    Anything coming from Heinnie Haynes is now outside the EU, so get's hit for import duties.

    I'm using Kilkenny Knives and Tools and knivesandtools.ie lately, quick shipping and a decent selection.

    afaik if it has a lock blade - most good knives do, then you could be stopped for carrying it in a public place, but that doesn't make it illegal. However to someone interpenetrating the law it might :mad:

    Yer pulling in UK law there. Non locking and under 3 inches and you don't need to justify it in public in the UK, no such law here. A simple swiss army could land you in trouble here.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Where could I get some throwing knives? I have always wanted to get good at that. It's a Magnificent 7 thing.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Thanks, just saw this reply now.

    What throwing knives would you recommend for a beginner? The microflight ones look the part.

    All knives are throwing knives if you are brave enough ;-)

    You can also throw screwdrivers, big nails, sharpened reinforcing steel, tomahawks....


    Decide what style you want to learn (Spin or no spin) and get a decent solid steel "knife" to learn with.

    Actually get the ones that come in sets of three, saves the legs walking to retrieve them.

    Set up a decent backstop, keep animals indoors (and kids I suppose), and have a go.

    You will have a sore arm the first few times, watch for knives bouncing back at you too.

    My favourite throwers atm are either cold steel or Colt branded ones, get a decent sized yoke with a bit of mass to it to help it stick (the odd time the point hits).

    The lads at JJT can get most stuff for you if asked, it's a bit close to Christmas now to guarantee you'll get them in time, but have a look online and ask the lads.

    Do get down the hardware or local "Deals" or equivalent, see if you can get some cheap screwdrivers or big nails to have a mess with whle waiting on a better set. Nicely made stuff with a spring temper does hold up better, don't get anything with handle scales attached as they will fail and fly off.
