Guys

Bit sparce on posts here.  Lets be having some.

I see we are getting some spam on here.   I will block it soon, as I
get the know how.

Its now time to brush the cobwebs off the targets and get the fine rust
off the knives.(I really shouldnt leave my knives in the cold garage
through the winter).   Its now time to get the knives flying again.
Dalmo and Ralph, I will get around to sending you a knife each soon I
hope.

Time sure does fly, its months since ive thrown, the rain has hardly
given us a break here.   O to live in a dry country.

Whats happening out there, long time no hear, get those keyboards oiled
and lets have some news.

Roy

Nova Scotia Canada!!!!!

Its a pretty nice idea, Roy

 

And I´m sure you not only will be around, but would compete and Be competitive...

 

Do you have sugestions for the rules already???

We could have an on line competition, just to check the idea and warm up...

And Ralph and Patrick

Wish you both success with the new site, if I can help you, just ask me...

Roy,

 

The new website isn't mine or Bobby's. It is going to be done by a newcomer named Patrick. It will feature shuriken throwing and our type of knife throwing. He would like to have bio of you and Dalmo for sure; I have already discussed it with him. Part of the goal of that site will be to bring throwers around the world together. I will write a bio for you if you like. I doubt he would mind a mention of the Blade Thrower group, of which you are the founder, so it might be a good way to direct people to this group as well.

I figure it's likely to arrive next week.

Quality throwing knives are practically impossible to find here. A
bayonet will run you at least $50 and are mostly shorter models.Most
current bayonets are garbage as they have interior holes to help snap
the blade anyway.

Quality throwing knives are practically impossible to find here. A
bayonet will run you at least $50 and are mostly shorter models.Most
current bayonets are garbage as they have interior holes to help snap
the blade anyway.

I will check Bobby's pictures.

 

Its interesting to look at things that "vanished"from our life, some days ago I found a picture of my Second car, a 1974 burgundy Chevette, the pic was took from my late father, back then he was 50 and I 20.

 

I would like to have that car back, it was a very nice small car to drive, very good on turns and rear drive, I prefer these kind of cars cause you can make them Power Slide through corners (mainly in the old times with narrow tires).

 

Good memories. Nowadays most cars are front drive, they are more economic to produce and easyer to drive for average people...

 

I like bowies, also, but the are a bit Too heavy for my taste. Bowies, for spin throwers, usually have a Heavier blade, making them better for Handle throwing.

 

Looks that the Americans started to throw them in the Civil war, and maybe its dued to this that they were iniatilly more turned to Handle throwing, while Europeans, with the Circus heritage, were more turned to Blade throwing...

 

Best regards, good Easter, and a good Easter to your wife, daughter and grandchildren

Ive just seen an old friend.    A knife, more or less the same as the bowie I made in the year 1961 and was my main half-spin thrower, until it was stolen from me some time later.    The pic of the knife is shown on Bobbys knife selection labelled " a collection of tru-bal knives from his fathers collection.  Its the knife shown on the far right of the pic.     I have no idea of the weight/size of the knife in the pic, but mine was 16 inchs long and weighed nearly two pounds, but exactly the same.   I smiled when I saw the pic.

 

Many a door was ruined by that knife, it was so heavy, and I was very strong at that time, that it would penetrate through right up to the hilt from a half spin throw at anywhere from 10ft. out to 16ft.    If I remember correctly, it was too heavy to use longer distances, because of the problem of reducing the spin rate, due to the weight.     

 

After that knife went missing, I started making knives that were very similar to the knives use today, lighter, narrower,and between  12  and 15inchs long.

These are the ones that have proved to be the best for spin-control out to distances of about 30ft, give or take a few feet either way for a particular design.    Good feel and slideability is all important with half-spin throwing, so too wide a knife makes the "feel" awkward.  

 

I often wonder who has my big bowie now.

About Bobby Branton By Ronald K. White: As a young man growing up in rural South Carolina, Bobby Branton developed a passion for knives that has stayed with him throughout his adult life. In his younger years, knives were tools used for skinning game, filleting fish and throwing as a means of entertainment. Then in 1983, edged weapons took a different perspective in Bobby's life when he discovered some custom knives in a local shop.

He was amazed at the beauty and craftsmanship of these handcrafted blades and started his own collection. His interest grew so readily that he read every book he could locate on the subject and decided to try his hand at knife making. After constant reading, research and collecting of knives, Bobby reconstructed his shop in order to create these treasured handcrafted knives.Through his research he discovered one common factor, a man named George Herron. He was a master craftsman who had a seven year wait for his custom knives. Mr. Herron soon befriended Bobby and soon a close bond formed between the two craftsman.  Bobby has become an expert knifemaker and was awarded his "Journeyman Bladesmith" stamp at the 1992 Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia by the American Bladesmith Society. Bobby met legendary blademaker Harry K. McEvoy in 1987. McEvoy taught Bobby the fine art of handcrafting throwing knives, he also helped design Bobby's first series of throwing knives. Bobby has since designed several models of throwing knives that have been used to win major knife throwing competitions across the country. Another turning point in his career was when Bobby met knife throwing legends Paul LaCross and Kenneth Pierce (Che Che Whitecloud). LaCross was billed as "The Worlds Foremost Knife, Axe and Tomahawk Thrower". It was Paul who taught and motivated Bobby to put together a throwing exhibition which he performs throughout the south east. LaCross retired in 1990 due to health reasons and passed away in 1992. In 1996 with the help of Stephen McEvoy, Kenneth Pierce and his wife Nancy and a few close friends, Bobby was instrumental in reorganizing the American Knife Throwers Alliance and held what has been arguably the first knife and tomahawk throwing only contest in over 20 years. He has assisted numerous individuals in starting knife throwing contest around the world. in contest Kenneth Pierce still comes down to visit Bobby and his wife Brenda once a year to assist in preparations for the AMERICAN KNIFE THROWERS ALLIANCE National Championships each year and is one of the clubs biggest supporters. Bobby has been promoting the art of knife throwing by giving seminars on the subject of knife throwing since 1996. Also, in 1996 Bobby was awarded the South Carolina State Folk Heritage Award for the work in Bladesmithing and for preserving the traditions of South Carolina. While promoting knife throwing to the general public, Bobby has taught thousands of Boy Scouts and even a number of Army Rangers as well as few celebrities the fine art of knife throwing Over the years Bobby’s knives have been featured in most of the Knives annuals and he and his work have been featured in other publications such as Knife World, Blade Magazine, Tactical Knives, Knives Illustrated and South Carolina Wildlife.  Bobby has been a consultant to a number of production companies who sought out his expertise in knife throwing for shows such as Guinness book of world records, Fear Factor, That’s Incredible, Maxim magazine and Men's Health magazine. Bobby has authored four articles on the subject for Blade Magazine® and one article for The 5th annual Levine's guide to knives.  These days, Bobby can still makes throwing knives in addition to his line of tactical knives. Bobby has become fascinated with the skill of fellow thrower Ralph Thorn who has authored a book and produced a DVD on no spin, combat knife throwing. Bobby has veered away from competitive knife throwing and focuses most of his time producing high quality throwing and tactical knives and practicing Ralph's no spin style of throwing with knives of his manufacture designed he sport. He hopes to have a commercial version ready for his fellow throwers by August, 2008.   I hope this is what you are looking for. Bobby

Hi Ralph, Nope I haven't gotten it yet. What knives are you using in
your first video, the duct taped bare metal ones? They look like
longer ones i've seen before but chopped off about halfway.I can't
seem to find them online at least...

I'm progressing again, by the way, I had great weather this week
except today as I woke up to about 3 inches of snow and a friggin
blizzard. I'm starting to throw with the left but with a lot of
moderation for obvious reasons.

Now I'm trying my hand at making knives too cause Bobby's are too
expensive plus shipping to CAN!! I've got two nice ones coming
along,I just used big files, and when the weather improves i'll
temper them again and try to get a picture up. I should try to make
some videos or something for your website as i technically still
count as "young blood" at least to this group ha ha ha!

I just got invited to a party, how nice, gotta get on that.

Cheers

I hope you get students to teach.   You are the most interested thrower I know who loves to learn new methods.

 

Winter is nearly over here, we can tell because the rain gets warmer,ha ha.  Now send us the sun.

 

I will do pics of "Flying Officer Kite" and his bow as soon as I get the chance.

 

My new air-pistol designs will probably never get into production.   There is no spare money about, and nobody will invest in such a product.   I dont worry about that, its only a part time project, and I dont really have the energy and years to see a new product through.   My fishing gear takes all my time and effort, and an effort is what it is at my age of 71.

 

Pics as soon as possible, as well as a knife for you and Ralph that I have not sent yet.

 

Take care my friend.

 

Roy

Hi, Roy, I just imagine how easy it is for you to translate Portuguese :) !

 

This is just a trick, I want to sell knife teaching in Brazil, by putting this email on yahoo I will have people here Finding it while writting "Cursos de Arremesso de Facas", Knife Throw Teaching...in any searching engine. At least , thats what I Wait for...

 

BTW, how are you? Did the winter finished in England? Down here we had lots of Rain, now its Very hot, and looks that the rain ended for a while. It rained Hard for a hole week, no chances for throwing knives...

 

Other task, are you Selling your air pistols? Some friends here are shooters and would possibly like to buy some. The biggest gauge allowed in Brazil is 5,5 mm.

 

Oh, and I still wanna see some pics of you bows, Mainly the compound one that makes you look like a RAF version of Rambo. With a Moustache Rambo never had...

 

Best regards

 

Dalmo

To All,

A thrower in our style will be starting a website soon using
my "WAWT" (World Association of Weapons Throwers) concept and logo,
with my approval and support, of course.

One of the purposes of the site is to act as a clearinghouse for our
type of throwers to get together. We would like to post little
biographies of those who would like to show their interest and
support for weapons throwing.

Anyone who would like to participate just needs to respond to this
group mail with their name (or nickname if they prefer, or both),
their general geographic area, their year of birth, and a little note
about what kind of throwing they like to do, why, what weapons they
prefer, their activities, or whatever. You might also include your
email address if you would like other throwers to be able to contact
you.

Of course we would especially like Bobby Branton, Roy Hutchison and
Dalmo Mariano to give us some bios, but everyone else is welcome to
put their name out there as well. Just because someone doesn't post
as much or do as much publicly as some of us older throwers doesn't
mean they don't count, in fact, I think we would really like to see
some of the "young blood" get busy and show their stuff.

Thanks,

Ralph Thorn
