Throwing knives

[grumit]

Hi chaps any knife throwers here used to play around some years ago and fancy playing again so question where to get them and which are worth having

I bought some Cold Steel Sure Flight Sport knives after having a go at the bushmoot, happy with the purchase, seem solid enough, yet to chip or break one..

What's your budget and how many do you want?

Don't throw myself but the wife got three of these

but if you get them direct from John Taylor

they are about half the price, or was about 6 months back. They look really well made to me and the reviews were good.

I've still to make a triple thigh sheath for them, oops.

I would not like my wife to be able to throw knives.
Due to my dodgy knee and back I am slow these days....

 

[tombear]

The knives don't worry me but the ash longbow she keeps in the shed and the fact I'm as wide as a barn door these days does!

So if she misses at short range ( knives) she will bag you with the longbow.....

You must be the perfect husband!

I think John Taylor is your best bet. As far as I know he based his design on a discontinued Cold Steel thrower.

I mean it's not as if he doesn't know what works.

No real budget and not sure how many I need three seems the normal

Please may I say whatever throwing knife or axe you decide on, that you don't hurl it into a live tree.

How about one that was live, but was felled with a chainsaw, and a big disc cut off the end?

John Taylors the man to contact.
Here are some of mine:

Some of my winter ones! They clean up well:

Flying Steel are fantastic, I'll be getting some Arrows shortly for no spin throwing. As said the John Taylor ones are fantastic and my recommendation for anyone. Spin or no spin they just fly true.
Light weight and cheap usually means they are rubbish. The light weight Cold Steel's Sports are rubbish, so go for their True Flight Throwers or at least something with some weight. I don't like Hibben throwers either.
