Great tutorial! 🎉

The best thing about a handle on a throwing knife is the fact that it dampens the loud clang of a bad throw. I prefer leather scales but unless the knife has small holes on the handle your going to either have to drill some or go with a cord wrap. Good stuff 👍

Damn they do look cool with the cord. I want to try a chinese cord like the one they use for the Storm in TEDojo. You know, like you said, that chinese vibe

Western "spin" throwing knives typically start at 12". I polled the community a while back. I think the preferred length of a competition throwing knife is either 13 or 14 inches. I'd have to double check. That being said, a 9.5" knife may not be allowed in competitions due to the minimum length rules. I've done a little prototyping myself and have found that every single aspect of design should have an explanation. In addition, to achieve optimal performance, the technique, grip, and mechanics need to compliment the object being thrown. I feel many modern designs lack this context (or it is never there to begin with) and it is left to the thrower to optimize the technique to match the blade. A good (well known) example of this is the arrow design by Tom Tom. He designed the knife for his technique which he explains in detail. It is easy to say a technique can throw any knife, but the reality is results will vary depending on how close a design is to what is considered optimal for a specific technique.

How do you feel about the cold steel sure flights

Beautiful knife. Acejet always shows quality. Maybe for military halfspin it would be a fun one to throw

Your videos are great. I made a lot of purchases based on your videos. I also bought the knife roll it’s awesome. Can you do a video on Skanf throwing technique? … And what knives you recommend for Skanf. Thank you, Michael

awesome

Best reviews of throwing knives out there mate!

Just ordered 6 from temu. I hope they are worth it😂 but anyway originals cost 60€/3 axes and temu sells them 20€/3 axes so if they last only one summer its ok😅

Hello there! What's your opinion on the surface finish? I leave mine rough for better handling or grind them with 240 belts, but they become kinda slippery.

Nice ones! A lovely shape-one of Acejet's cool models. A couple of SMARs might also work on that hard wood. Must try...😊

Wulflund and Delta2alpha has a ton of throwing knive sets just as good as Acejet. Also for ideas you can try throwing hurlbats, 5 to 7 point stars and stainless batwings from Karatemart and them throwing angels from England. Angels and Hurlbats are very hard to find and get but are worth it!

Do a video on the IRON TRAIN throwing knife from AMAZON.

Oh good, you're looking for informative comments. Ad10 and 4-max are great. No idea how you ended up specifically on demko designs but you did good. People will say "get a 5-max", don't mind them unless you're collecting. 5-max is a less practical 4-max. Full on demko is where you want to eventually be when you can get there. He's the guy who came up with your two knives and most of cold steel's best. A custom demko ad10 would be great for you since you already like it but that's usually a $2000 grail sort of knife. The most logical conclusion is to get an ad20, the greatest American folder.

Aesthetics for me are a big deal with throwing knives, so this and the stump hunter are not for me. Excited with the last one on the list!

Just love your vids. I like the honest reviews

hey i know this guy

Have the thunder from JXE JXO and they are perfect for my style of throw. Wanted some "dagger style" like this ones for halfspin and military but can't seem to find good ones in a budget in Europe. Sadly, JXE JXO only ships to my country the Thunder (or luckily, at least I have those) Also, I love the denomination for "dagger style" since it's exactly how I describe knives (arrowhead, dart, dagger, tanto, etc) and it doesn't seem to be the general consensus (people usually only go for "nospin, top heavy, balanced, etc)

I don't have a back yard live in apartments. Can I throw them at rabid dogs or drug crazed teens that attack me? Also I don't drink beer, can I use it for something else? Can of beans?

😂

Thank you for your reviews. Very helpful. Do you have any DXB Sport knives? If so can you please do reviews on them? Thank you!

Cant wait the shark tooth and the dagger

You're one of my favourite content creators when it comes to knife throwing. I think the way you express every quality and style of the knives, along with the best technique for each, is flawless. Thanks to you I bought the knives that I needed for each occasion (started with Ka-bar throwers for economic reasons and got a month ago the jxejxo thunder which are not cheap to ship to Spain but still cheaper than the customs I can get in EU) and I started in this hobby. Thanks mate and keep the good work!

He's back!!!!!!!

Great vids in perspective. Good to watch you again

My friend that I taught how to throw, always brought his metal detector when we'd throw after the first time he had to spend an hour looking for a bad throw. They go subterranean easily 😂

Lmao. N'est time bring à strong magnet. Maybe it will work.

Target other groups like outdoors, camping, recreation, hiking, etc fir more views too.

I hope all is OK with you and your channel, please make more videos .

Test and review tedojo blades.

Test wulflund van helsings axes and karatemart throwing angels axes

Vulture Blades are cool too!

Vulture Blades are awesome too, you should check them out.

I have those there fun for sure .. I didn’t know the title was fling… I call them Kuni cause that’s what they are

Long time no see.. Happy to watch you again. Merry christmas

Thanks for the video. I own all 3 of these knives and I always find myself gravitating back to the 4 Max Scout. Just something about that knife the screams PICK ME UP and USE ME! LOL... All 3 good blades actually. I have XL hands so perhaps that's why I like these big folders. I see that Midway USA is usually having sales as well! Careful of clones for the AD10, they are out there more than most.

Love your videos

Keep it up man

Calling a 4 Max absurdly large is quite funny when talking about Cold Steel folders. My Cold Steel Luzon has a 6 inch blade, the Espada XL has a 7.5 inch blade.

Great video but I have to add my two cents. Just got a bunch of D2 Stingers and managed to snap off 15mm of the tip on one of the knives during the second session. This is what I was worried about before I ordered. I was afraid hard tooling steel might be more brittle and prone to breaking rather than bending based on my experience with drill bits. It is great for maintaining an edge but I’m not fully convinced it’s the best metal for throwing. I don’t throw recklessly so this was pretty telling. I have a bunch of the spring steel knives (not stinger however) and they are super resilient, never had a problem with possibly over 10,000 throws. I’ve contacted Acejet to see if they can help me out. Haven’t heard anything yet so fingers crossed. Hopefully this was just a defect.

I just want to say thank you for all your videos. I am retired and you have inspired me and taught me a great deal of knowledge about the sport of knife throwing. I watched all your videos some a dozen times. Based on your expertise I bought the Arrow Jet D2 Stingers, Jxo Jxe Thunder, S&W Bulls Eye, Kizlyar Osetr plus the Vintage Craft Knife Roll. I can’t waist to throw my first knife this Summer. It’s too cold now for me to stay outside. Of all the knife throwers on KZbin, you are very sincere and spot on in your videos. Thanks Again. -Michael

Correction…. That Cold Steel AD10 isn’t compliant across the U.S. Knife Laws vary from State to State and City. For instance, in Chicago IL, it is illegal to carry any knife more than 2.5 inches.

Cold Steel: Hey Half Spin, do you wanna try out our new knives....

Knife laws are unconstitutional.

Thank you for your great video...I just purchased a set of Thunders! Appreciate your channel, thanks again for making these videos!

Thank you, I was on the fence on what to purchase and you solved my dilemma. So I bought the Acejet D2! Love your videos - easy to understand and no added fluff!

Idk 🤷🏽‍♂️ I got a set of these and I learned how to throw knives with them pretty quickly. Military half spin in particular, (which no, you don’t have to pinch grip them, grip is preference. I grip it with my thumb straight, flat across the knife) from any distance, and it worked out great. I also have a set of SOG fling throwing knives I throw pretty well with too. Idk I’d just say it’s preference.

Not worth the money by any stretch, you pay $300 for $30 worth of steel...

Im R lee cloer. Marine corps vet. And I would like to comment on the kbar thrower's. And if anybody who owns a throwing knife or practitioner of the sport, should also own a file or angle grinder to make them the sharpness they desire. They come blunt because of safety reasons which is smart. And better for everyone. Great knife. Would recommend to anyone who throws !
