Throwing Knife SPOON

How'd I come up with this is amazing idea? Well I really don't know I found a spoon in my backyard and had the strangest urge to make a throwing knife out of it. So I'll show ya what I did.

Materials

1 Spoon (After some trial and error I learned that the cheap dollar store spoons don't work not enough weight)
Bench Grinder/Angle Grinder
Hammer
(If you use an angle grinder you might need a bench press or some other clamping device to hold the spoon)
20-30 minutes of your time

Flatten the Spoon

The title is quite self explanatory, but I'll explain anyways. Take your spoon and place it on a hard surface like concrete or an anvil or what evers handy and hit Intel it's nice and flat. Make sure it's as straight as possible.

Make the Tip

Now that you have a flat straight spoon you can begin the hardest part. If you want you can take a marker or something and draw your point onto the spoon part (be creative as long as your point is straight out it should work just fine) but I'll just free hand it. And try to keep the point as centered as possible.

Target

You can take some cardboard and stand it up like I did and use that or use what you wish as a descent target, Just alone as it's not living inless your in need of food and your good with a spoon :D.
