SPLIT THE KIPPER Two boys would stand facing each other 10ft apart each with a throwing knife.Alternately they threw to the side of the others legs and if knife stuck (in ground!) the opponent moved his leg to the position of the knife.

Slowly each players legs became further and further apart. However if you threw the knife exactly between your opponents legs you would get relief by being allowed to put your legs back together again.The name of the game indicates how the game ended.

Little did we realise the danger! Happy Playing GBroon
