Throwing knife
This is the first throwing knife I've tried to make. It's 10 in. overall with a Paul Bos heat treat out of A2, 5/32 steel. I have the balance point on center 5 inches. Anyone wishing to comment on balance points or anything else, I would like to hear from you.
Thanks for looking, Jerry |

In my experience, as long as the balance point is somewhere within the middle third of the knife, you are good to go.
Nice Knife. |

Looks nice, have you tested it yet? I've always heard that balance is a personal to the thrower.

Most throwers, that I have seen are little blade heavy. But that is a personal thing.
It sure is nice looking. A good ruggid looking frame handle and a real pretty grind. __________________ Scott B.

Thanks guys, I might be on the right track with it. I can still take off some of the handle if need be. The only test I have done is dropping it from about 11 feet high and it just starts to nose over at the ground. I've had quite a few people at the shop enquire about throwing knives, so I thought I would try one, but I don't know anyone off hand to actually throw it. My shoulders don't want me to do that. Thanks on your comments, it does help.
