Do you have cement floors? I’d be worried about a deflection and messing up the tip when it hit the floor. Not with Rats or Mutts probably, but cheaper throwing knives. That M6 coming back at my head scared me too. Need to get a riot mask and some protective gear when throwing. Hmmm, there’s a riot shield in my basement from Knob Creek. That would work too. I have a fireman helmet with a plastic impact face shield too. I found it at a Goodwill for $3!
