These throwing stars are a modern interpretation of the classic Shuriken. Used for centuries in China and Japan, the throwing star consists of a well-balanced piece of flattened steel with 3 or more sharp points. When thrown overhand like a baseball, side arm, underarm or back hand like a flying saucer, it hits on at least one point every time. This set of three throwing stars is made from high quality 420SS steel with a tough black oxide coating and are stored in a handy nylon sheath.
