Shipping weight 0,17 kg??? One knife will weight about 50 grams! That's damn light for a throwing knife, even 7 inches long one - they will be thin, they will bend or break soon and they will not stick well, unless they will have a needle-like sharp points, which are dangerous... Stick with nails (pun intended)!

i had a set just like those, they bend and break really easily, and are too light.

well, I can only throw them at a small wooden board in my backyard on some occasions, but mostly they will be thrown at a cradboard box in my attic.  :-[

for cardboard boxes, butterknives work fabulously.
Other fun things to throw at cardboard indoors unclude:
Compasses (the architechtural sort, not the navigating kind)
Heavy coins
Heavy Pens... pencis also work sort of
Small nails
Hmm.... I know that i've thrown a ton of miscelaneous objects at cardboard... but can't really remember more....

thanks for all the ideas, it sucks living in the city, throwing options are so limited

cd's can work for card board, but they stick in insulating foam better

the shutter things from lights that you use in theatre stick in foam nicely  :) ::)

cd's huh? cool like a mini chacurum :)

Rotary saw blades painted to look like CDs... :-X :-X :-X
I love them ;D.
If you throw at cardboard targets, you can throw steak knives, butter knives, forks, wire darts, metal pens, sharpened coins(or unsharpened if you have enough speed in your throwing motion), lenghts of music wire... the list is endless. Anything pointy or edgy can be stuck into cardboard.
