Enjoying no spin knife throwing so much at the moment, that I got myself throwing spikes for indoors... ... Manix does not get thrown, but is in my pocket.

There's something about these lines and forms that makes me think of Jaguar E-Type or Spitfire.

... It's just iconic.

It's true. I can't stop carrying her.

Had to make an emergency barn run early this morning. My mare got into a scuffle with another horse and got her butt kicked, literally and figuratively. Cleaned up some cuts and gave her pain meds, and hopefully in a few days she'll be sore, but fine.

Pimped my Shaman!

I was carrying one of my Mantras at work yesterday with the Salt 2 Wharncliffe in my locker.

Today, it's looking like my PM 2, CE 52100 in the pocket and a Para 3, S 90V in reserve.

The Final Cut.
This rubber insulating glove did not pass the high voltage test.
It's difficult to cut and full cut with single push is almost impossible.

Excited. Just found a boxing gym that recently opened back up. Might learn how to throw a real hook now :D

Thank you Featherblade! It was a magical time for sure, and i was grateful to have been there for it.

Today,

Carrying Still my most favorite. Saw the blue & ran in to grab my camera. The beautiful lady, or handsome gent, stayed there the whole time. State insect - Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly.
Thank you beautiful Butterfly

Throwing spikes??!! I'm gonna have to look into those! We've been having a lot of fun throwing hatchets and the Spyderthrowers lately.

Definitely get some! They are fun for shorter distances and actually pretty cheap too (don´t know the choices in the US, but I purchased these ones https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FBGRVKB?tag ... th=1&psc=1)

Though as far as I can recall you and your husband do full spin throwing, right?
I prefer "no" spin anyway (actually more "quarter spin", but the point is, that the point (pun intended ) is always facing forward, so the knife does not rotate) - and I think perhaps the spikes are perhaps generally better suited for that technique

I did not find much in how to throw spikes no spin, but this video shows it pretty well: https://youtu.be/a-9cKkb5PTQ&t=31s
Starting at 0:30 already the lady throws some spikes, and you can see that they don´t actually fully rotate, but just fly in an arch, tip always facing forward.
At about 2:45 she tries a longer distance: Again, no full rotation.

Another good thing with spikes: They are really easy to take with you and bring anywhere, for spontanous throwing (not only indoors)

EDIT: Just saw: At about 4:00 in the vid the differences between no spin and rotational throwing gets explained
