When I was a youngster I read one of the Leatherstocking books in which somebody threw a tomahawk at somebody. (It’s been decades. Except for Hawkeye or Chingachgook, who remembers the character’s names? Not I.) Whoever it was reached out at chest level and caught the hawk’s handle just before it split his skill. Then he threw it back, killing the first guy.

I was already throwing hatchets. But I added to my skill set by deliberately throwing the hatchet so that it would stick with the handle above the blade. Catch that, you tricky redskin! (N.B., this was before political correctness.) Tomahawk fights were rare in my neighborhood, but adding a new hawk-hurling skill-set was fun.

Sweet pics.

As a bonus, if you hit at the end of the handle, it shouldn't come back at you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I had even thought of sharpening that spot to see if it sticks there.

Hey Vic,

I figured out your throwing issues and how to resolve them; just drink 8 beers and try again.....all will be good! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It works for machetes. Thanks for reminding me. Maybe tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I'm seriously jealous! I missed out on getting one of these, and I've wanted one for so long!

Nice lanyard and pics!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My CA is starting to get a good workout now, with kydex anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
