Why am I not surprised I found a comment from you on this?

Hey ;) I got a better and easier way to make a Shuriken wich is sharp and out of metal. Sounds hard eh? Well its damn easy. Go to some random store and buy a Pizza cutting knife (or whatever its called) and then break of the blade off it. Then you got a circle formed shuriken already sharp and able to penetrate doors if you throw hard. I tried it out myself and it works from a good range.

Very easy to make and a nice final result, you've done a good work. Unfortunately, those throwing stars are illegal in my country :-P
Dec 16, 2010. 5:31 PMawesomekitteh says:

Dec 18, 2010. 3:51 AMjujitsu-mam says:
Spain. They're also illegal in much more countries, you can check it in google.

it's illegal if you kill someone with that shuriken. but least you can use it for pinning notes on you room to make more ninja-ish.

hi i just googled Grip-Right Fasteners tin disks and nothing came up i also went to the home depot website and nothing came up how long ago did you buy these and where?
Apr 20, 2009. 12:49 PMJais1993 says:
I thank you sir for this guide! I use steel instead of tin (makes 'em tougher). I sell them to my friends for $10. Great business!

Also planning to make a huge one.
Jul 31, 2009. 2:27 PMsharlston says:

Jul 31, 2009. 10:17 PMaaronscottaugustinhotmail.com says:
You can buy sheets of steel at you local lowes, home depot, hardware store like Ace and Truevalue
Feb 20, 2009. 2:16 PMoriginalwynne says:
umm in not really sure if this would work but its worth a try, you could cut the bottom of of a tin of baked beans and use that.. i might try it if a cant find these disk thingies anywhere.
