Hi Guys, here's a look at my collection as it stands today:

My Bowie Axe:

My Set of Pro Throwers:

and the box Mr McEvoy sent them in dated 4 Sept 1986!

The idea for starting this thread was so everyone could post photo's of their Throwing Knives as well, am I the only one with a collection? :confused:

I think throwing knives are great. Don't have any yet, though I used to throw knives when I was younger. Mostly I have traditional folding knives, which I can't throw. I may invest in some at some point because it sure is fun.
 
My sons been bugging me to pick up a set of throwing knives for a while now and I did use to be pretty good at it as a kid so maybe it's time that I do. Any personal suggestions on a decent starter set that is quality made but won't break the bank Matt The Rat?
 
Night Rider: look at the Cold Steel offerings for quality knives that won't break the bank.

Now, back to the original topic. First, if you have a collection, you might wonder how to store it and carry it around. For my little collection, this Duluth Trading tool roll works well.

Unrolled, it looks like this:

Taking them out, we have:

Top: Cold Steel Sure Balance
Right: Flying Steel Shur-Knife
Left: Flying Steel Arrow
Middle: Inexpensive "home-made" blade from ebay that I quite like.
One more view shows the relative sizes:

and, you can see how I ground off one of the tabs above the handle on the Sure Balance to make it better/easier for no-spin throwing. That said, I really feel that these Cold Steel blades are too big and tip-heavy for me, and I'm considering grinding them down to a Shur-Knife profile.

Here are some I just finished last night 4-19-2019.
Two of the three still look like them selves on the table. The other....
I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong in my heating related processes.
I like your Tru-Bal Knives, looks like you've had them for a bit...

Certainly wouldn’t consider it a collection but here is what I got.
3 Cold Steel Tru Flight and s few throwers I made.

The Tru Flight came crazy sharp for throwing knives and even after dulling them a bit the wraps didn’t last long.
 
If you cover the cord wrapped handles with a layer of hockey/ sport tape they’ll last for a good long while, just add another layer when they inevitably get cut. The whole thing won’t unravel in one go though ;)
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. There are some real scumbags out there, piles of :poop: :mad:. Looks like you put in some time to clean them up too!
 
The idea for starting this thread was so everyone could post photo's of their Throwing Knives as well, am I the only one with a collection? :confused:
This is the slowest sub-forum I'm aware of here, but I'm glad it's still here.

I'll take a pic or two later. I'm not sure what the state of my arsenal is. I think one good, plain, flat one (no handle covering), two alleged Chinese pattern alleged throwers (definitely made in China), and a couple of Pakistani Bowies that are big and cheap enough to not get broken and not be cared about if they did.
Those old Indo-Pakistani Jeep spring knives vary a lot.
 
If you're lucky, you have a local throwing buddy that will let you test throw them.

If that's not an option, you locate an online friend who has them and can give you a personal review and answer your questions.

The next step is to search utube and see if any one has posted a review.

The last step is to just buy them and check them out yourself. This is what I usually end up doing. It's also why I have as many user throwing knives as I do.
 
How are you checking to see how well they balance before you purchase?

I usually want to know where a knife balances, rather than how well it balances (since they all balance somewhere). Flying Steel posts balance points on their specs pages.
 
Lorian, who made those 3 that are stuck fairly close together that look about the same? I really like the looks of those.
