I have a Clip Point Throwing Knife For Sale, and it would make a fine Camp Knife, as well.

The knife is 14 inches overall, with a 9 inch blade.

This knife has plenty of mass to stick into the target, and is built very durably.

This knife will also do double duty as a camp knife.

The blade is Hand-Forged from 3/16 inch 5160 High Carbon Steel and possesses a Blue Gray Finish.

The handle is Full Grain Xtra Heavy Oak Tanned Leather Handles Bonded to Tang and Secured with Copper Harness Rivets. Leather has been Stained, Sealed w/ Drying Oil like a Gunstock Finish, and finished with multiple coats of wax.

$100 without a sheath.
 
Picture in hand?

I like to ask, (hope you don't mind) is the edge hardened to the same hardness as rest of the blade? What is the hardness rating like for the edge? If assuming I like one but in a ever so slightly different shape modification would you be able to make one?

How much extra for a sheath? Kydex sheath is not an option?

Thanks.

Cotherion,

Thank you for your interest, and your questions.

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner.

I don't have a image of it in hand, but I can get you one in a day or three.

When I temper my throwing knives, the edge is harder than the spine, but nowhere near as hard as my normal knives. On a throwing knife, as you probably know, you want a softer edge, in case you miss and hit a rock or something. I don't have a HRC number, but the edge is still hardened, and fully capable of knife use.

I would be happy to make one in a different shape, no problem at all.

My standard sheath is pretty strongly built, and wet formed, and I ask $50 for it. I know a guy here locally that I can get a kydex sheath from, for you, for $30.

Again, thanks for your interest, I hope we can do business.
 
I'm game for it. I'd like the edge to be hard like normal knife and with softer spine. I'm no thrower.

I like your handles, I'd like it to be the same in shape and in scale material and etc, I'm only wanting slightly modified blade shape not handle. Your handles look rugged, has enlarged butt for grip and strong, me likee :)

The blade shape is pretty much like your throwing knife just I'd prefer it with a more clipped point and with a "guard" which is just a more 90degree shape in the area between the blade and handle so to prevent sliding of hand. I'm game for the kydex sheath.

The knife I shown you in the email is 16.25 bucks for First Class International with insurance. I believe it would be cheaper for your blade since yours is lighter. The one I shown you is 5/16 thick. I'm prepared to pay more for Priority International with Insurance if you feel better with upgraded shipping.

I'm prepared to pay 100 bucks for the blade and 30 for the sheath. However please confirm the shipping. I also would like the package to be labeled as TOOLS (Tax purposes) and for total value written/stated to be no more than 75 bucks (Tax purposes) and I'm fine if anything unfortunate happens I'd claim less. Please let me know if you are cool with this.

And lastly please let me know if you can make one 5/16 thickness and how much would it be? If it is within my budget I'd get that or put that in as my future planned purchase.

Thanks.
 
Adding an image, for a different perspective.....

The Clip Point Throwing Knife is the third one from the bottom.

That throwing knife is very cool. Is that based on a historic design? I saw one very similar (but well used) at a social function last year, right down to the leather handle and brass studs. Very impressive piece.

Now, as for that stag handled dagger with integral quillion and pommel . . . I don't think I've ever seen anything like that piece before. Would like to know more about that one.

This throwing knife is very close in shape to a Hudson Bay, with changes made to make it more durable and suited to for throwing and the shock and abuse that a knife is subjected to when it is thrown. Though of course, that means the shock of impact, and the shock of hitting other objects, when you miss, rocks, steel, a car, whatever.

The handle is shaped so that it will release well when thrown, and the leather handles and copper harness rivets are tough and inexpensive. Most folks won't pay a bunch for a throwing knife, since they know they will have to retrieve it from a gravel pit some day, after they miss their target.

That other knife you mention, just sold a week ago....

Those were a couple knives where I had time on my hands, was feeling artistically liberal, and I might have a had a little whiskey.... And I thought, well, wouldn't this be cool. They feature the sort of blacksmith touches you find on ornamental ironwork, with some creative surface texturing. And, also, who doesn't like big?

To make sure that there is no misunderstanding, I could make those Blacksmith Style knives again, but they would be valued higher.

Hope that answers your questions,
Bob
