Before i discovered Busse(kin), i enjoyed throwing knives.

I know that "technically," you can throw any knife (the temptation to flip my CGFBM is almost tooooo much for me), there are characteristics that make a good thrower. One of those characteristics is durability and resistance to tip breakage.

Although i'm no expert, it seems that the INFI and SR101 would be great steel for throwers.

Have any of the kin ever produced a thrower? Balanced, no scales, 8-10 inches?

i found this thread from a couple of years ago

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/773577-Future-busse-throwing-knife-set

Curious if anything has ever come of it.

I would be more inclined for lesser expensive kin than INFI, but INFI would be great if it hit a price point, maybe 60 bucks each. Simple shape, no edge, but good tip geometry.

Ever see this happening? I could really imagine a scrapithrower, in colors ;)
 
They're all throwers.

You can't expect a $60 INFI thrower.

Cobalt said that he had thrown this SHBM thousands of times before I acquired it.

no 60$ INFI thrower, sure, but what about 60-80 dollar SR-101?

wow, you're really tempting me to toss that CGFBM... but seeing nearly 600 bucks flying through the air for no good reason other than enjoyment?

Back to BePrepared's warranty question... if i throw my Mistress, and she breaks???
 
yup, suspect it would be!

But really, i guess my question is really about "competition" throwers. No handle material, balanced, similar release whether you're throwing from the blade or the handle, just the right weight for the length, those kinds of things.

While it would be fun to throw an outlaw or tank buster, watching the second one hit it and shatter the G10 would be, well, nausiating :barf:
 
I don't think G10 will shatter. The handles may come loose and Busse will put them back on like new.

My last post didn't take, so if this is redundant, let me know.

I suspect the'd fix the handles, but when throwing for practice (which should be the same knives as competition), you do it over and over and over and over and... nevermind...

Point being, you destroy any non-metalic material on the knife within days of practice. Jerry might not be happy with weekly returns ;)

Looking for a knife designed for competition throwing, not expecting it to be here, but it would be cool... maybe not scrapithrower... how about "swamp bat" ???

Maybe too much to hope for.
 
If you get knife on knife action, you can sure ruin the handles!

I have thrown my FBMLE, and Ash1CG.

Your FBMCG won't have any problems, as long as you are not bouncing it off of rocks and concrete.

I have seen the flared rivets shift and the handles move on one knife (just the pics on here). Only seen it once though.
 
Busse will fix it as many times as you want.... I have never heard of them not warrantying their product. Even if the owner is using the warranty often:)
If it's an accident it's covered, period.

I may or may not have done this (I admit nothing :D) to my Gladius while throwing my NMFBM

That may or may not (;)) have happened because I didn't go get the Gladius before throwing the Mistress. A little high velocity edge on edge contact has never hurt anyone.

Did I mention I suck at throwing?
 
Throw it, I throw the Chuckette' from time to time and all that it ever does is knock the tree over.
 
I've been throwing knives for over 20 years now and I throw all my FBM's. CGFBM, FFBM, FBM LE. I also throw my dogfather too! They throw great and really have no major damage. I'll post some vids one of these days.
 
for a dedicated thrower, why not get a throwing knife? For the price of a small Busse, you could get several excellent throwers designed for that purpose.
 
There was a single set made to my knowledge, the apache thrower set. Originally made to be hog-hunting throwers, which resulted in the thrower being tree'd by an unhappy boar. However, there was never any photo's taken of them and only a passing reference or two from a decade ago. I beleive they were 5160.

Throwing knives are gaurenteed to suffer damage over time, I'm not sure that busse would be able to profit from them given the cost of equivalently sized knives. Scrap Yard however might be able to put something out for under 200$ a set.
 
if i was going to hog hunt with a THROWING knife, i'd want to be throwing BM's or a gladius.

i've seen hogs shot with a .308 rifle and still manage to charge the hunter and run over 100 yards before dropping.

those are some tough bastards lemetellya
