Adam,

Vaulander here makes a great point. If you can find one of us who lives
near you on Throwzini's site under local throwers or by asking in here
you could visit and try out dozens of blades before having to shell out
any hard earned money. Many of us have dozens or more sets lying around
to play with. This would be perfect for you to experiment with new toys.

My personal thoughts on sets is to shop for a set to last years even if
it costs a bit more money. I've been using my Koch Bullets for 3 years
now and they are battle scared but still perfectly usable. Joe's
Gryphons are great knives and reasonably priced, Cold Steel's 14" Pro
Flights are also good if a bit light for me. Bill Page would make you
just about anything you might need as well.
