First Throwers?

Check out the Cold Steel carbon V knives in 10 or 12 inch. They can be had for less than $15 and are extremely durable. Or you can get some cheapo china stuff. The china stuff will bend/break easier but can be had for very little. Anything that sticks is good for a starting point. IMHO don't start with anything less than 10" as a bigger knife is easier to stick. Check out saturnine138's thread in this forum if your interested in bayonets.

I learned to throw with a cheap marine combat knife and a bayonet as a kid. But it is better to get a task specific thrower like Mr. SOLEIL suggested.
The more knife-like old true flight thrower from CS is pretty good and as far as 'knives that are also decent throwers' the CS SRK is tops IMO.

No
Throwing things at people is too time consuming. Shooting them is a whole lot quicker and easier.
Check out e-bay or just do a search on your PC for "cold steel throwing knife" and then sort everyone out for the best prices and conditions. I have bought most of my CS products from ebay with good results, they usually have the best prices.

well, i don't carry my throwing knives around. I carry folding knives that i would not throw at someone unless given an clear path to run away after throwing it at him.
Drawing a knife is favourable choice if there is a threat to your survival. But if the attack is non-leathal, its stupid to use leathal force. (you know the shit the law can accuse and charge you for)

While we are on the topic of 1st set of knives I have been itching to return to throwing after some many years. In Zimbabwe I used a Glock 81, some beer and bandaid in the woods at a friend's house.
I am eyeing out the Sog Fusion kit. Or would a few cold steel blades be better to start with?
