Meet Chuckies 1-12...

[Ian Haines]

NEW CHUCKIES! (I'm in love! Yeeehaaah!)

Yeah! Blades UK! (I've only just discovered that he has five pages of throwing knives! I've been going to him for years without realising it! Duuuhhh!)

They're "Gil Hibben" "Next Generation" Throwers.

DEETS:

>>> 8 inches long.
>>> 3 Pieces.
>>> £45 for the three.
>>> 3/16ths thick.
>>> Approx 12 ounces.

Tempered stainless steel.

I happily recommend them to you, but you'll need SERIOUSLY heavy wooden targets, unless you're going to use hay bales, as mentioned earlier in the thread, which is a great idea, actually. These chuckies are much heavier than my training blades and I am not at all comfortable, just yet, with the increase in (1) size, (2) weight and (3) aerodynamics, but I WILL BECOME COMFORTABLE! I'm not giving this up!

Even if the point wasn't about to sink into me, I'd really hate to have one of these heavyweight things coming at me through the air! Sheeesh! When I hit a piece of "decking", the piece of decking split in two and that piece had to be thrown away! JEEEEEEZ! I love a challenge!

The problem is...I need to get much heavier, more floor-stable target wood because these things hit with the force of a light hammer blow! I'll get used to them once I get that better weight/density/securedness of target/s. It's at times like this that I wish I lived next door to a lumber yard, because I need roofing joist wood or railway sleepers and I have a lot of trouble getting to things, and getting things to me.

Recommended, guys, but make sure you have plenty of time to practise with them!

Ian.
