So it's mid Feb and cold here in MN and I haven't thrown any blades for over 6 months, but I recently got a new Cold Steel LaFontaine Thrower on sale online. I was going to wait til winter was over to try it but curiosity got the better of me. I added some smallish thin G10 scales to it and took it out for a few throws yesterday. I was rusty as all get out, but once I dialed in my distance all went well, except getting cold hands too soon.
