What makes a throwing knife … well … a "throwing knife". Is there a standard pattern or some distinct characteristics that must be had for this name to stick? Are there rules or parameters at Rendezvous for throwing knife competitions? Thanks
Balance I'd say is pretty crucial.What makes a throwing knife … well … a "throwing knife".
So far, I haven't seen any. As far as characteristics, a throwing knife ought to be pretty tough to withstand all the abuse it will sustain when hitting unintended objects like rocks. I wouldn't throw my good smith made belt knife and risk dinging up the edge, or splintering the wood scales.Is there a standard pattern or some distinct characteristics that must be had for this name to stick?
I'd say check with the NMLRA rule book. If your throwing knife meets those requirements, it's probably good enough for most any rendezvous.Are there rules or parameters at Rendezvous for throwing knife competitions? Thanks
Funny you should ask.What makes a throwing knife … well … a "throwing knife". Is there a standard pattern or some distinct characteristics that must be had for this name to stick? Are there rules or parameters at Rendezvous for throwing knife competitions? Thanks
Spell correct would have had me tasering my only son to show some pictures. I held back my Taser and just asked him.Funny you should ask.
My son is big in making Throwing knives. It's an entire different sport. They have competitive contests just like the ML people
I thought all such knives required you to be specific distances so the knife turning end over hit the target point first.
To my surprise there is also a knife, or maybe just the way it is thrown that does no need that end over end routine. I goes point first all the way.
i have tased him to give me some pictures of his products for Show & Tell on the Forum to lets YeeHaw folks see what the elite knife throwing are using.
He refuses to do so but he did put a link on my web site.
From what I have shakily noticed is that they don't have the handles we see peeking out of belt scabbards but are fairly slim.He has even developed some that glow in the dark
They are pretty expensive but when you see what is involved in their manufacturing process the price seems reasonable to me.
There Zonie, you have all I know on the subject of throwing knives
