Canadian-Moeller knives ????help

woody · Feb 15, 1999

hello all,
Does anybody know anything about Moeller Viper throwing knives. An acquaintance has some for sale but I do not know what they cost new and what they would be worth now.They are at least a few years old. They are great looking knives,nice polished knives ,all stainless with holes in the handles and they have form fitting leather sheaths with Viper engraved on it and a metal clip on the back.Does anyone know if these are any good and what retail might be on these knives?
any info would be great,
woody

Harald Moeller *ROCKS*. I own a ViperII, they sell for...I *think* aabout $75US a pop. I paid $50 for mine used. I also own a custom Moeller project known as "The Outsider" that everybody's probably sick of hearing about

- go look further down for references to that beast.

There's a knife-thrower's web page out there with reviews of various throwers - the Viper is considered among the VERY best in the world.

As to current prices, EMail him. His website is at:

Damn right, Jim, I'm getting pretty sick of hearing all this about the Outsider. So I suggest you send it to me UPS ground and I'll look it over for myself. Don't forget that sheath! I'll probably return it.

P.S. JUST KIDDING!!! Remember, it's not worth the drive to Illinois to kick my ass . . . I hope.

CHORTLE!

Hey, it could be worse, you coulda threatened to skin a bear with it (smiling and waving at Scott Evans).

I tell you this much for free: having "your own personal fighter" is pretty damn cool

Harald is a great maker as well as a great guy. He will be making the 1999 American Knife Throwers Alliance contest knife.
This will be a limited edition, so contact either me or Harald for the details.

I have known Harald for almost 18 years and have thrown his Vipers since they were first made. I also have collected some of his custom knives.

for some info about the Viper and throwing, point to http://www.crl.com/~mjr/viper.html

I currently use 3 Viper II and also have the Canadian Frontiersman.

This is a top drawer thrower and you will enjoy using it.

Not only have I *never* heard anything bad about this guy, he managed to *BALANCE* The Outsider. I did *not* expect that, I thought I was gonna get a tip-heavy monster. He helped enlarge the design *and* balance it 1" from the guard, per most sources that's perfect for a big "Bowieoid". And I still can't figure out how, not after I decided to chop the grip shorter to gain palm support.

If I do ever manage to get a production maker rolling 'em, Harald is gonna get 1/3rd. The balance issues he contributed are worth that, although he keeps saying otherwise.
