Joe's Collection
From Joe Darrah

Joe has one of the biggest and diverse collections I've seen! Right now he has about 650 throwers and he's still collecting. From the small "floaters" to the hard to find McEvoy throwers... he's got a little of just about everything!!!

This is Joe at the target board!

knife throwing collections
From the cheaper "floaters" to the hard to find knives. The bottom row contains some great knives like the Dragons and John Bailey's StarLight and TanKri knives. It also contains hard to find throwers like the ones made by Case and Tru Bal!

throwing knives
These knives were all made by Jeff Koch from Waterloo, IA.
Kukris, Bowies and Daggers, Oh My! :-)

Here are some more designs from Jeff Koch.

Some knives made by Col. Udell and also 2 from Jeff Koch (Can you pick them out???? They are the 2nd and 3rd designs from the top!)

Dan Dennehy Knives
Above are 3 designs made by Dan Dennehy! The top knife has leather handle slabs (signed by Dan himself), the middle is a double ended throwing knife and the 3rd pic is a thrower with micarta handle slabs. Mr. Dennehy makes beautiful knives and is also one of the original founding members of the American Knife Makers Guild!

On the left is a tomahawk made in Czechoslovakia that Joe customized by burning a snake onto the handle. On the right is a knife from Frank Dean (a famous Impalement Artist) and to the right of that is a copy of that same knife made by Joe Darrah.

Customized Cold Steel TFT
Here is a what used to be a Cold Steel True Flight Thrower. But Joe thought it might work a little better without the black coating, cord grip and rounded handle :-)

Custom Knives

Brokenfeather feather
Here is a knife called a "Brokenfeather" made by Brokenfeather!

knives
Joe did just a tad bit of customizing on the following knives..
The top knife used to be an SKO Model #3 and the bottom blade is a design from Bruce Reisner of PA. Joe calls this knife "The Klingon"! Makes me feel like "sword fighting" when I see it! :-)

Joe Darrah knife throwing collection
The one is really nice, very sturdy but has really sharp edges on the sides.

titanium throwing knives
Here are two small titanium throwing knives that Joe recently made. They are extremely light but still fun to throw once you get the hang of them!

Screaming Eagles
Here is a design that Joe came up with back in the early days called the "Screaming Eagle" and its named after the 101st Airborne unit his Dad was in.

Mountain Man Knives
These are some mountain man knives made by Wolf, Black River Knives and Jeff Koch. "Mountain man knives" must have 1 sharp edge, and have a handle made of "period material" which means if it wasn't around in 1840... you can't use it! Some examples of acceptable handle materials are bone, antler, wood, rawhide and leather.

Rendezvous throwers
Here are a few more mountain man designs that can be thrown at the rendezvous events. The middle knife is made by Mike Kolisch of the Rocky Mountain Knife and Tomahawk Association. Check out www.rmkta.com for details about the club! Or click on the CLUBS/EVENTS link. The RMKTA, as well as a few other clubs are listed there.

Harry McEvoy knives
All of these knives were made by the late Harry McEvoy of the Tru Bal Knife Company. They are some of the most sought after throwing knives anywhere you go and for good reason. They are great knives as well as a part of knife throwing history!

More knives made by Harry McEvoy.

McEvoy, Edgemark, Olsen throwers
And finally, the top knife shown is a McEvoy, the 2nd knife down is an Edgemark, the 3rd is an Olsen and the 4th is a sterile Olsen Viet Nam Era knife! I guess you know you have a good design when other companies start copying it :-)

I was lucky enough to throw just about all of the Tru Bal knives in Joe's collection when I went to Gary Draper's house and met up with Joe and a few other throwers. The top knife in this picture (a Tru Bal) threw amazingly well for me! 1/2 spins, full spins, it seemed whatever number of spins I went for it flew outta my hand and stuck with authority! I love days like that!

Throwing knives designed and made by Joe Darrah of Brokenfeather Custom Knives.
And these are some of Joe's latest creations. Joe sent me this pic in June of 2005 and said he had made all of those knives in the past few months. Keep up the great work bud!
