a description from andy prisco -
"Here's an action pic of the Apache...specs are as follows
OAL: 13.5"
Weight: approx 16 oz.
Handle: cord wrapped
Steel: A-8
Blade Grind: convex
Edge Grind: convex
This is a blade thrower by design, but the balance point is close enough to center, allowing it to function as a handle thrower.
The ground and shaped pommel also increases the probability of a "stick" when throwing at a target of unknown distance. This feature was especially handy when I went hog hunting, because the target was always moving. This caused me to use the Apache as the blade of choice when I got within 12 feet of the critter. "
i noticed on a thread that andy had the nightlite bowie and an apache thrower...
anyone got any pics? all the threads referencing it are 2 years or older...
edit to add - mmmmmmmm might behemoth.....
