Throwing

[Killer Cyborg]

I can't describe what the things look like, but they have a number of points, unlike a knife.

Do a Google Image Search for an african throwing knife and you'll get several examples.

In a nutshell, these are thrown horizontally and were often banned for being too lethal.

well, there is a reason why guns are more often then not the ranged weapon of choice in the modern era.

Basically the african throwing iron was meant for chopping through pretty much anything non-metal till it got to it's target, and then choped through it too.

It was usually short range (usually 30 feet or so), but usually cleaved whatever it hit.

Personally if you wanted an iron, basically I would make my own. It's cheaper and really not that hard to make.

Just getting the balence down that's the pain.
