ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses an improved configuration for a hand propelled throwing projectile, combining elements of a throwing knife, a spear, a dart and an arrow. It includes a sharpened and pointed blade, a flight-stabilizing conical tail of flexible filaments, a rigid shaft between the blade and tail, and a blade holder between the blade and shaft which has a mass in relation to the entire projectile so that the projectile's center of gravity is located within the grip portion of the blade holder, which is contoured for gripping and throwing by at least two fingers. The projectile is thus gripped at its center of gravity, and the thrower's kinetic energy is imparted to it in the most efficient manner, as if the entire projectile were a mass point. The projectile is more easily thrown with accuracy and more reliably impaled in its target by users with minimal training and experience than a traditional throwing knife.
