Quick Answer

Precision and balance are everything in a throwing star — an unbalanced shuriken won't spin true. Louis Martin's throwing stars are individually inspected for balance and ground to consistent specifications for sport throwing and martial arts training.
Characteristics & Construction
Steel and Hardness
Our throwing stars are made from 420 stainless and high-carbon steel, heat-treated to 52–55 HRC — hard enough to hold a point but not brittle under throwing stress.
Point Geometry
Four-point (standard shuriken) and six-point designs are available. Each point is ground to a consistent angle for penetration and to enable self-righting during flight.
