Advice On Making Throwing Knives
I've just started throwing knives and would like to make my own. I was hoping for advice on what to use and how to make my throwing knives.
What type steel should I use? Should I forge them or do stock removal? Do I heat treat them and if YES what do you recommend for the suggested steels? Please feel free to email me at joe.schwatka@navy.mil Thank you for any and all help! Joe

I would start with just mild scrap steel. maybe not use HTed steel at all. Chuckin a knife tends to go against what a knife is made for and wouldnt put alot of time into HT or steel choice. If your forging, try a HC RR spike and water harden it. It wont hold a great edge but thats not what your looking for anyway.
