Stihl I Spun

No, Grasshopper, I do not remember across 50 years which brand of flying blades I favoured:

I was a lonely skinny spaz imprisoned with beefy scrum-halves and sadistic head-line bowlers.

I'd go into "The "Woods" and just throw and throw.

Wiki: "The art of knife throwing is easy to master with practice.

Fictional depictions such as movies typically portray thrown knives as traveling in a straight line from the thrower to the target, the point of the knife always forward.

This depiction is unrealistic, for unless the knife is fired, rather than thrown, it develops a rotation as it flies, making it difficult to predict whether the point or the handle will be facing toward the target when it strikes. Figuring these variables into calculations requires a good sense of distance and the ability to change the number of spins the knife undergoes before striking. These are skills that can be developed only after much practice."

I mail-ordered from catalogues of Hibben, Blazing Arrow and Colt; maybe others.

Anyway, I have a rack of them here with nothing going on. Suddenly today I mis-wielded the chainsaw and landed up with a perfectly angled target.

Other knife skills: Then there are the politer blade skills, the culinary cutters.
