i think the only thing you CAN put is a bag of flour or part of a pillow w/out the stick sharpened.

I made one of these only I replaced the knife with a sharp rock, glued it on with some pine resin, tied it with mock animal tendon.

now, im all for sharp objects flying through the air but taping a knife to a stick and throwing it around doesnt strike me as all that "safe" w/e my biggest concern however is that it will lose its "fun" when you impale yourself or a nieghbors dog...or your nieghbor for that matter....

nice design. maybe to make it more aerodynamic and balanced you could split the stick at the end and remove the blade from the knife then fix it in the split end of your killing stick.

and where am i going to throw this thing around? jk looks dangerous

well spears are always good so i like this

Dec 10, 2006. 12:33 PMDanny says:

normal javeling dont need such a heavy weight and thats what makes them fly well so i would just wrap some batteries round the javelin with string and duct tape becuase this will make it more areodynamic than the rockand also dont put too much weight on there
