Best Practices & Acceptable Use
"Normal Use Cases"
Targets:
Best Practices For Target Construction Call For: Log Rounds And/Or Lumber Held Together With Wood Glue & Dowel Rods.
Using Metal in the construction of your target is NOT recommended and damages sustained to knives from metal and/or stone will NOT be covered under our standard warranty/satisfaction guarantee.
(i.e. screws and/or metal joists/joints)
Surrounding Ground:
Best practices are to set your throwing range up over dirt/grass, being careful to try and avoid rocks.
Throwing over asphalt, concrete, anything harder than dirt essentially is NOT recommended and will NOT be covered under our (AFGK, NBK, Keystoned, and/or Mcnees) standard warranty/satisfaction guarantee.
Backboards:
Wooden backboards are best in my experience.
Maintenance & Ownership
Proper maintenance & care is important to keep your knives in optimal condition for as long as possible.
1. Before throwing, always check your knives for small burrs in the steel that can happen as a result of hard impacts.
(generally I find this comes from knives hitting one another)
Burrs can be easily smoothed out with a piece of sandpaper or a file.
2. To protect your knives from rust, regular use of oil for cleaning and storage is crucial.
We have found that WD40 works quite well, though any oil is better than no oil.
Lifetime Support & Satisfaction Guarantee
Any throwing knives you purchase from AFEWGOODKNIVES.com are covered from breaks, bends and weird defects under normal use cases. (as defined in the "Acceptable Use Policy".)
If something bad or sad happens to your knife, as long as you can send it back we will do our best to take care of you.
(I can not replace lost knives)
