A busy 2010 in store! 2010 promises to be a busy year! If you haven't yet taken part in an open day, why not pop in? See you there!
Cold Steel Throwing Knives are now available at Framar Knives. John and I have teamed up to bring you this content, though I must confess that my input is largely restricted to the role of webmaster for now. John has recently made a trip out to the Alamo and opened the throwing tournament by throwing the first knife! He was also given a very large custom bowie knife as a thank you. What a treat! For news on John's previous trip check out his trip to Texas, USA and why the experience was such an eye-opener. He's also appeared in an episode of HEARTBEAT. Who knows what is next on the cards. If you are interested in forming a club or getting involved, then John is your man . If you already have a club and want to appear on the site, please let me know. Feel free to email pics of knives that you have made or sell. Also check out our Guestbook. You might also want to check out The Great Throwzini site. Do yourself a favour and subscribe to their newsletter, it's free and well worth the regular info. 101 Tips is well worth it.
