So i have been all over the web looking at homemade knive vids. I've seen the ones Mike just put up and I have found some interesting designs. For the first 4 I went to Lowes and got some 3/16 think x 2" wide x 4' steel. I plan on quartering it to make 4 ~12in knives. Im not going to get super cool and frilly with it. I just want it not to bend or break as quick as some of the cheap throwers I have purchased. I would like to know/see some designs that you all think work well. If you have posted some of them on this site before then I have probably seen them already but please let me know specs. (Handle length, blade length, width of both, length of the taper...) I already have an idea of what I am going to go with and it looks a lot like Mike's 14" thowers he made. I just want this thing to be well balanced and im sure I could make it look however I want and I can tinker enough to get it balanced but it would be great knowing a great starting point. I am a big fan of the bowie style throwers and still want to get some Perfect Balance Throwers but this is a much cheaper choice for me right now. 4 knives for 20 bucks or 3 for 70 with the PB Throwers from CS... So help if you can. Much appreciated.
Happy Throwing you all,
