My first AceJet knives were the "Stinger" model I introduced a few months ago. They made me want more but it must be said that they are specialized for "no spin" throwing, which certainly also makes them excellent for "half-spin" techniques such as "Instinctive and Military half-spin". But what they are not good at is, of course, rotational throwing where you strive for a more centered rotation pattern that is easier to master. To achieve this, a neutral balance is usually sought.
Of course, you can also find such knives in AceJet's product range. An example of this is these knives called Appache*.

This model is of course modeled after Russian Osetr models. In this case, it gives knives that are completely neutral in balance. In addition, they are characterized by the fact that the back is completely smooth, there are no details such as symbolic finger guards or the like. This allows you to use whatever grip you prefer on these knives. The slightly wider blade is excellent for "military half-spin" and in the same way, rotational throwing gripping the handle is no problem either. They are not bad at no spin either. It's just not where their main strength is found.
Personally, I aimed to have these as a complement to the Stinger knives when I train rotational throws. How they behave, I intend to go deeper into future posts.
Appache is like all knives in AceJet's range made of 14260 spring steel, which is a really nice material for throwing knives. It is extremely impact resistant and bends rather than chips. The length of the knife is 24 cm and the width is just over three centimeters and the thickness is 6 mm. That gives a total weight of 255 g.
There will also be a review of these eminent knives. I can reveal that they have already been inaugurated and I now have a pretty good idea of how they feel to use. If you are craving a set of handmade throwing knives from the Czech Republic already now or something else from AceJet, I recommend that you use the discount code "JOHN" at check-out as it gives a 5% discount on your purchase.
