I noticed you just went out of stock tonight now though.. When will you have more available in inventory? Is there an ETA? Also, I'm just curious.. but, specifically what type of steel is used to construct this blade? Will a knife be available for me to buy soon as you get more in stock?

I never got around to building a target but instead used a large cross section of an old tree. It was approximatly 8 inches thick and 3 feet around. I used it for so long that eventually the knives would go right through it ( all the way) ! One more thing, those knives are so "Beefy" that after an hour of throwing them, your arm would really feel it. These are great knives and I am planning on buying more. My old ones have been retired.

I got my three Sport-Pro knives today, so I unpacked them and headed to the backyard. After a few throws, I was sticking them fairly well ... after some tiny adjustments to my stance, I was sticking them really well. Good weight, nice authoritative "thunk" when they hit. (It's REALLY humid today in Oklahoma, so my time outdoors left me sweating like a pig ... but I'm SMILING!) Now I've got to scrape together the pennies to buy another set of three. That way I can have a competition set of five, and one "spare." Thanks! Hi, Ken. I got my three Sport-Pro knives today, so I unpacked them and headed to the backyard.

I was using only two of my old Model #79's so I retired those to my collection and this week I gave in and allocated myself 5 of the new SPORT-PRO's I just got in, and they are indeed great! It's a lot better having more knives to throw in one round than having to do so much walking. ::grin:: BTW, I'd love to see a picture of your target. What did you build? <a href="http://www.trubalthrowingknifesociety.com/throwingknifetargets/throwing-knife-target" rel="nofollow">Click here to see mine.</a> Bill, I know what you mean.
