I'll respond to that question with a video of the ones I've been throwing almost every day for the last 6 months...
These are the ones I took with me to Eugene Oregon.
I'm better with some than others, and I have to say... lanyards have no business on throwing knives... They just freak me right out and make my throws wild.

Nice collections everyone, big range of stuff!

This is the knife I've owned the longest, made by my father and engraved by my mother when I was 13.
It was ground by hand on a double wheel bench grinder from flat 1/4" barstock over about a week during the period just before my 13th birthday.
Its made of 301 stainless and is as such, not heat treated. Its Rockwell harness is that of say pine, or fir. Its really soft.
It started out at 11" long but over the years hard impacts on stone, steel, a car, and many other wood and non-wood items have blunted and compacted the tip. That along with numerous "resharpenings" by myself and (lesson learned) my friends have left this knife only 10.5" long.
I also added the super shallow bevels which managed to remove some of the engraving as I thought they made it look more like a real knife, regrets.
Still it was hand-made in 1989 and has lasted all these years.
Its what I tried to pattern my GL series knives after but somehow failed.
To this day it stands alone as the king of sealed seltzer bottle destruction and I've personally thrown it thousands of times.
If I've ever thrown anything. Its been this knife.
Named "Sting" as I'd just finished the novel, The Hobbit before this knife was given to me on my birthday.

From father to son, this is the best knife I own.
See, now I'm getting all sentimental.

Interesting story with that one. Makes me reminisce. :thumbup:
 
I just joined the forum today. Love throwing knives. I have some I'd like to show, but I don't have a URL. I have the pictures as jpeg files. Can anyone help on how to post them? One of my favorites is one I got from Bobby B. years ago.
