I know it's a broad question but I'm curious. I was asked to participate, as a seller, in the Southwestern National Tomahawk and Knife Championship. For a variety of reasons I wasn't able to attend but it piqued my interest.
So what makes a good thrower? I have a very limited knowledge of throwing knives. Basically it's my understanding that you want a lower RC hardness but that's about all I know.
Do you want a heavy knife, a light knife, long, short, thick or thin, handle or not???
I'm interested in making something with a primitive or rustic look. Maybe a forged thrower with a wrapped handle.
I'm wide open to thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks,
SDS
