Also presented is an interesting history of throwing-knives, from the earliest times, through the development of the European daggers, and up to the knives used during the Vietnam War. Furthermore, you'll learn about many of the other throwing weapons of the world, including the martial arts weapons used by the Japanese ninja, and the deadly boomerangs of the Australian aborigines. <p/>Concisely written and illustrated with more than 50 photographs--including many of the greats in action--<i>Knife and Tomahawk Throwing</i> is a must for anyone interested in these fascinating sports. <p/> Chapters include: <ul><li>The Fine Points of Knife Throwing</li><li>How to Build Targets</li><li>Evolution of the Throwing Knife</li><li>The Art of the Professionals</li><li>The Saga of Skeeter Vaughn</li><li>Tomahawk Throwing</li><li>The Hunt of the Hog Heaven Boar</li><li>The Other Throwing Instruments<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Knife & Tomahawk Throwing</i> helps keep alive these traditional arts of the old West.
