Question: What do YOU look for in a review?

[Renaissance-reborn]

Hey guys,

So, I have a few knives I want to make video reviews for, but I just want to make sure I'm making videos that you, actual throwers, want to watch.

What are some general questions you like answered about throwing knives?

Do you care about weight? Blade steel? Do you really like throwing footage? Do you like close up stills or could you care less?

ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS

Oh, and do you prefer the camera pointed down at a table style or the camera pointed at the reviewer?

Thanks for reading.

I have enjoyed and benefited from all your reviews that I have seen. Thanks! I wish my technical know-how was up to the task.

Because I don't spin throw, I am particularly interested in weight and thickness and length of the knife as well as the balance point. Type of steel is of interest not only because it indicates durability but because I can re-grip it and use it in the woods as a hiking or camping companion if it will take and hold a reasonable edge. I was trying to cut 1/2" climbing rope with a stainless thrower (I won't name the maker) the other day because it was on my worktable and I was already outside. I finally got it cut but it was sooooo slooow! I could have knawed it apart almost as fast. I am so glad I wasn't being towed by that rope toward the edge of some cliff somewhere! I have been sharpening knives all my adult life and was taught by a WWII marine buddy of mine to keep them shaving sharp all the time. That is hard to do with almost all throwers. It is almost easier to find good knives that will get and keep an edge and then adapt them for throwers than buy throwers and expect them to be good knives. There are exceptions. I can watch your videos and close-ups and determine pretty well whether or not to try this or that. Thanks for all you do!
