Richard Sunderland
Number 1 Ranked Knife and Tomahawk Thrower in the World!
2 World Records!
I started throwing knives to pass the time while hanging out backstage at the Shambala festival in 2007. I persevered on my own with cheap, flimsy ‘throwing’ knives until I discovered Knife Club via the internet and learned how and what to really throw! I learned about Tournament Knife Throwing, Tomahawk Throwing and Mountain Man, as well as making some great new friends, and I now regularly compete in the USA and Europe.
My other main interests are photography, travel and mountains and I am the ‘technical support’ for this website.
