Tru-Bal Throwing Knife Society

Stephen McEvoy told me that this is an early version of the Model No. 91 Stinger Bowie throwing knife made by Harry McEvoy in late 1991 or early 1992 at the latest. Sometimes Harry would put serial numbers on the first 50 but certainly not more than 100 knives when he released a new model. [...]

The Tru Bal Model No. 44 Battle Master came along after I stopped selling Tru-Bal knives the first time. So to fill in the gap in my collection I purchased this knife from a collector in 2011. He had purchased it from Bobby Branton earlier when he sold out his Tru-Bal collection.

The Tru Bal Model No.9 Champion came along after I stopped selling Tru-Bal knives the first time. So to fill in the gap in my collection I purchased this knife from a collector in 2011. He had purchased it from Bobby Branton earlier when he sold out his Tru-Bal collection.

An old catalog identifies this model as the original design for the Rifleman. It was only made from 1975-1976 before it was revised in 1977 in the form of a model #6-B.

I bought this Tru-Bal Model No. 4-A BATTLE BLADE on eBay because I did not already own one made by Harry since he was not making this particular model in 1983-1984.

I bought this Tru-Bal Model No. 70 PRO-THROW throwing knife on eBay because I did not have one made by Harry K. McEvoy since he was not making them in 1983-1984.
