Do you throw this from the blade or handle?

I looked it up before throwing and supposedly every 3 feet is half of a rotation of the blade. So I guess where you hold it depends on how far away from the target you are

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

It's a pretty heavy duty knife! By that I mean it's durable enough to throw, but it's heavier then a typical throwing knife. If there's a will, there's a way so I would say yes to your question.

If you hold the saw blade down, and turn the release, I have had the blade just fall free of the saw. If you hold it blade up, I can turn the release with my off hand and remove the blade with my free hand. I definitely can't say the blade is "Ejected", but it will fall free easily.

no. that's why I got this shovel. didn't want to jam my wrist with a handle. good push shovel. not much for throwing. when im done with the shovel I have to leave it on a rubber mat or it will leave a rust stripe on the concrete floor.

(Laughing) Sounds like a tech question. Not sure what the density of the steel is and I have not exactly put it through my personal quality control either. Never threw it around like a throwing knife, never tried using it as a pry bar or tried cutting copper pipes or anything. Since it's a fixed blade, it's not my everyday carry either. I put it in my tackle box and use it to cut squid or sea creatures that might try and attack. Since there are no moving parts, pivot points and no joints, it cleans easily and no place for squid goo to hide in. The price is ridiculously cheap so I don't feel bad if I drop it on the rocks or drop it in the sand. It's perfect for using and abusing and when it gets dull or the edged gets damaged, I will just take it to the grinder to clean up the edge (something I would never do to my Kershaw or Infidel), then hit the wet stone for a few swipes. There are no sentimental attachments, wasn't handed down from pappy. It's cheap, so not exactly a big investment. If you want a cheap knife that you can beat up, carve your name in innocent trees and make home made spears, get it.

It depends on your knife throwing experience. Mine is somewhat limited, but studying how experts throw technique wise shows that it does require altering how one throws from that of a traditional straight edged blade. It's more like a combination of throwing an ax and a Bowie. Throw-ability aside, it's a great knife, particularly for severing. As far as throwing goes, look up Michael Janich's videos on throwing knives, he's an authority on this stuff.

No, you don't. But it works as a handle too if you plan on pushing it around.

By the blade on all distance but long distance. I use the handle when I throw long distance.

If you want the best control of the tool, use the handle, it will help. Only when I need to get in somewhere where it won't fit, do I remove the handle.

The handle will not be oven safe, so removing the handle would be sufficient.

You just pick up the handle for the quick relase, I have both and like these much better.

I don't, I guess you would if you were trying to death grip the knife and chop? When I cut my knuckles aren't directly under the knife handle though. This is one of my family's favorite knives, my parents, my brother, and I each have one at our homes. If you want a smoother more expensive smaller handle they do make it out of wood and metal but it's like four times the price and the blade is the same.

Throwing knives should NOT be sharpened, otherwise they would be dangerous throwing them with the blade in your hand.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

I'm do not throw knives, but I would think not. First off, it is not a fixed blade so the distribution of weight is not ideal. The blade is long, but is much lighter than the wood and metal on the handle. Throwing this knife may result in a bent or broken blade due to its length. I see this knife more as a novelty for the collector. It's big and fun to play with, but not much practical use. Hope this helps.

Just throws in front of you. No way to throw sideways. But I will say this is the second season of use and it does more than I expect every time. 30min manual hand shoveling done in less than 5mins with this.
