...throw your knives at rotten stumps. I was throwing my FSH around the camp site this morning and almost lost it inside this stump. :eek:

That almost had the making of one of Jerry's old "find the buried INFI or lost dogtag" contests.
 
You killed that tree you murderer:p I don't throw a knifes (I would never throw a Buss) at tree stumps due to the rocks surrounding the trees here in CA. They stick 50% if the time but otherwise they bounce off and ruin the edge on a rock. Besides you start throwing a Busse around in the woods you better take you don't knock the tree down on you;) I use a cheap Chinese Ka Bar USMC knockoff for throwing around.
 
Gez Mikey,

I have heard of burying a blade up to the hilt, but up to the pommel!!! I think I agree with c4man, "Better get a longer lanyard"!

Ban volunteered his Sar5 for us to throw, and there's nothing below but asphalt/concrete. We beat the crap out of it, but INFI is really great stuff and nothing that can't be fixed.

Cool picture!
 
How do you throw knives? The other knife that I have and will throw is a Buck Special 119. I find I can stick it from about 7 feet away using a underhand throw where it slides out of my hand. The Buck is not durable and it quickly became a serious user after an 30 minutes of throwing:grumpy: But I know where to get it right (South Coast Cutlery is local and they are a serious knife venue) and some Bass Pro shops have a knife guy on hand who can use power equipment to fix any edge. Anyway the underhand technique is the only one that's worked for me. And from within 5ft I can hit the tree with the tip 80% of the time.

I throw overhand with a hammer grip. I most often throw a Swamp Rat Howling Rat but I've thrown around an ASH1SE and FSH some. The FSH is the one I was using this past weekend. It initially took me a little while getting used to the Fusion handle but it works fine for me. :thumbup:
 
Had that thing disappeared you would have been really Stumped:p

Thanks for the pics!

Oh how did miss posting that pun Must have been to focused last night ordering a NMFBM:D If I'm not mistaken that looks to be some great Pitch Wood. Or Sap Wood or whatever It's called in your regional area. But it makes great tinder. I think I may buy a dedicated thrower that was designed for flight to throw around in the woods. Was surprised how well I can stick my knife in a tree with an underhand throw. No chance throwing overhand.
 
Wow mikey!!

If you hadn't told us that the tree wasn't rotten I would of said that you either had a very very sharp busse or that you were superman gone camping!!
 
That's pretty awesome! Imagine chucking that sucker at a zombie- and it goes all the way through and impales the zombie directly behind. That'd get their attention!

Calling Jerry Bruckheimer!
