    Default Any Knife Throwers?

    I went to the rennisance festival last weekend and found out I was a lot better at throwing knives than i thought i was... so i bought some throwing knives! I feel like a kid again im waiting for them to arrive so i can start throwing again. Just wondering if anyone actually does it a lot. I wasnt as good with the hatchets but the guy teaching us didnt really teach that well. either way throwing bladed objects is a blast!

    I used to compete in Hawk throwing when I was in my early teens at rendezvous' along with Black Powder shooting. Never got into knife thorwing much. Lots of fun!

    Ive thrown them in competition some. They are usually really nice and give me some neat stuff. I throw the tomahawk some as well.

    And mazin, your 550 wrap was better than stock btw...

    Ok so on to the fulcrums. anybody have any experience with these? They have the adjustable weights that slide up the grip. I'm getting good distance with the pictured knives, probably 25 feet or something. and my first throws with the fulcrums set all the way back, I was getting good hits at 30 or so.. you really have to wing those things, but they fly well. I want to start getting good at this... any tips etc?

    More into throwing hawks/axes. Estwing Boy's axes are good little throwers. Don't have any "throwing knives". Most any fixed blade I have has been thrown more than once. SKS spikes are pretty good throwers and cheap.
