My brother just got a Tops Tom Brown Tracker, that he is looking forward to throwing at things. He says he knows a buddy of his that throws his Tracker into car doors!
My main question is, are the 1095 1/4 inch thick Tops knives really built to withstand the punishment of being thrown at things? The manual for the Tracker doesn't say it can be thrown, but then again it doesn't say it SHOULDN'T be thrown either.
Now I myself am considering a Tops 111A Steel Eagle, with a "Hunters" edge:

It's the big one at the bottom, right next to the sheath.
Anybody got any experience with throwing these knives? How do they stand up? And how do the black linen micarta handles hold up to handle-hits?
