Too bad natural selection rarely occurs anymore. :jerkit:

This is one of the most ridiculous questions I've ever seen...
 
Actually since we're on the dumbass question topic. I've done some edge damage to my RUKUS, and I live near a railroad track and you know how you can flatten pennies right? So do you think...
 
Here's how to throw folders safely with no serious risk of damage:

Step 1: Get a bunch of cardboard boxes. If you can't figure out how to do this go to a McDonalds at close and ask for a half dozen fry boxes. Maybe they'll already have them broken down and taken out and maybe they won't.
Step 2: Find an open area with soft grass and dirt everywhere.
Step 3: Stack the boxes up and use that as your target. You'll get easy sticks and it's completely impossible to bounce the knife back at you at a dangerous speed. Remember- control over power. Pretty much no force is needed to stick a sharp thrown knife in cardboard.

I expect a fragment or two would get thrown with vicious force. Pennies are far softer than a hardened knife blade. You're going to get fracturing instead of smooshing.

Ok, well what if I hold it really, really tight then?
 
throw the folders you desire
they will deteriote rapidly
suggestion---throw the knives that cost less than 20$
same amount of recreation but you only ruin a cheap knife
however if you desire to ruin a 200$ folder; that's your own business.
try old ice picks,stick deeper.
1 or 2$ at flea markets
 
Hmmm. They are outdoors, in a wooded area, drinking, setting snares to catch small furry animals, and carrying knives that are thrown into trees for amusement.

What will Daddy say when he discovers the beer gone and his favorite William Henry's bent and filled with bark? Much less the neighbor's muffy dog let out to run loose all night and needing an amputation?

Like as not these participants didn't fall off the trailer porch, they walked out the back patio door in a development and took a short hike. America's future leaders.

Can't wait to see them in ten years at the lake on their jet skis . . .

You mean hold the knife on the rail as the train goes by?


That wouldn't make any difference on anything. The forces a train applies dwarf even a thousand times your strength.

Wow, that is really disappointing. And here I thought I had a good way to sharpen a knife, at least about as good an idea as throwing a folder.

:eek: Wow that was a mouthful! :D
 
I think the point has been made so to speak.

Rather than letting the banter continue I think it is time to let this thread RIP.

Further postings on the subject might be W&C fodder.
