飞刀志——冷钢PBT
译者：Gunsheep
译者按：冷(yang)钢(jiang)PBT，是Youtube上各种飞刀视频中的常客。一方面，这把刀绅(bian)士(tai)无比的重量使得它很难被初学者掌握，而另一方面，它的重量和尺寸使得它非常适合投远。在一个视频中一个老汉拿它投出了67.5英尺（20米多）的纪录。同时，这把刀的设计使其很适合Ralph Thorn的矛式投掷法。翻译了一篇介绍，权作抛砖引玉，请各位探花们指教。
===============================
冷钢PBT
长度 总长：34.3cm 刃长：16cm 重量：430克 厚度：5mm 重心：接近中心，向刀柄方向偏1cm
冷钢PBT（“完美平衡飞刀”）山寨自一把美国六十年代很流行的飞刀：斧博伊。斧博伊最早在1959年，由哈利·麦克艾沃和查理·古砧斯基所创的“真正平衡刀业”生产。这刀厂现在还在，运气好的话还能买到原版刀。PBT使用和斧博伊不同的材料，例如，使用了另外的刃材（含碳量0.5-0.6%）以改善投掷性能。但是，刀身必须上涂层，不然就得生锈。刀鞘要另外掏钱。
这飞刀的一大特点就是其锋利的刀刃。虽然它被称作“多用途刀”，但因刀刃过厚，不能作精细切割，也不能削苹果。但因为够重，很适合劈木头。飞它的时候，最好把刀刃磨钝，免得在练习时自残。即使如此，因为刀刃过宽，执刃投掷的时候很不顺手。
从刀柄取下塑料贴片后，它很适合执柄投掷。但你要用吃奶的劲扔，而且必须站在固定的训练距离上。(译注:后者限于马戏团投掷法)
下图是一把原版的斧博伊。戴特·菲由勒于1981年花30美刀拍下了它。它用弹簧钢制成，飞了三十年没受一点伤。但是戴特也一直没法拿这货作日常使用：那半圆形的刀口就他丫的没法磨口牙。
这是正版：

原文：
Perfect Balance Thrower length:
total: 34.3 cm
sharp blade: 16cm
weight: 430g
thickness: 5mm
center of gravity: nearly in the middle, shifted 1cm towards the handle |
The "Perfect Balance Thrower" by the company Cold Steel is a remake of a throwing knife that was very popular in the USA in the 1960s: the Bowie-Axe. The ancestor was designed and sold, as early as 1959, by the Tru-Balance Knife Company (TruBal), which was founded by Harry McEvoy and Charles V. Gruzanski. The company still being in existence today, with a bit of luck it is still possible to buy some of the  original models. The new Perfect Balance Thrower is made from different materials than the Bowie-Axe, for example another steel was chosen (carbon content: 0.5 - 0.6%) to improve the properties required for throwing. But, the blade must now be coated to prevent rust. The sheath for this knife is sold separately.
The most prominent feature of the throwing knife is its sharp blade. In theory an all-purpose knife, it can not be used for finer cuts required in carving or even when peeling an apple because the blade is too thick. By virtue of its weight, it is well-suited for hacking wood. As a knife thrower, you will want to dull the blade to prevent injuries when training. But even then, owing to the wide blade, it can not be thrown comfortably from the blade.
After taking off the plastic slabs from the handle, the knife throws very well from the handle side. It requires a rather forceful throw, and the thrower has to stand at exactly the distances he trained for.
The photo below shows an original Bowie-Axe which Dieter Führer bought in 1981 for 30 Dollars. Made from spring steel, it has been thrown for more than 30 years without suffering any damage. Dieter could not use it as daily knife either, the convex edge did not lend itself to sharpening.
You can buy the Perfect Balance Thrower at Toolshop.
