Mike

"Alamo"

Bainton

2005 International Knife Thrower of the Year

Noted Knife Thrower Mike "Alamo" Bainton

In 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2009 Dr. Bainton was the uncontested Overall Knife Throwing World Champion and missed the 2006 World Championship by one point, won by 2006 World Champion Bob "Old Dog" Pyle. Michael J. Bainton, Ph.D. of Austin, Texas, founder of the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame, started throwing knives late in life.

  Since 2003, he has won first place in 30 national Championships and 17 World Championship events, making him the most prolific knife throwing champion in the history of the sport with a total of 47. This is another record with the Guinness book of world records, with 30 or more competitors. He is also the only thrower to ever make a perfect score in the Impalement contest at the World Championships in Claremore, Oklahoma in 2005 and won seven of the World Championships events at the World Championships in Las Vegas in 2004. He is thought to be the number one thrower in the world today with World Championships in Conventional throwing, Impalement, Fast Draw, Obstacle course and three World championships in Tomahawk throwing and two national titles in Mountain Man throwing. His accomplishments are recorded in the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame website, www.ikthof.com and the Guinness Book of World Records for 2008.
