Harrows Black ICE 24g darts review

[Getagrip]

I got these recently from Puredarts.co.uk: click here they cost £25.49.

According to the packaging the darts have a "Super tough titanium nitride coating" which I presume is the black coating of the barrels. The I.C.E. name stands for Isostatic Cold Extrusion which is the process used in making the billets. They are 90% tungsten.

As you can see above they come with a plastic case, medium Harrows Supergrip stems with gold stem clips and Harrows Marathon standard shape flights which are a nice tough flight.

They are a great looking dart and the colour gives them a sleek look.

I have had the regular version of this dart since they first came out, it was one of the few sets I hit a 180 with. I think the black version look very cool but I should imagine that because of the aggressiveness of the grip they will be prone to chipping so bear that in mind. I have to say that although I don't always get on with razor grip these have a very good quality feel about them and do feel nice to throw.

I'm happy to give these a 9/10 Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

I had a set and have to admit they are top notch arrows I gave them a 10 outta 10. Sorry I traded them really.

great review grip , if you would have done this two weeks ago i think i would have gotten the black ice steel and black ice tundra(soft). had the them in my pure cart 10 times!!
was worried about chipping paint.
what are you reviewing next?

[Getagrip]

thanks mate, not sure what I will do next, got plenty of darts I have not even opened yet lol

Thank you for this review, I am looking at trying these darts out. Although I am looking at a different weight it seems depending on the weight it will depend on how the dart is designed as well.

This particular model is only available in 24g I think, the other weights are different designs Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Yeah I am looking at the McCoy Sharks. I hope to put an order in at pure in a week or two. Some friends and I are going to put in one big order to help with shipping.

I've thrown the 23g, 24g, as well as the 25g black ice darts. I loved the finish and the feel of the coating. I also like the shark tooth on the 24g because it is a little closer together in the center which helps make it feel not as agressive. I sold the 23g because the front weighted style just was not for me but the person that bought them loves them. The 24g I sold because I wanted a little slimmer and longer dart. The 25g were far to thick for me and I sold them to one of my teammates that I play with in both of my leagues. I see these darts twice a week. I can say the finish has held up extremely well, and there are only a few minor chips in the teeth.

[Getagrip]

Thanks Milky, they are a great looking dart for sure, I still have my original 24g ICE from when they first came out, something about the tungsten that feels very dense too.

They look nice, great review Daz. Look forward to your reviews, nice to hear how they shape up by a neutral, also we're both front grip guys naturally, gives me a better idea.
