@MrM00Mz I've been experimenting with no-spin techniques. I have a video of that up, and have found some excellent instructional videos about no spin throwing. While I think no-spin knife throwing is a better technique for distance and power, I think the half-spin technique is useful for learning to control the knife.
WOW I really hope english is not infinityrg's first. Im sorry but I was not able to gain anything from that post. Overall it's a decent video, yet I think it would have done better with a bit more content and direction.
@Ballowall You have a good point. All knives have a balance point. It's up to the thrower to find it. A so-called well balanced knife usually means that the balance point is halfway between the tip and the end of the handle. If the knife is not balanced at that point, then it's up to the thrower to adapt to the balance of the individual knife and adjust his/her grip. Thanks for the comment.
@infinitiRG Depends on what you think is practical. I think learning new skills is practical in that you improve yourself as a person, develop hand/eye coordination, and build up confidence because you know there is something you are good at. Is it practical for self defense? That depends on the situation and many other factors. I wouldn't throw a knife at an attacker unless I had more than one back up knife. If your opponent has a gun, forget about it. It's best to never need either.
Good knife, a bit of practise and you are able to throw it from a distance of 3-5m, quite accurately and so strongly, that it's hard to pull it out from your wooden target (think what would happen with flesh), if that's what you're asking for. It all depends on you and your abilities. I'm just saying that throwing a knife isn't only a commando-movie trick, it's a practical ability. It's very easy to throw in a one spin distance, and to hurt someone that way... so train with care.
@Bojak10 it's not easy to get your own targets and even your skills it's really how you could find your skills if you just believe me or not. All throwers should have a selected all your distance if you can. It DOESN'T mean what you got not for commando movie trick. You should train yourself for knife throwing so you can learn your own skills or from trainer
You have a good flat throwing tenique. I don't really like that one because it is worthless after about 15 feed do to the flat part being slowed down by air. My experiences with throwing it is the worst for me to do. I prefer to throw from farther distances like 30 to 40 feet. I prefer throwing from the blade better then the handle and holding the knife in the balance point like you do.But I do enjoy throwing from the tip to I just have to change my distance. good video though.
@infinitiRG It depends on how good you want to become. If you practice half an hour a day for months, you'll become very good. I usually only practice outdoors, so I'm limited by the weather. I'll get in half an hour two or three times a week, but I'm not a great knife thrower. The best throwers practice daily.
@ryanuk1981 Good question. Rebounds are very rare, but I've seen them happen. It's not dangerous, though. In my experience, every time a knife has bounced back, it has fallen short of the thrower. All of the energy of the throw is forward, most is absorbed by the target, and the rebound is harmless.
With that in mind, select a target that isn't springy. Don't throw at target mounted on a trampoline, for example.
@chuk99 I was throwing just the other day at my homemade target made of yellow pine, and I had a rebound wiz past my head and land several feet behind me. It might be my target or just bad luck, but it deffinently keeps me on my toes while I'm throwing.
@VivienneVonSpin Thanks for the question about our target. Ours was a lousy target (we don't use that one anymore). It was a thick piece of particle board, which was very dense and dulled and bent many knives. I put some cardboard over it so the knives would stick.
Try something like an old solid wooden door. If you can get a cross section of a tree trunk, those make excellent targets since the grain is in the direction of where the knife will go.
these are the ppl im afraid of. u see a guy in all black with a mask u KNOW he's a ninja. but this guy looks like a math teacher! it's SO hard to tell who the badasses are nowadays!
@cleaderc Thanks for the question. Try holding the knife at the balance point and throw only from your arm, not from the wrist. Don't flick your wrist at all. Start pretty close to the target, about seven to ten feet. A vertical grip also helps.
You might also want to try no-spin techniques. That could help you control the spin for this technique, too.
It depends how far one is from the target. If one is a beginner, one would probably hold it by the blade for up to eight feet and get a half rotation. If one is between eight and fourteen feet, hold it by the handle because it will rotate one full time. As one gets better, one can control the rotation more.
@chuk99 Yesterday I went with a friend to a field to practice with the knife. It was the first time we threw knives. It took 15 minutes to learn. Then he said, "lets see what happens if I throw it like this," he launched it as if to throw a stone into the water to bounce. And the knife flew about 25 meters with the tip ahead all the time!
ah, i once threw with no shoes on.... i dropped a knife on accident and it stuck in my foot -_- now i always wear shoes hen throwing... thanks for vid though =D
@hunterand1 Yes it would. But to learn to throw knives successfully, start at about 7-10 feet from the target until you master the basics, then you can get farther and farther away from the target. I routinely throw from 15 feet and the knife only spins 1/2 rotation (180 degrees). If I'm 20 feet away, I hold it by the handle and it will spin one rotation (360 degrees). Unless one has REEEEEEALLY long arms, it's very hard to stab someone from 15 or 20 feet.
@hunterand1 Actually you can throw a knife much quicker than you can stab. You don't have to step in..the other guy does. So you can stab him before he even get a step in, and in most knife fights one stab ends it even if it's not fatal.
@dajhutty Sometimes it just takes lots of practice. Trying it outside would probably help, and a lockblade is going to have much different balance. If you can get a knife that is balanced better, you'll feel the difference. Good luck.
@Watersong101 It's not too hard to learn. Just practice and experiment with different techniques to see what works for you.
I started when I was 13, but I was never too consistent in my training. I'll go through a period of training daily until I get pretty good, then I'll start focusing on another weapon and my skills with the knife will atrophy. Months later I'll try again.
I have a few fairly cheap knives that I have picked up that have a very good balance to them, but it seems every time I throw them, they go pommel first. I'll occasionally get a lucky throw. But about 7 times out of 10 it's pommel first. Granted I think I try too much force as I have made one of these knives stick into the tree by the pommel.
hm... i disagree with making the knife do a 180, but i throw with more force, and they spin as much as they want, but i have heavy-bladed knives so the blade tends to lead more...
@WesAbel10 You've got a point about heavy bladed knives. I'm talking about knives with an even blade/handle balance in this video, as you can see from where the balance point is.
With a heavy-bladed knife, you may want to try the no spin technique. You wouldn't even have let is spin. Try tying a rag at the handle end for more drag and throw the knife from the balance point (blade first), and they'll work like large darts.
@basowiz The pocket knife probably won't be very good for throwing. Pocket knives fold up, unless they're lock blades. As for your father's knife, if he lets you throw it, then go for it, heh heh.
@iWaffoz250 Is it a lock blade? If it is, you can throw it, but will probably break fairly easily. Also, the weight of folding knives is in the handle, so throwing one will be harder.
@haloCE6 learn the balance point like jim bowies knife (alamo) try using palm stylethrow from gripping the handle flat palms hold with thumb from the balance point throwing at a face down over shoulder and brush away but take in mind the distance and force
@frootloopsfan If it works for you, then that's the best style for you. Doesn't it spin uncontrollably when you throw it if you hold it by the tip, though?
@thefunnyvidchannel Thanks for the compliment and the question. We do a variety of martial arts. We're a university club, so students, faculty, and people from the town as well as visiting martial artists share their different expertise. Some of the styles we have are Shotokan, Uechi-Ryu, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Small Circle Jiu Jitsu, TKD, Kung Fu, Kobudo, and Aikido.
I don't claim to be an expert at all of those, but I'm learning.
Really great tut, I'm working on my knife throwing. I've been using a really crappy(unbalanced) plain ol' straight blade and have had a lot of success with that(miraculous am I right?) but I've just ordered myself 3 really great Throwing knives(balanced)
@THISNAMEOWNS There are two basic styles of knife throwing, the style I show, which controls the rotations, but has rotations, and the non-rotating style, which I'm working on, myself.
There are many excellent instructional videos on Youtube of the no-spin style. Neither way is right or wrong. The best rule to follow is whatever works for you is the best method.
Very good. I personally view playing pool and throwing darts as a way to warm up to knife throwing, if people need a reference point. Both of those activities get a person to use their elbow vs. their wrist.
I don't know if it has been mentioned here before or not, but stainless steel is very cheap but is a soft steel its better for hunting and skinning knives, High Carbon or damascus steel would make for good throwing knives as the steel while still prone to breaking it is still much harder and more durable than stainless blades. On a side note these types are harder to sharpen because of this.
@Shadowcast577 Good point. High carbon steel is also more brittle, so if one doesn't throw well and hits with the flat of the blade, the metal could fracture. I'd recommend stainless steel for beginnners.
@chuk99 oh yes definitely. high carbon steel has more often than not all its merits when used in swords that use multiple layers of steel. Also for anyone reading. XD for training purposes any knife can be thrown its just a matter of each ones balance point. So if you want to use a bunch of old butter knives it will work fairly well. as for a target an office bulletin board will work just fine. Those are if you want to go the cheap route though. XD
@ghaibboy Thanks for the question. If you try to throw a knife in a fight, you're disarming yourself and potentially giving your opponent a weapon. I wouldn't do it without a back-up knife or two.
The first rule of a knife fight, however, is to not get in a knife fight. Knife throwing is more for recreation.
@specialEd4724 I Agree throwing knives is like spear throwing you must feel the weight of the blade and take a little time you have all these People who play MW2 and think throwing knives are a badass weapon. Been throwing with a Different technique for 2 weeks.
@nickthecookie Thanks for the question. No, they aren't illegal in Canada.
The Canadian Criminal Code states exactly this:
In sec. (84)(1)(b) "any knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force, or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device attached to the handle of the knife".
Thanks for the question. We share our practice space with the golf team. I don't know how to play, though. I'd probably try to use the golf club as a weapon of some sort.
i remember last year i Threw a pair of Scissors to the Green Board in my Classroom from about 3Meters away and it Striked Hard, but it was all my Luck that actually let me hit it lol.. and it was tough pulling it out of the wall. xD
not as Lethal as Knifes but they can be a nice substitude when u got no Knifes around xP
Um ya i never even watced a video or anything I just picked up a knife and started throwing it...Im pretty good but now theres also a bunch of holes in my wall... -_-
@Ghostspartan83 lol i do this in my backyard agains my wood fence but sumtimes it goes over and i hav to go sneak to go get them cuz i dont want my neahbors telling my parents your son is playing with knives lolo
@chuk99 do you hold the knife by the handle or the blade ?

I heard that you must control the number of rotations in a knife throw. I try to make the knife fly straight. Is this ineffective?
THISNAMEOWNS 1 year ago
@THISNAMEOWNS There are two basic styles of knife throwing, the style I show, which controls the rotations, but has rotations, and the non-rotating style, which I'm working on, myself.
There are many excellent instructional videos on Youtube of the no-spin style. Neither way is right or wrong. The best rule to follow is whatever works for you is the best method.

i learned this stuff by just throwing knifes

Very good. I personally view playing pool and throwing darts as a way to warm up to knife throwing, if people need a reference point. Both of those activities get a person to use their elbow vs. their wrist.

I don't know if it has been mentioned here before or not, but stainless steel is very cheap but is a soft steel its better for hunting and skinning knives, High Carbon or damascus steel would make for good throwing knives as the steel while still prone to breaking it is still much harder and more durable than stainless blades. On a side note these types are harder to sharpen because of this.
Shadowcast577 1 year ago
@Shadowcast577 Good point. High carbon steel is also more brittle, so if one doesn't throw well and hits with the flat of the blade, the metal could fracture. I'd recommend stainless steel for beginnners.
Thanks for the comment.
chuk99 1 year ago
@chuk99 oh yes definitely. high carbon steel has more often than not all its merits when used in swords that use multiple layers of steel. Also for anyone reading. XD for training purposes any knife can be thrown its just a matter of each ones balance point. So if you want to use a bunch of old butter knives it will work fairly well. as for a target an office bulletin board will work just fine. Those are if you want to go the cheap route though. XD

is it effective to use throwing knife for fight ? or should i learn how to straight stab.. ?
ghaibboy 1 year ago
@ghaibboy Thanks for the question. If you try to throw a knife in a fight, you're disarming yourself and potentially giving your opponent a weapon. I wouldn't do it without a back-up knife or two.
The first rule of a knife fight, however, is to not get in a knife fight. Knife throwing is more for recreation.

@specialEd4724 I Agree throwing knives is like spear throwing you must feel the weight of the blade and take a little time you have all these People who play MW2 and think throwing knives are a badass weapon. Been throwing with a Different technique for 2 weeks.

how much do these cost? should i buy the more expensive one for like 100 dollars for two or the cheap ones for like 20 dollars for 3?
PRFCHEWY 1 year ago
@PRFCHEWY It's up to you, but the expensive knives will break just as quickly as the inexpensive ones, especially if one it just learning.

I'm scared that its going to slice my hand when I throw it out.
williamwzl 1 year ago
@williamwzl Most throwing knives are only sharp at the point. If you're using a kitchen knife, make sure the blade is NOT facing your palm.
chuk99 1 year ago
I've been told kitchen knives aren't that great to throw with, but for me, the longer ones are easier actually.

is it illegal to have them in canada
nickthecookie 1 year ago
@nickthecookie Thanks for the question. No, they aren't illegal in Canada.
The Canadian Criminal Code states exactly this:
In sec. (84)(1)(b) "any knife that has a blade that opens automatically by gravity or centrifugal force, or by hand pressure applied to a button, spring or other device attached to the handle of the knife".
These are just regular knives, no springs, etc.

Think of it as tossing a baseball from an overhand grip. Then adjust for the weight of the projectile and the distance to the target.
