Subject: Re: [TheBladeThrower] making an idiot of myself plus shuiken style

Roy,

Don't be so hard on yourself. It is damn near impossible to stick knives in manyf pallets, especially lightweight or dull knives, because of what I call the "trampoline" effect. I mentioned this in my book. Pallets are so springy they are dangerous to throw at because of the bounce-backs. You should have turned the pallets sideways and thrown at the solid side.

Some time ago there was some video floating around online of someone in Japan throwing a spike 60 feet, and also someone throwing in a yard near a garage in an urban area. Am I correct? I didn't see the video because I delayed watching it thanks to my slow dialup. As I recall, you said that one or both of these men throw the no-spin the same way you do.

I bring this up because it is very likely that the men in the videos were Houzan and Handa. Roy, I think you are throwing shuriken style, like Houzan. Just this afternoon I have been experimenting with it per his instructions and it is making a lot more sense to me...

The other day I was delivering finished work to one of my main customers.   I had 7 heavy boxes  which I carried in to their factory containing machined fishing tackle parts.

 

There was a new guy at their firm, and he came over to me and said, "are you Roy the one who throws knives".    I said , yes, but not a lot lately, its too cold.     He said," Ive always wanted to throw knives, but never seen it done up close, I have two knives here,

theres a pallet outside, can you show me a few throws".     I said OK, but its a bit cold but I will throw a few times only.

 

So  outside we go.

 

I was wearing a thick coat, a thick jersey, my arms were aching, I was shivering, and my hands were like icicles, but I was sure I could show him a few sticks from different distances even though I had no feel on his knives.

 

In a nutshell, I threw about 25 times, and stuck 5 knives only.   I also threw his hawk and stuck it only once in 6 goes.     I was about 12-------16ft at the most in the varying ranges.     The knives were not very good and the pallet was springy, but there was no use in making excuses.      I just said its a bad day, and walked away head bowed.

Roys video with the Chuckers in US demonstrates he Throws shuriken style, its interesting to watch how the knives went out of his hands...and how they travel.

Only his grip is not like the Japaneses, they uses a kind of "palm grip"and Roy does not.

 

When we did the last try on line contest I tried to Copy you and Roy (a mix of both styles) and it worked, for sure not as good as You or Roy does, but it Worked.

 

About "trampoline"effects, when I was in Recife with David (TGT) we Destroyed the target first day (mainly Me, who was using heavy knives and throwin Hard) and they Covered the old target with new boards, instead of makin a new one.

 

 David looked at it and said "this is a problem, cause the flexibility of the new boards (floating above the "old"ones) will cause a trampoline effect. He did not used the "trampoline"word, but he pointed Exactly the problem youre talkin about now.

 

And, for sure, we both have some missings dued to it. The knife can hit point first, but doesnt stick.

 

Touché.

Hi, Ralph

 

I would like to be your "distributor"(is it right in English?) but its a Crap down here to send/receive money from other places, lots of difficulties from Government Laws and complicated taxes.

 

So, I'd reather pass To You possible customers, and let you both do the deal.

 

MAYBE I could Copy your dvd and sell copies, but Before doing it I must know how to do  to pay you. And how much. And have a Copyright autorization from you...Lets let it to the next year, this final of year I'm busy finishing some knives for local fellows...and making my poor Advertising free lancers...

 

Anyway, thanks for the trusting, and I will forward your email to Douglas.

I dont have much interest in knives, save the ones I make for myself,
however I made two hundred last time and ended up giving most of them away,
and I kept just 3 sets for myself.
I dont have the time to make knives for others, unless its a huge order, my
spare time is still taken up doing my air-weapon designs and prototypes, but
not for profit, I have given up on gun profit, so I do it out of interest
only.
There are plenty of knife makers out there already, we also have a couple in
our group as you well know, but its not for me, cause a knife has no
engineering problems to solve and thats what I like doing, improving on
mechanical apparatus such as pnuematic weapons.

I would love to have one of Roy's knives, as a keepsake if nothing else. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Roy, I was thinking more of you using knife making not as a business, but as a sort of promotion, a focal point for promoting your style. I have been thinking that if and when I do an expanded version of my video that I would like to package copies with knives. If you had a knife of some kind it would be a "sweetener" to get people watching a video, mine, the one you do yourself, Dalmos', etc. We would show the knife in the video itself...that kind of thing.

ert,

 

Sounds like we need to take up a collection to send to Roy.

 

Roy,

 

How many knives do you want to make this time?  I bet we could sell a few just on this group alone.

I dont have much interest in knives, save the ones I make for myself,
however I made two hundred last time and ended up giving most of them away,
and I kept just 3 sets for myself.
I dont have the time to make knives for others, unless its a huge order, my
spare time is still taken up doing my air-weapon designs and prototypes, but
not for profit, I have given up on gun profit, so I do it out of interest
only.
There are plenty of knife makers out there already, we also have a couple in
our group as you well know, but its not for me, cause a knife has no
engineering problems to solve and thats what I like doing, improving on
mechanical apparatus such as pnuematic weapons.

Roy,

Have you ever considered doing custom throwing knife making, just for
kicks? You seem to have advantages and could offer benefits others
could not...maybe I'll order a blade thrower or two from you one of
these days...

Subject: Re: [TheBladeThrower] Throwing with Gloves

Gloves take away a little precision but not enough to matter. I always wear gloves when I throw in the winter. Wearing thick gloves while throwing was what gave me the idea to put socks on my hands in my video...(there's now a clip posted in the group files of me doing that, for those who haven't checked them out)...

Does anyone but me ever have the problem of getting burrs on the blade when throwing by the blade, and having them cut your index finger open on the release?

I also did some with Long range half spins, Sliding my finger throught the cutting edge...

 

A wonder, cause what would be a Mutillating release became as simple as drinking a Coke (or, in England, a Guiness).

 

And the knife Stuck Marvellouslly in the target, all the time. Actually, as its Sharp, it stuck Deep.

 

 

So, this is a New (again, for Me) approach for throwing knives, cause with the gloves I can throw Any knife, without having to blunt it (oh, for sure, too hard or too thin knives will Brake, but some of mine are Not too hard or too thin...).

 

Would like to haves some opinions....

Roy,

There's an indicator towards the bottom of the "files" page that says what the total we're allowed is, and each individual file also shows how much space it is using. When I checked it said we were 49 percent full, with everything on there now. I tried to only post the smallest of my clips. If I posted a few longer ones I could easily fill the group's space...

I just had an idea. We could start other groups for the express
purpose of posting video clips, etc., to get around the space limit.
For example, I could start one called Blade Thrower Two, Dalmo could
start one called Blade Thrower Three, etc., and post our clips to the
files section of those groups...just a thought.

Bobby,

People seem to respond to the clips on the combat knife throwing site,
as you always thought they would, so I guess it would be a good idea
for us to put as many as possible on there. Fill up the space.

Maybe some of the guys on this site could give us a few short clips to
go on that site, too? Anybody?

Also, come to think of it, we could link from the combat knife
throwing site to the files section here, or to another free group we
could start, and take advantage of this bit of free space we get, to
get in even more clips...
