I want a good quality knife, won’t break easily, and will stay sharp for a long while. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have several brands of throwing knives and ‘d have to disagree with prev. poster. United cutlery throwing knives are made of very soft metal. It is so soft that sharpening an edge becomes an issue, metal folds too quickly.
Now, that isn’t really a problem with throwing Knives in general, but you mentioned staying sharp long time.
In that case I’d recommend Cold Steel true flight thrower knives.
As much as I don’t like cold steel knives, those are one of the better quality throwing knives.
Made of 1055 steel which is plenty tough and holds reasonably good edge for a throwing knife it’s a pretty good buy.
Mini review here – http://zvis.com/knives/throwing/cstft.shtml

At some point Rigid knives also made pretty solid throwing knives – http://zvis.com/knives/throwing/rigid.shtml

In general, Throwing Knives and good edge holding don’t really go along. Throwing implies impacts with wood and other hard objects, so blades have to be optimized for high toughness/impact resistance, which is detrimental for edge holding ability, which requires higher hardness, thus more brittle blades.

I have 2 Mora craftsman knives. One in stainless, that I use i as a utility knife, and one triflex that I use for camping and hunting. I was wondering if a hollow ground edge is better for one application or another. Pros and cons.

If the Knives don’t already have a hollow grind, and they serve well like they are, leave them alone. A hollow ground edge is a little easier to sharpen and usually will be a little sharper after proper honing, but can dull quicker depending on the use, and will be more subject to edge chipping. Also hollow grinding is not easy to do, you can mess up a good blade very quickly without the right equipment and knowledge for such a seemingly simple project.

will this work from my big buck Knives a gutting knives to my pocket knives?

Small stones are a lot of work..Get a nice medium grit diamond impregnated wet stone. It will sharpen anything you want..a set for ceramic sticks (crock sticks) will put a very very fine edge on it.

I own a set of Throwing Knives but have no clue how to properly throw them. How am I supposed to hold them, what type of action do I use to throw them, etc? A web site with pictures on how to do this would be of great help.
Oh, and please no crappy sarcastic answers like “you throw them” and don’t copy-paste a wiki page if one exists. Thanks.
