Calling all knife experts!

[JoeFahey]

I first learned how to throw axes and knives at a Fort near me that has reenactors. I wanted to start throwing knives on my own for fun. I learned that knives that weigh ~200 grams are best for throwing. I guess this might get me into collecting knives, but for now, I want to get a god collection of throwing knives. Also, I might want to get throwing stars, or other related things. What do you suggest? Thanks!

Knives, yes. Throwing knives are a bit more obscure and less useful on a daily basis.

Sorry man, free bump for you.

Can't you use all knives for throwing?

I suppose you could, but I'd think it's best to use throwing knives.

Especially since you could damage your knife and throwing knives are usually pretty cheap (~$5 apiece, but sold in multiples usually)

sure you can. but it does not mean they are good for it. many are not balanced or made for throwing.

Im just conscerned about weight though. I was looking at these, http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/eComm...and&Brand=76&SKU=DBPAKLI7056&Cart=true and it looks like a nie deal, but how can I tell if they will be a good weight for throwing?
