SpyderThrowers ETA?

[Candyman]

I look forward to getting a set of these and doing a little set up in the backyard. I have a friend that throws knives and he says it’s a great stress reliever.

I recommend the separately sold cork for you Bloke.

Ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha, ah, hahaha! :) :cool:

Safety first you reckon! :p

BladeHQ is showing they have the large in stock.

[SF Native]

In stock at bhq. Probably some other retailers.

[Mini2white]

With any luck dealers in Australia will get them.

I am curious what the sheaths look like. I cannot find a pic of them. I am looking forward to these. I spent some time throwing tomahawks this weekend and have the fever. :D

Darby, check ramzar’s list of delivered knives. He posted a pic of the sheath. Looks to have three separate slots for the three throwers. Looks pretty good. Wasn’t planning on getting these, but I could throw in the back yard.

Thank you. :)

Large throwers have arrived.
Beefy and balanced.
Well-crafted; design of course is unlike your other Spydercos.
Pics tomorrow, or maybe some late night indoor shots, we'll see after (late) dinner.

The large ones are *heavy*; I can foresee accidents for some folks. Do Not Drop!, and do not let them get away from you on release.

Haha, too funny (though no joke)
How'd you find that perfectly appropriate GIF?

(googles "knife conservation of momentum")

thanks for that

Quick shots of the large thrower

Individually double-sleeved knives plus the thick sheath really fill the box.



side view of the sheath:



back of the sheath, with belt loop:



three blade pockets, and stitching; appears to be waxed stitching. The sheath is well-crafted and finished, and appears so similar as to be made by the same maker of the Mule sheaths.


For size reference, here it is with the Polestar and Cricket, which I am carrying today. (I added the Chaparral because I suppose not as many readers may have the PS and Cricket.)


Another view, cuz the Cricket really is a sweet little knife, with this perspective to show it is a Big little knife:



side b:


Approximate balance point:


handle and holes. The finish texture makes for secure grasp yet controlled release.


shoulder:


sharpened tip. The blade flats are far enough forward for a secure tip-grasp and release. The distal edges are sharpened to "Stick-in-wood" sharpness, less likely to inadvertenly cut the user when handling for a tip-throw. The blackened and unsharpened edge portions are not a cutting risk per se, but I wouldn't want one to land on edge on a flip-flopped foot.


I did some backyard test throws, but for now I'll leave throwing reviews and recs to the throngs of youtubers.
Bloke's gif is a perfect example of Conservation of Momentum force vector sums waiting to put out your eye.

good luck.

kind regards,
a n.on

Ah, hahaha! I think I googled Knife Throwing Fails, though I can"t rightly remember but it took a while to find. :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure it's actual footage of Surfingringo practising while he waits for his Spyder throwers to arrive. :p

I believe this is the practice footage you were thinking of Bloke. :cool: :rolleyes:

You’ve definitely improved. :cool:

It’s all in the reflexes.

I'm thinking about buying a couple sets and using 'em for lawn darts. I used to love playing Jarts when I was a kid! "Fun for the whole family!"

Bump to find out whatever happened with these? (Also to relive the gif hilarity) Obviously some QC issue was identified, but I am not sure I ever got the story on whats up. I hope this project doesn't get left behind...

I'm with you on this. Any word?
