I’ve got one of the USA made tru flight throwers except mine is plain edge and doesn’t say Special Projects on it.

Those serrations look hand cut, somewhat popular hobbyist thing to do in the mid 90's. It's a very early Tru-Flight. I remember first seeing them in Special Projects before they became a regular item.

OK, that explains it, the serrations threw me off.

Those serrations are most likely a home job. I have a really old tru flight and it’s not serrated. It holds a shockingly good edge. Far better than any other throwing knife I’ve had.

That's because Cold Steel went the extra mile and actually heat treated them to ensure that the working edge really worked. It was what sold me on those early Carbon V Tru Flights--a functional knife first, a capable thrower second. Frankly, I bought my Tru Flight as a survival knife rather than a throwing knife for that reason. I'm guessing that the guy who put those serrations on his was thinking the same thing.

I never had a high-end throwing knife like a Tru Balance, but I threw plenty of cheap throwers in my youth. I agree with AntDog, the Tru Flight puts them all to shame. Being inexpensive AND made in the U.S.A. added icing to the cake.
