A West Des Moines bar manager is a world knife-throwing champion, something he never thought he would be good at but has found his edge in. Shane Funke, who is the bar and league manager at Ironside Axe Club in West Des Moines, won the World Knife Throwing Championship in April in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "I didn't believe that I had won right away," Funke said. He said there were more than 150 participants, including some from as far away as New Zealand. Funke wants to win again next year — and not just because he would rather not have to move the 60-pound championship trophy from his possession.
