A really super item. I think it is made in two parts. Look carefully at the third and fourth pics, you can see the forged join. I always like to think this is a good sign of old and skilled work rather than latter and cut from scrap or trade metal.

Hi Luc,
cool throwing knife, Tim is right there is a forged welded joint, I think it would be too much effort and time to forge this 'one-piece'.... and the resultly piece would not be any better. I really like the shape of this type of 'thrower', congrats

Regards David
