Cascade Crew

So a few weeks ago my friend watched The Expendables for the first time, he commented how he always wanted to throw knives. So he went and picked up a set of cheappy knives, and we started throwing, Well I took to it quick like and bought a couple sets, I learned my lesson about off brands and got a crash course on carbon content, heat treatments, and all the other fun scientific junk. So I picked up a varity of Cold Steel stuff.

I've gotta say, I HATE their advertisements (got a free dvd when i bought my first one. But their stuff holds up great (minus Tosh.0 haha)

Here's my first two knives I got
(The one with a corded grip is by far my favorite so far, True Flight Thrower) and the other with the red tape is a Shanghai Shadow. Got as a birthday present last week.

The Shanghai Shadow broke on me (they advertise the knife being bent 90 degrees) it Hit on the side and snapped on my target.

Cold Steel stands behind it, they are sending me a new one that should be here tomorrow.

Here's the rest of the fleet I got last week. All of the axes are throwing ones, and all the black knives (minus the camo grip one) are throwers, and one second up from the bottom is a replica from the expendables.

Idk if anyone else is intrested in this kinda stuff, if you are I'm all ears on opinion's on other knives/axes

Learned to throw black powder rifles? Laughing

Course after you shoot them once they arent much good for anything else unless you have time..

Hawks are one of the more fun thing's to throw, hard not to stick one, the big black axe is a Cold Steel Trench Hawk, when it hits it drills in deep to the target, only bad thing is the polypropylene handle helps it fly back at you quick if you mess up, my friend got a pretty good bruise from it hitting him, lucky he didn't get the metal part otherwise he wouldn't be walking right now.

How was it throwing black powder rifles? Do you throw from the barrel or stock? lol.

I've never measured, just played with my grip and distance till I got it down. I can stick 75% of the time. Right now im trying to work on my no-spin. They say its pretty easy and my friend got it down in no time, but I just can't get it right yet.
