Introducing the Lancea Throwing Knife!

The LANCEA is Sleek and light at 130.8 grams with a centered balance point, made from 4140 Hardened tool steel.

I’ve been wanting to make a comfortable feeling thick and durable throwing knife for a while, but was finding my designs too heavy …. so after much thought and many drawings, the Lancea was born!

I find this knife works best for No-Spin throwing, but can be thrown any style!

www. GRABMYAXE.ca Check out my Contact page to send me a message to order your set of Lancea today!

3 LANCEA set $225 Canadian + Shipping or free local delivery (contact for info).

Single Lancea $80 Canadian + Shipping or free local delivery (Contact for info).

Interesting history; The Lancea was the Roman auxiliaries' short javelin. According to the OED, the word originally came from the Celtiberian language, also cf. λόγχη, the Greek term for lance.

Spring is here!

Wow, so the last few years were…….. well you know! But it seems like we’re back in business thank the gods!

I’ll be back in the shop in a more regular basis for any custom work and orders you may want!

New THROWING KNIVES are coming very soon……4140 Tool steel, 26cm x 1.4cm they’re going to be deadly!
