4.0 out of 5 stars A throwing review, April 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Cold Steel FGX Jungle Dart (Sports)
I picked up three of these to play around with. I've enjoyed throwing knives in the past, and am not an expert, but here are my observations.

First off, remember that I won't be held liable for anything I say here if you hurt yourself playing with these. They are in fact intended to be used as weapons, and will very handily put out an eye or cause extreme bleeding. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Now, on to the review:

Before attempting to throw these, I removed the metal rings to improve balance and air flow. This was not hard. I just took a pair of pliers to them and they came off quickly and easily.

First off, the bad. All of these 'faults' are in fact strengths of the tool, and make it more effective for the uses for which it was INTENDED. They just happen to make it less effective for having fun throwing them at things. The Jungle Dart's main fault when it comes to throwing is its weight. I highly doubt that throwing these outdoors work out, as they would... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Function Follows Form, October 24, 2007

I got this as a replacement for the FGX Skean Dhu after the tip broke. I have a review of the Skean Dhu here on Amazon. The Jungle Dart is much better suited to what I was looking for, but it is still not exceptional.

I was looking for a letter opener, that could be put to other uses in an emergency, that could still be heavy duty enough to open cardboard boxes. The triangular cross section of the Jungle Dart certainly makes this a lot sturdier than the Sken Dhu. The edge does a great job of slicing, not ripping, open letters and other envelopes. While lacking the needle tip of the Skean Dhu, the tip of the Jungle Dart is sturdy enough to pierce almost anything that comes across your desk. It still will not pierce a credit card, but the tip does not deform.

I used the Jungle Dart to pierce cardboard boxes for opening without a problem. Reinforced packing tape did not slow the Dart down either. Very efficient for piercing, but don't twist the blade or try to side... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars interesting...., February 8, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Cold Steel FGX Jungle Dart (Sports)
when i received it, the tip was bent! i did take some 100 grit paper and reshape it so that's fixed. i guess its not that big of a deal with such a quick repair. the blade has a lot of flex in it which i was surprised to find in a "fiberglass reinforced plastic". yes, this is the first of the fgx line i have owned. i do think, though, this would make an adequate last ditch self defense tool. i haven't tried it on any soft targets. honestly i really don't *have* to. just by visual inspection alone i can see how it would have nice penetration. it has enough rigidity with the triangular cross section to keep from bending on impact, plus the edges and ridge line are pretty sharp so it would slice as it was inserted. i don't like the hollow ground effect on the back though. i think that was a waste of effort in mold production as well as making the blade more flexible then it needs to be, unlike the delta dart. overall i guess im not too unimpressed, but it dont warrent 5* in my eyes.
