Right on Mr. Randolph! Have you ever gone to Jantz's website? It's http://www.jantzsupply.com/ and they have all sorts of supplies to make your own knives like knife hobby sets, handle materials, different types of barstock like stainless steel, tool steel, "Damascus" pattern welded steel, Mokume-Game pattern welded metals etc.

I think you'd like it.

That is very cool. Nice work. No they wouldn't let anyone get away with it today. When I was in HS metal shop as a Freshman (84-85) we made "throwing stars" out of sheet metal--if you got caught it was detention. Anyway--I think I still have mine somewhere.

Here are a few more items from my collection. The big one is a Mortal Kombat "Raptor" knife made for the movie. Cool looking but not really practical (poorly balanced--awkward grip). The ones on the left are a set of 3 Gil Hibben throwing knives made famous by Steven Segal in "Under Siege." The "hatchet" is a "throwing axe." Yes it sticks... The odd shaped one next to the Raptor is for "skinning." The "T shaped" one--put it in your fist and--well you get the idea... On the left is a cheap switchblade and the little guy on the right is a Gerber pocket knife bought at the local Dick's sporting goods.

The blade alone on this Fer is 11 inches! It is very similar to the one used in Rambo III. I bought it as a novelty collectors piece. Not practical. Very "blade" heavy--more like a sword. One could use two hands and "slash" with it. Also not sure of its legality in other states.

Nah I'd never do that honey. My B/F at the time said I had a crazy look in my eyes. Not in my heart.

S&W .500 has more power though with better accuracy.
