What do you throw?

[shinto187]

I can throw anything with a blade pretty effectively, I was so excited when I learned how to thow a Kukuri, and it makes sense, cause the thing is shaped like a boomerang.
I also throw a Hibben axe, and my folders, and all my fixed edges, but I have not tried a sword yet.;)

i usually throw a fit...but i wanna try those mountain man axes.

I throw 180 grain and 55 grain bullets, no blades. can't help you if it's not in your sheath or in your hand.

I try to throw my voice but it does not work,:( but i can throw a tomahawk pretty good.:D

tomahawks are fun! So are used old hickory 7" butcher knives you buy for $1 or so at yardsales and fleas markets. Handle heavy, so you throw accordingly.

Used to throw a lot, but it got boring, or I just got tired of it, so I quit.

Anything with wooden scales, your'e going to break a lot of scales. Tomahawks, buy spare handles, lots of spare handles, hickory seems best, but you'll break them too.

It was fun though!

Almost forgot, E-Tools, cold steel, German, russian and even the real old Swiss ones. Very underated and poorly understood as a weapon.

You'll need spare handles for them too, if you throw them.

When I was a kid, I tried throwing knives. I broke the lock on my Spyderco Endura :( Then I figured out that shovels were the way to go, since they would stick at all angles if you sharpened them up properly and nailed a spike on the end of the handle.

shuriken. ive been usin em for years and would trust no other in throwing weapons.

I find it very interesting to read all the stuff people throw,kukri's,bullets,e-tools, folding knives,shuriken's, and even a fit, which i must admit i have thrown one's or twice in my life:D

I throw for fun.. And shinto187 is correct anything with an edge will throw and stick.

Those cheapie hatchets throw right well..

One of these comes out and you have a knife, its time to beat feet. But they are 100% offense, zero defense.

Hawks are very effective. HDR, we have a guy 'round here that makes hawks out of R.R. Spikes. Neat little tools.;) 8dDUCE.

I modified the blade on a craftsman hammer hatchet with some judicious filing. It sticks nicely in stumps, and pounds in tent pegs,too. :) Usually it stays in my blackpowder kit.

I learned to throw with a Ka-bar, then we found that if you take a push rod from a motor and heat the end red hot, you can beat it out to a needle point. For awhile the guard on dads Ka-bars were safe again. Later I started with hawks, and got some real throwing knives, still pratice once in awhile, and still use a Ka-bar (mine) most.;)

There are some real Vn issue Hawks floating around.

I made the mistake of throwing a hatchet infront of the grandson once... Do it again Do it again..

:lol:

Now that is seriously neat.. Does he heat treat them?

That's what is so astonishing about Khukuris, they are heat treated with a charcoal fire and a tea kettle of water.. The spine is a Rockwell C 30-35, the belly is a C 40-45 and the edge is a C 55.. Pretty good for some guy in Nepal in a hut..

HDR,
I am not sure, he is at the local gunshows alot. He does Alot of primitive weaponary. Absolutly astonishing. Quality work. I will have to ask next time I see him, I had a card with a phone number. I am not sure if it is still around. This guy makes knives, Hawks, and Flint, steel arrowheads. Cool stuff. I have a knife made from a bush hog blade. It holds an edge like no other knife I oww, except my KaBAR.My neighbor made it. He left to me when he passed on. He used to Hand make canoes. He was a True Florida Cowboy. Sometimes the handmade stuff is neater than the store bought stuff.8dDUCE.
