My Lesson in Knife Throwing-- The Jack Dagger Method

Jack Dagger graciously gives me a crash course in knife throwing to help clean up my 4 meter (13 feet) throws. He instantly picked up all the tiny mistakes I was making, such as not snapping my wrist at the end and releasing way too quickly. Overall, it was an enlightening experience in which I was VERY grateful to have!

If you want to learn how Jack Dagger throws knives, he has a great instructional video which I highly recommend called, "Knife Throwing 101: The Jack Dagger Method".

And here is the link to his YouTube Channel:

The knives featured in this video are my set of Cold Steel Sure Balance Throwers.

I painted the handles per the advice of my weapons instructor, Michael Peloquin. It makes it easier to see if you're underspinning or overspining.

Jack Dagger nicknamed these throwers "fire hydrants" because they are quite heavy (18 ounces) compared to his sets of knives.

Last sidenote, Jack is throwing knives according to the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame rules, which will now be used at the Cold Steel Challenge.

Special thanks to Jenny for being so welcoming to me and my twin. Huge thanks again to the Jack Dagger for the 6 hours of training!

Hello, who makes Jack's knives?

[Xolette]

@xunevencircles44 I would ask Jack himself. He answers his YouTube email. Find his channel at JackDaggerTKOF.

That reminds me, You taught me that I can use a butter knife as a throwing knife, I've been getting good so maybe I can get it in some one's eye if they decided to take it hostage. But I'll have more then a butter knife then though.

@WeaponSamurai Just be careful! You wouldn't want to lose your only weapon, not to mention the legal repercussions. :)

@Xolette Ok Thank you!

I think jack dagger should have a throwing weapon fight against chosun ninja. I think jack dagger would easily win.
