I’ll be completely honest and admit that these knives from the French company Throwingzone aren’t actually brand new anymore. It’s just that I haven’t had time to showcase them on the blog until now!
The reason for this purchase wasn’t just sheer curiosity—as is so often the case with me—but rather that I was looking for a good, reasonably priced beginner model for VXO Sportkastning. Previously, the Cold Steel Pro Flight was the obvious choice for this purpose. However, not only have they become more expensive, but—more importantly—they were incredibly hard to get hold of due to the global situation at the time I needed to buy them. I had also previously bought models from Poland at a good price, but that brand doesn’t seem to be active anymore.
That’s why I chose this model, the Wayflyer , instead. It looked simple and capable, and the price was justifiable.

On their website, Throwingzone describes the knife as "/../ perfect for pro throwers and beginners"—a claim I can certainly endorse. It is quite simple in design, which means it is easy to throw and offers no surprises. It is relatively thin, allowing it to cut through the air effectively and achieve good penetration.
Like all knives in the range, it is made from Swedish Hardox steel. It is 5 mm thick, 310 mm long, and weighs in at 305 g.
It is light enough to be used for no-spin throwing as well—provided you prefer slightly heavier knives for that discipline. While perhaps not perfect for the purpose, it is certainly capable. Although primarily designed for rotational throwing, its slender profile also makes it excellent for techniques such as the military half-spin.

After throwing it a bit myself, I can confirm—as previously mentioned—that it is an excellent all-round knife for beginners, which was the intention. In fact, someone at the club liked it so much that a set was ordered almost immediately.
