Title: Throwing knife funny mishap
Post by: doggonemess on April 03, 2013, 05:21:17 pm

I was throwing knives the other day and one of sounded weird when it hit. I got closer and found out why...

I swear, I didn't sharpen the handle. Guess it proves how soft pine really is.

In case anyone wonders, the dark blob in the middle of the knife is a piece of bike inner tube. I doesn't seem to affect the flight characteristics, and deadens that PING noise when I miss and the knife bounces off.

Nice reverse score, the inner tube trick is cool
