So if HI made a Shaken, what would it weigh?

[not2sharp]

I came across this image and thought it looked like almost looked like an HI version of one of these:

Except, the HI version would also be at least a 1/2" thick.

I'm sure the kamis would make it indestructable and lightweight...

...not more than 3 lbs on average.

It must take some real skill to throw those without cutting a finger off in the process

I used to spend hours as a teen throwing them at an old stump. I'd tack up a wildlife picture as a target and have a great time improving my aim. I probably wasn't using correct form, but I was very accurate after awhile.

We then started throwing 4" skill saw blades.. but they cut the fingers too much as they passed through. But Man they bit DEEP when they hit a tree---always amazed me because they are fairly thick on the edges..

I never threw these things as a youngster; but, I started a few weeks ago and it looks like alot of fun. It seems about as easy to stick and target as darts (as least for me - I am a lousy dart player); but, the variety of throwing stars is much more colorful.

I can almost see that HI throwing star; the thing would run about 5 inches across, with a max crossection of 3/8" and beautifully sculpted points. With that kind of weight they would stick solid and require a pry bar to pull lose.

Ok. So here's the question that was bound to come up.....:

So will HI make them? Cause I will definetely buy one...assuming the weight can be kept to under 2 lbs

Maybe they should have a cut out in the middle that fits most pry bars?

Ok, so who's carving the prototype?

Just buy one of these and ask HI to make it a tad bigger and better
