pretty fancy
-are of decent quality
-add to the weight of knife making them balanced better
Cons:
-comes off after a short amount of time
The Bag:
Pros:
-is sturdy (enough for the required task)
-looks good
-has belt loop
-has velcro strap
Cons:
-when the knives are wrapped they don't fit that well (but still fit)
-velcro is a tad shoddy
