February 9, 200917 yr hey here is another thing i made a while ago it is based off of the shuriken batman uses in batman begins and the dark knight, its simple weldable steel since its cheap and i didn't want to spend too much money on something i wasn't sure of. I sold them to a few friends for about 20 bucks each. the first one's head was a little off, the second one came out much better.
February 9, 200917 yr Thats pretty cool, did you test any? cardboard or wood, preferably not the way batman tests them out lol
February 10, 200917 yr Very nicely done. I used to make shuriken out of old saw blades so I could heat treat them and the stock was cheap...
February 10, 200917 yr Author yea i tested them out on some wood and they stick really well they throw easy too, only problem is because they are low carbon the don't keep a good edge
February 11, 200917 yr Nice, thats cool you got em to stick to wood. It's just one of those things that has to be tested out, you know. speaking of... I should try to make some throwing knives.... your an inspiration!

February 11, 200917 yr post a drawing with dementions or a printable pattern did you forge to shape gring cold chisel or torch it out
February 12, 200917 yr Author i made it using a bench grinder to bring out the basic shape and create the bevels for the edges, heat it up to cherry red and fine tune any malformed hard to grind areas. I don't have an actual pattern but i can give some step by step instructions. 1: get a flat piece of steel preferably 6 inches in length in case you mess up the initial grinding. 2: mark the center of the piece with a marker or anything else you can clearly see 3: draw out the outline of the wings coming in 2 inches at top then curving down till it comes in 1 inch, making a point coming back out. (remember the bat head) 4: make another curve coming in towards the center to form the second part of the wing plus the tail 5: at the top make some bat ears try to make the the same height as the top wings 6: do the same thing on the opposite side 7: I grind to shape but if you have a cutting torch then by all means I just can't afford anything else 8: if desired bring it up to a dull or cherry red to finish the shaping. 9: heat up the piece till critical then quench in motor oil (if you want a black finish), if you do not like the black then polish. 10: congratulations you now feel like bruce wayne and want to go kick some bad guy butt, remember if you do and you throw this at someone you didn't hear how to do it from me
