The icepicks I used as a boy price all of ten cents apiece in Woolworth's. They'd cheap cylindrical handles of pink-painted wooden, they have been maybe 9 inches long total, and so they weighed only four ounces or so. An accurate flip-and-a-half throw outdoors was just attainable, if there was no cross-wind. They had been exhausting to control in a full-flip throw because many of the little weight that they had was in the handle. Indoors, in the cramped area of my bedroom, a half-flip throw was good. Nowadays, icepicks are made with brief, stout handles mounting a metal pommel cap for shattering icecubes. Picks of this design are throwable, although the steadiness is so grossly handle-heavy that they take some getting used to. A heavier icepick-like machine, bought to housewives as a "hole-making device" (that is, an awl), may still flip up in your hardware retailer occasionally; look in the housewares department. This is an easy, sturdy tool about 9 inches long.
