I think I was born to "TK" (Throw Knives) like many of us watching movies and being impressed by the person throwing. When I was young from time to time I tried to stick my poor small pocket knife, but nothing serious. And last year I stepped up and bought "2 lonely, dusty throwing knives" in one of the two gunsmith shops where I live. The two "lonely/dusty knives" were expensive but I was happy buying my first real throwing knives. I spent a few months throwing them. At this time I did not know that other kinds of throwing knives existed. Other forms, other lengths, weights and so on. And I was rather happy to throw them. But I was not aware that they were too small (7-8 inches) and too light. Around the same time I got a computer and a web connection and I had the idea to look for throwing knives or "wurfmesser" on the Internet. BINGO! What a world! Of course I wanted to try something different than my first knives so I bought a Böker - 10 inch "Linder Flying Dart". Not very expensive. I became used to them for short range throws and only threw them for few month. Once more I felt like trying other kinds of knives so I bought another knife by Böker, the five "extra schwer model". But I was very disappointed. These throwing knives don't suit my own style. I was not able to throw or stick them well. I was disappointed because I spent money for nothing and I do not throw them any more. So I bought a model that I find verry beautiful! Even though they rust. They look like "viper" throwing knifes. With these I was rather happy from 12 feet. After a while I knew that I had to try something longer. I was fed up about spending money without being entirely satisfied. I decided to make some spikes using a piece of full d'inox (stainless steel) de 10 mm. I cut 5 pieces 40cm long. I made the handle out of this sort of plastic the butchers use to cut the meat on. Very easy to build, totally cheap and good sensations. After a while I decided to buy an "expensive" knife and I chose another by Böker, the Night Dragon (30cm; 270g). Finally! A knife I feel totally well with. If I don't use too much power, it often goes straight on in the target. I feel very good at one and half turns and two and half. I know now what will be in my stocking at Christmas! Article Contributed by: Phillipe Catania Corsica, France Maitrelanceur@aol.com
