Hi all, here's the story of how I began the indoctrination of two generations of a family. I started a new job about a month ago, and I'm already known as 'the knife guy', since I've been receiving packages at work that contain things like my new EdgePro, etc. A coworker asked me if I knew how to throw knives, which I do...after a few discussions, it came out that he would piggy-back on my next knife order and purchase a couple of throwing knives. Not just for himself -- but for him and his son.
He only sees his son on weekends, as this job is at an Internet software company and we're currently pushing 80 hours a week. He picked up the knives in order to have something he could do with his son on the weekends that will be both cool and memorable. And what 13 year old kid won't see practicing throwing knives on the weekend as being cool enough to hang out with your dad for?
Anyway, the knives came today, 2 Gil Hibben Thrower III's, and he's already planning out the weekend
And to forstall any cautionary comments, I did warn him about keeping the target area clear, making sure whoever isn't throwing stands behind and off to the side of the person who is throwing, and other little details you pick up after having knives bounce off a target and whiz 1" away from your head.
So, how's that for a knife story to tell to people who think knives are just dangerous weapons carried by thugs?
