..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.. Unsub, aww man.. how much $ do their new throwers go for? how does the 1050 steel compare with your good 'ol Carbon V ?

If you didn't know, you can get CS stuff on eBay much cheaper than from dealers, shows, or CS themselves.

oh! i didn't get my CS DVD yet! those scoundrels!
hey have you seen those low-cost non-metal "resin" knife line?
FGX line i think they're called..
they're sooo politically incorrect!
i've considered the resin karambit.. as a neat flipping toy.

I have a Carbon V thrower but my only 1050 blade is the Sting from CRKT.
The carbon V is just as tough and has better edge retention to boot.
You don't really need edge retention on a thrower but it is nice if you put an edge on it and use it as a tactical knife. The carbon V thrower makes a wicked tactical knife because of the great blade shape and general toughness.

FGX line i think they're called..they're sooo politically incorrect! Yeah, I have several of them. I bought two of the FGX T handle knives, and I was disappointed in their quality. They’re certainly no Stealth Hawk. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Like most of Cold Steel’s stuff, their quality is declining. They’re more interested in profits than quality. The T handles ones I bought were too bendy and thin. I have an older CAT tanto, and it’s much sturdier. Here most of my plastic knives. I have a few more, but I couldn’t find them all when I took the pic. I got my first plastic knife when I was about 12 or so.

Andy.. wow you pretty much got 'em all.. i forget the name of the Resin they use.. "halonite" or something?
What's the weight on those? really light?

ok Andy my bad..
CS calls it "Grivory"..
>>
Made from Grivory™— the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic, and stronger than even the super tough Zytel® we have used in earlier models— they are UV and heat stabilized, making them impervious to the elements.
<<
i understand the handles are still Kraton..
so.. is the new Grivory really better than the old Zytel?
