TOPIC:throwing knives practicality

ok so i have bin dealing with throwing knives for a few years now all different brands styles sizes at all different targets sizes and materials from different distances ranging out to 40 feet as i feel its a crap shoot any farther out so as far as hunting i dont think that they would come in handy for like canadian geese cuz you can get close but hell you could do em bare handed too lol as for anti personnel i think they would do jus fine geting stuck with a blade will slow em down at least so let me know guys an here are a few pics and a video i did and im just wondering what your experiences thoughts and feelings on throwing knives are thank you for viewing and responding Attachment 8503Attachment 8504Attachment 8505Attachment 8506

I can survive in the wilderness with one knife and I ain't throwing it anywhere. I may need it later. :)
For me, carrying a set of throwing knives is useless weight but that's just me.

I just have a problem with throwing my tools at something....unless its just for fun.

Hope you don't lose them, or have plenty.

Not even something I would consider....rather use a sling shot...or just throw a club or rock.

I'm pretty handy with a throwing hammer.

i do i have almost 100 throwing knives its relaxing to fling em lol

canid you got a video or pics im interested to see it done in action

If we are going to get primitive, I can throw my atlatl dart farther than you can throw your knife.

And now I have your knife!

I've thrown a few knives in the past. It was games we played as kids, stretch and chicken.

I think it is good to practic every option, even the deseperate ones. Throwing a knife is, in my idea, the last thing to do. So better not fail.

Throwing for fun is one thing. I have done a lot of that with knives and hawks at the rondys.

I might take a swat at a rabbit on the ground if I was hungry. A throwing stick would be just as good, probably better if i did not wish to cdamage the blade.

Throwing as a defense I would only do if I were attempting a distraction so I could draw my gun while the other guy ducked.

Seems to me that with a lot of practice one could get fairly good with one at a close distance. That being said while it may be intertaining maybe one should see if that time spent should be spent doing something that would help your family out. But thats just me.......time is short. mwp

Once you throw your knife you don't have it anymore.

This is the base line of common sense.

Only thing to add would be..."but they do"

Throwing stars are illegal here. Throwing knives are illogical here. (That's my best Spock impersonation).

For me - it's fun to do on occasion, but that's about it.

thanks for the input an opinions
knives are all i got as i made my fare share of mistakes in my time here it is now illegal for me to as much as touch a gun lol as i have bin arrested for possesion of a firearm by a felon before id rather not go through that again and well i am damg good with a throwing knife after much practice but heck id rather go down for having a bunch of knives than a gun again i realize most of you dont have this problem but i do and this is my solution i guess well and my pse coyote break down bow lol but arrows are expensive and it shoots to hard to use wooden home made arrows i think 65 lbs pull hmm is that to much idk i just dont trust it thanks again


oh an for all who is wondering my video was taken down due to my bad language lol srry i cant help it just how i rambble on but if you didnt see it and want to look up ctdcb18b on youtube its in there

The thunk of a knife sticking into a wood round is one of the most satisfying sounds you will ever hear.

I would not spend alot of money on throwing knives, cheap is better. Mine is so cheap, I just leave it in the massive round I use as a target. Keep a couple small diameter logs laying around to straighten the bent ones.

If I could throw amazing well, I may consider the idea of throwing a real knife for survival purposes.

Harry McEvoy(?) throwing knife guru, killed a German sentry silently at some stupid range , like 54 ft. He could have survived using them. Look up his story, it's a great read.

If you intend to used a thrown knife to gather food make sure it's a large one. Ninja stars and the little ones won't have the weight for kills and would be over-effected by wind and possible obstacles.


Back when I could hit 1/2's, 1's, and 1 1/2's consistently, I was throwing a pretty sweet German stag handled bowie.
One of these.

I would have felt pretty confident in throwing that at small game at 20 ft. It would be as effective as a throwing stick with a blood trail. The target game wouldn't run far with a pound of steel hanging out of them.


As far as practicality, I guess people should learn to throw for fun and they may have the option to test it later.

a atchisson folding apache star would be my choice. Not a knife though, just pointy.

ctdcb18b: I'm afraid not. Should I ever feel the urge while shooting video, I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

I have never been able to make a knife stick, and normally just tear my knife up when I try!

My brother used to work at a small company hard coating foam for architectural accents. We would throw knives at the hard coat covered filters. Fun and all. But, that is fun like playing stretch, chicken or mumblie peg as a child.

I wouldn't throw any of my knives I carry. Just not likely to be a successful ploy and very likely to lose the knife.

If I were to depend on throwing a weapon at something, I would toss a spear. Much more effective, and almost always hits point first. Also, spears are pretty easy to make.

you can get good at it quick it just takes practice wildthang and ifs fun
i have killed a few small birds with my throwing knives in the garage my little ones look little but there over a pound in weight winter
canid what are you saying now lol over my head are you refuring to something i said in the video ?
and yes i think you could use them as a hunting tool of you are good enough to pinpoint your sticks at one point i could hit a beer can up on my target at will thats about squirrel sized target at will
at one point i hade made it into a game my neghbors and i would play makes it more fun to practice good luck and have fun trying
oh and double ended throwing knives are a cheap as throwing a star no skill needed lol that being said they would work tho

Ha when I was a kid, I used to steal my gammas kitchen butter knives. I would take them to the garage and sharpen them to a good point and electrical tape the handles. I learned how to throw with those. They worked really well. I got pretty good. I haven't killed any game with them but, I think then could be very effective for small game with enough practice. I guess all I can say is don't knock it until you try it.

Oh and by the way the electrical tape made the knife quieter if it didn't hit just right on the target. When they hit flat they ring kinda loud.
