Re: Corrado Throwing Knives
They appear to be copies of or at least heavily influenced by Harry McEvoy's Tru Bal Model 79 Sport-Pro throwers.
Don't know if they're made by the same guy, but there is a Jim Corrado out of Glide Oregon who's website is still up but hasn't been updated since 2001. It has his contact info on the About Me page but I can't tell if it is current. Whitepages lists that address and another for him.
His website also indicates he's been a member of the Knifemaker's Guild since 1976 and that he makes pocket knives. He could have made throwing knives in his early days. That sheath certainly could 80s vintage.

Re: Corrado Throwing Knives
Corrado Cutlery Chicago sold his Knives in their catalog. Whenever I do a search for Corrado throwing knives it always leads back to Harry McEvoy.
