it is very large for a throwing knife but its charachteristics and shape are quite correct for it to be a good throwing knife. can you show a view fomr the spine showing the blade taper?

If i understand you correctly, it's a hell of a task to photograph the blade spine ... at least for me . But i can tell you that there is a sharp cutting edge, going sharper all the way since the forte to its tip, and a back (upper) side, slightly tapering from the blunt forte to its curved tip, and from there as sharp as the cutting edge. This of course calls for the machete (like) type and not for a throwing device.
