Folding throwers

[MicroFanatic]

Anyone currently produce a balanced folding thrower? I would have to say the best lock design for this type of knife would have to be the Reeve or perhaps the plunge lock. It would have to be a one hand opener for quick deployment and the blade would have to be slightly heavier than the handle so it can be thrown blade first. Any answers?

The idea of a folding throwing-knife has always intrested me too. I've thrown some folders and they didn't last long. I would think that it might be feasible to design one with throwing in mind that would hold up. Something nine or ten inches over legnth handle heavy to throw by the blade with a strong locking system and one-piece stainless steel handle might work. Maybe there's already something out there like that already. It would be handy to have a throwing folder you could carry in your pocket.
