Homemade Throwing Knife

How to make this throwing knife showed the author. He works as a blacksmith and forges knives for friends in his spare time. This piece he made of steel arne, a metal that is often used for the claws of a bulldozer. The knife is quite long (33 cm) and heavy (400 g), but the proportions are balanced, and the center of gravity is in the middle. The edges are all rounded, and also the end of the handle is rounded. The curved handle will fit well in your palm. Grip on the blade, which is very reliable and complete due to the curved blade, gives you full flexibility. The knife has a thickness of 4 mm and becomes thinner towards the tip, which makes it well sticking. The long tip shape also helps. It’s quite funny to throw this knife, with its good looks and flying characteristics. Now I will show you how he makes it.

Grinder or hacksaw for metal, cuts out the shape of a knife

Step 2. Cut the desired size

Uddeholm Arne steel 6 mm thick is used. But the knife should be about 4 mm thick, so it should be chopped. Use a dust mask for protection.

Step 3. Drill holes for weight balancing

At this point, he made holes on the handle so that the center of weight is in the middle. He makes a hole and puts the knife in the middle at some angle and he should not fall, but stand straight.

Step 4: Final Stage

Rounds edges and forms a blade. That's all the knife is ready (you can harden it for more strength)
