Hi Andrew I actually got a letter from a Dr. in up state NY several years ago (maybe 10) and he had an idea for some throwers he wanted to make in hopes that ...
Andrew I see what you are aiming for, and in theory it helps, but in fact it really does not. How do I know you might ask, ? Well, I spent many years trying to...
Right you are Roy, if you put the funnel/cone near the handle it will look like a short fencing foil or some such thing, as for Paco Tovar of Spain his "Flying...
My idea is to Use your knife , its the best for this kind of throwing, long and heavy... I cant go 25 feet with precision, so I wanna try to see how far I can...
70 degF in the east bay region of california, and it's pretty much the same temperature year-round. Not too bad. It almost makes up for the housing market. :) ...
For some reason my yahoo mail has been fouled up. I didn't get any emails the last several days, including these from the blade thrower, so I'm not sure what...
Hi, Roy, I deeply agree with you, knives with Fletching look like Darts, not knives. So, skill is the only solution. A good shape helps, also.... About...
Hi Ralph Long time no hear, you have to make sure you get your emails of this list straightened out so you can see what's going on!!! If you don't mind who is...

That is what I was talking about when I said it's easier to learn by starting with that throw than to unlearn normal throwing. I can manage maybe 12' with a no...
I'm in the Same level as you. At 12 feet I dont miss, any kind of knife. At 16 feet I can hit many knives, but not all. And a at 25 feet...I will have to use...
I didn't see the rules for the online tourney because it must have been during those days I was missing emails (which seems to be fixed now), but 12 feet is...
I don't like bigger knives becasuse thats just outright cheating. My knives, the ones I am using for now are about 12" long, maybe a litle under. I made them...
Longer knives are not cheating. Ralph can cope better with longer knives because of his method and his strong wrist action, but in general shorter knives are...
Ralph My idea (and one can put other rules, I just want to Check our abilities, no matter who is the best guy)...is to throw the Longer you can, Any knife, no...

Dalmo This is not the pinch grip you are thinking of, the knife dangles between the thumb and finger as though it were on a piece of string. Most times it...
Roy- Thanks - I believe your "rats tail grip"is more"Rotten rats tail grip", meaning you hold the knife with some repugnance ;) ! Ralph, and what it happens...
