Re: Throwing Knives
Kalashnikovcult, As I mentioned in my first post. Bought them from an old shop in Hong Kong about 15 years ago. Cant remember the name of the shop but it was somewhere near Temple Street.

Hi Moin,
The knives are around 9 inches long. Yes I have thrown these and three more that I got made here by copying the broadhead and two designs I saw in old knife magazines. The copies didn't last long and I dumped them after I was done with all my knife throwing.
Yes I throw quite well

Cool Flipping a Balisong and learning to throw is something that I always wanted to learn but never got down to it. Was stumped by Jason Statham's knife throwing in the Expendables

@ Moin:
The Expendables, Jason Statham in the last knife throwing scene:
You know what? I'm gonna do you a favor, Tool. I once knew a man called Tool...
To me, he was the epitome of cool.He was good with a knife...bad with the wife.
To think he could beat me, dreamin' he'd defeat me, Cool Tool, you gotta be a fool!Oh yeah!
Bull's eye!!!!

Moin,
I flip the butterfly too and I bought my first one in Philippines in 1989. Later got another one, probably Muela.
I think someday I should put up pictures of my weird collection. Never get the energy. Basically I am too lazy

PS: Moin, do you remember Enter The Dragon ??

I've seen the movie several times only for the fantastic blades by Gil Hibbens, the huge bowie, the arkansas tootchpick, the large cutthroat razor and ofcourse the awesome knife throwing by Statham.....Knife pron at its finest

Man, you've travelled places.... You should post pics of your collection... An orginal balisong, is it a tourist souvenior or a good quality blade. Would love to see some pics..The Muela ones are very strange, saw a few at Saleh arms, the owner calls them "Ninja Knives"...
Yes I do remember Enter the Dragon, all bruce lee, don't remember seeing any knives, except the last scene with the Baghnakh like contraption teh villian wears Don't tell me you have one
And how and where did you learn to flip ??????????????????????????. I tried some stunts after watching a youtube video and cut myself like a fool....

Re: Throwing Knives
No, i quite like it when you show up.And yes, the movie does have some terrific throwing and gunfights.
I take it butterfly knives are banned here?
TC, please summon the energy to post, that we may dream about what we cannot have.

Re: Throwing Knives
Thanks Moin for all the appreciation. Yes I have seen a few places and it was during these trips that I picked up a few pieces. But Let me assure you, Rajat and other knife lovers in the forum that you guys have given much more to your passion than me. I was always more into guns. The first balisong I bought in Manila was from a knife maker - a real genius. He taught me how to flip. Philippines, during those days, was a haven for gun and knife lovers. There was virtually no restriction. In fact years later I came in acquaintance with a gun dealer while doing a course at Asia School of Business. The man had given a gold plated H&K MP5 sub-machine gun to president Ferdinand Marcos as birthday gift .... His wife Imelda Marcos however had a different passion. After her government was overthrown by the people and the military the masses raided her palace and discovered five or six rooms stacked with shoe racks.... a few thousand pairsMan, you've travelled places.... You should post pics of your collection... An orginal balisong, is it a tourist souvenior or a good quality blade. Would love to see some pics..The Muela ones are very strange, saw a few at Saleh arms, the owner calls them "Ninja Knives"...

Will try to get over my laziness and post pictures of my pieces.... My wife is a great photopgrapher. Will seek her help. Oh... I too am a big time fan of Jason Statham.
Cheers
