I have a carbon V CS thrower and it is one of my favorite knives. I even put a nice edge on it. The only problem is you can't get carbon V from CS any more.
Their new throwers are 1050 which is good but not the screamming deal the old ones were.

I had no idea there would be interest in throwing stars so I will take some
(bad) pics while I make one this week. I don't do my own heat treat so it will be a while before it is totaly done but I will definitly show you guys how she throws before I send her awy. I have a belt grinder for knives but I will do the star with just a angle grinder with a cut off wheel and bench grinder for those of you who only have basic tools.
