Very interesting facts on the subjects of knife and tomahawk throwing as well as the people who made them famous. I recomend this to anyone interested in learning about the art/sport.
 Disappointed July 6, 2005
A. Martinez (Miami, Fl USA)
I just got the book a week ago and this book is old and outdated, it is not hard to tell. There are very few pictures, and a distorted sense of organization. Half of the pictures were drawings of irrelevant knives. I thought I would get detailed information about throwing, but most of the book is dedicated to famous knife throwers, and not to helping you learn. It is short and overpriced. A real let-down. I would get a more up-to-date book on the subject.
