It's a missile with an ego. That's all.

Sure, I know this. But how does it look? how are the feathers attached so
that they could help it fly?

Hehe, only one way to get those though, and most people wouldn't try it.

I like griffon-feathered boomerangs better, myself ;D

Oops, sorry, I didn't see the "how" in your question. Well, I would
imagine they're stuck to the end farthest from the tip as an arrow's
feathers would be. So they're at the butt end of the handle. Maybe.

I don't know.. Depends on how they throw the knives. If they fly straight,
then it would help -- only a tiny bit and probably unbalancing the whole
thing and making it unusable. If they are thrown so that they revolve | /
- \ -, then I can't imaigne a way.
