No matter your reason for wanting to throw a folder, I don't think its idiotic. Much of the things us knife people do is foolish to other people, and they just plain dont see the point. I had the same idea as you and eventually settled upon a cold steel american lawman like I know you eventually will. Until then, like a lot of people have suggested, you should get any other cold steel knife with the triad lock specifically. I have thrown mine several times and it worked extremely well. NO edge damage, NO lock failure, and NO abnormal wear. That is what a good folder can do, despite the criticism youre receiving on this thread. The coating will wear off but I just stripped mine completely. Its not totally practical but its alot of fun and its cool to be able to say youve done it. I dont know many other knives that can do that.
