Well Curtis I have right around 500 throwers in my collection and the knife your speaking of was also made by several other companies with different company...
If no one has mentioned it (I've been away for a few days), I'll say that I think you are obsessing too much about tempering. A throwing knife can vary a lot,...
Well Curtis I just created a folder and the McEvoy and German Edgemark that I was speaking about are in there, it is in a folder called My Throwers, I will try...
Matthew. Cheers for that. Will keep that in mind. I think the design is strong enough not to use it. It's not like trial and error is a real pain (ooh darn,...
Hi Sam.. Actually, I mis-spoke (even of my opinion which together with $1 or so these days *might* buy you a cup of coffee...) I said 44-50 was pretty much...

Hi Dalmo, A belt sander is the best tool for finishing the face of the blade. I used to hand sand my knives before I bought a belt sander. NOT FUN! As for...

Carl, I just checked the scores on Scott's page. These are great for general results but only have the final score which includes "ninja stuff". To keep the...
Hi all. Well, after 2 days of grinding, I'm a thorough advocate of the 4 1/4 angle grinder. It's great to use, and you've got so much more freedom than if you...
