Harry K. McEvoy was a great man and a friend, many of the professional knife throwers as well as some people crazy enough to try it sought him out to make custom hunting knives as well, he wore many hat's and was the co founder of the Tru-Flyte Knife throwers Of America along with Charles Gruzanski whom I'm sorry to say I never got the chance to know! Charles Gruzanski also wrote a book called Spike & Chain that showed in detail early for it's time the correct throwing method for Bo Shuriken (Spikes) and Shaken (Throwing Stars), the title was later changed during the Ninja craze of the 70's to Knife Throwing Techniques of The Ninja. But if you just want to learn about how a knife is to be judged as to wether it is a blade or handle thrower and about the myth of balance of a thrown knife this is a fantastic video by a great man, unfortunately it was made towards the end of his life and not in his Prime! Some of the other folks who sat on the Board Of Directors of The Tru-Flyte Knife Throwers Of America were Prince Che Che White Cloud, Paul Lacross, Bo Randall, Skeeter Vaughn and several other famous knife throwers. In Harry's books you can read all about these great throwers including The Dean of Knife Throwing Dick Haines, Larry Cisewski, Che Che White Cloud and his father Chief White Cloud, Skeer Vaughn (Gray Otter) who once threw a bayonet 89 feet to take out a sentry during the war, all of his books are worth the read in my opinion!
