I thought it was all fun and games too, but after seeing your post in the Helle thread, I'm starting to ease you into the category of fanboy troll. :D
 
Throwing a knife, even when it hits point first creates torque and lateral stress.

The knife spins and rotates on both axises when thrown (the way most throw it with a spin).

This can easily break even thick steel.

That said, I have knives not designed for throwing that I have been throwing for 2 decades!!!! No breakage. One is a bayonet with a foot long blade and very heavy handle. No handle, or guard separation. No rattles. The blade has a tiny bend to one direction from this abuse though.

I have knives I don't feel bad about throwing, even though they are not designed for it. Even some very expensive blades.

I also have some dedicated throwers that were specifically designed for it.

If I knew that a manufacturer specifically said it was abuse to throw their knife I would not.

Busse has specifically said it is ok, so I don't feel bad about throwing those.
 
I fully agree that throwing a knife is abuse. Get a softer temper knife that is designed for throwing.

another thing that could be considered abuse is the intentional modification of a knife, like i did with my BK2 (the "Landshark" mod) HOWEVER, i am fully aware that i voided any warranty when i started that mod, and i am honorable enough to NOT b*itch and moan and try to get a free knife if i ever break it.

Here's is the email exchange. I have removed the names and email addresses to protect privacy, but I felt this needed to be posted because it is pure idiocy.

XXXXXX,

Please tell your friend we would appreciate it if he would not buy any more of our knives. If he wants to throw knives then buy throwing knives. What he is doing is nothing short of idiocy. Our knives are made for professional use in many environments. Intentional abuse, such as your friend is doing, will eventually cause us to not guarantee our knives with the excellent No Questions Asked warranty that we have now. We would rather your friend spend his money elsewhere. It’s a shame that people intentionally abuse gear because they know they can get it replaced for free. I’m not impressed by your email or your friend’s “skills.”

Best regards,

Jeff Randall

Subject: RE: izula sheath

Your knives are the best. I’ve bought two izula’s and two RC 3’s. given away one of each for a gift. My friends and I abuse the hell out of them while back packing. We enjoy throwing knives into trees out in the woods to kill time from making shelter’s and my buddy broke his in half while throwing his RC 3 for about the 1000th time. He sent it in and your company sent him back a brand new one no questions. Your warranty and the fact that they’re made in the USA was honestly the reason I started buying the knives. Best on the planet no question.

XXXXXX

HI got rid of their no questions asked lifetime warranty. now each case is review. they have further classified some knives as heavy field ready knives which get the guarantee, and others which common sense should imply that they shouldn't be treated the way they are... and unfortunately some that ARE tough, but they can no longer warrant due to many people intentionally trying to get new knives for old.

bad heat treat? that's one thing. clean snapped in half? trying too hard. unless of course, you were trying to kill a tank at the time, and managed to gut 1000 enemies at the same time. that's a good story :)

just waiting for the guy that bounces a knife off a tree and has it stick in his buddy's head or gib his girlfriend or something, and cry fowl ;) yeah, just trying getting a new body then!
