KNIFE THROWING LITE!

The icepicks I used as a boy value all of ten cents apiece in Woolworth’s. They’d cheap cylindrical handles of crimson-painted wooden, they had been perhaps 9 inches lengthy total, and so they weighed only 4 ounces or so. An correct flip-and-a-half throw outdoors was just attainable, if there was no cross-wind. They were onerous to control in a full-flip throw as a result of most of the little weight that they had was within the handle. Indoors, in the cramped area of my bedroom, a half-flip throw was good. Nowadays, icepicks are made with brief, stout handles mounting a metallic pommel cap for shattering icecubes. Picks of this design are throwable, although the balance is so grossly handle-heavy that they take some getting used to. A heavier icepick-like system, sold to housewives as a “hole-making device” (that’s, an awl), may still turn up in your hardware retailer often
