African Shango throwing knife needed.

[Bladestappedkiller]

I'm looking for someone that either has an African Shango knife for sale or someone that can make me one. This knife will be used as a throwing knife so I don't need a cheap or cheaply made knife. I need this knife asap. Ty.

Call me dense but I dont know what the Shango looks like. I'm sure somebody here can easily make a throwing knife of your design, can you post a picture or better yet a blueprint drawing of sorts?
BTW welcome to the forums.

I looked it up for curiousity:

Whoever makes it...be sure to post pics. Getting the balance on the thing ought to be tricky, I would think.

GeeZ Man, Thats gonna be a tricky one to forge!

 

[Michael Rader]

Yeah. That'll be a stinker to make. Sorry, no dice.

Yes, it would have to be well balanced. And the Africans made them with crude tools and they too were well balanced. So it shouldn't be that hard. The balance is key though.

I'll attempt to make one for you. It won't be cheap or easy, but I'll go for it. Ive never made an African style knife or throwing knife of that style so it ought to be interesting. An "exercise in design" if you know what I mean. Email me if you wanna talk design. soloronin@connpoint.net <---my email
