LOOK WHAT I MADE THIS WEEKEND :D

i got bored, sooo i started playing around with my pocket knife, throwing it at a cardboard box repeatedly, trying to get it to stick (i like play with sharp things, dont judge me :paranoid:)
as I did this (with little success,) i realized i needed a proper throwing knife for this type of thing,

so i spent a few hours researching throwing knives / how to make them, (originally i was wanting to actually forge one with a fire+hammer, but it would have been more difficult to do.. maybe next time)

well now i gotta practice using this baby 8)
(i hope to make some different throwing knives in the future ^_^)

the knife is about 10" long,
(interesting fact: this was actually made from the piece of a broken chair)

Time Taken:
- 5-6 hours sawing out the crude knife
- another several hours spent filing it
- a little over 1 hour spent sanding it

Tools Used:
- vicegrip
- a hand saw
- a coping saw (who's blade snapped halfway thru sawing >.> )
- a large variety of metal files
- 150 fine sandpaper (i should have gotten some different grains =.= )

Not bad for a first go. Hope its heat treated though, or it could bend on you. Can't wait to see your next one. Oh, and check out this place for some advice.
