Here they are, my latest addition from Acejet. The model is called the Spinner Bowie and they get the Silver Hunter addition to the name when they are this shiny. Something which, by the way, they are not that long as they are made of spring steel. One of the properties the material has is that it is anything but stainless.
Coupled with the occasional miss and some "Robin Hood" hits and you have patina in no time. That's the nice way of saying they wear. This was especially true of the tips on these as I broke a couple of millimeters on two of them fairly immediately. It's the first time I've noticed it on knives from Acejet.
Otherwise, I really like these knives. However, they feel very different to throw compared to several other sets of rotational knives I have experience with. Silver Hunter are relatively light for their length and they require "active" throwing. That is to say, you have to throw somewhat harder, especially over longer distances than, say, my Woodpecker from Pierre Cazoulat, which I am most used to. Those knives spin because of their weight and hit the target slowly but with pondus. Spinner Bowie simply requires a bit more speed.
What I like about them is they are easy to aim with. The precision comes from an easily calculated trajectory and reliable feel in the rotation. Then it is exciting that Acejet has also entered the game with a set of blades entirely for rotational throwing. An area they previously stayed away from.
