That I just finished making for my girlfriend. She wanted a set of throwing knives for Valentine's day. I wonder if that is a good sign or a bad sign? I think I'll tell her they're cupid knives. :)

I made them out of some 1/4" inch thick mystery high carbon steel I had laying around. I'm not sure how hard they are-- I did a single quench in old motor oil and then tempered them twice in the oven at 450 degrees. I've given them a few test throws (and test misses) and they seem to be holding up well. I figure that they're throwing knives and are generally going to get tarnished and beat up anyway-- which is o.k. as long as they are mostly indestructible.
 
No, they aren't chisel ground. They are just fairly thick. I put an "axe" edge on them.

Yeah, I hope I get hit by one figuratively, not literally! I think she's a "keeper!" (gotta love a girl who wants to share your love of the blade!)
 
wow, nice work man.

you're lucky, my girl friend made sure I -wouldn't- get her a knife. She made me swear on it :(
