First, the reason I didn't start a new thread is so you will reread the beginning of this thread. If you have been practicing diligently you should be able to routinely sink your knife in your chosen target 20 times out of 25. Now it's time to think about using it in a combat situation. First thing is to make sure your knife doesn't have an edge. Rub it off, grind it down. Whatever it takes to make it dull. Also, the point needn't be sharp either. If you drop it into your hand from 12" it shouldn't nick your palm. It's time to begin throwing from the blade end. I recommend your knife be at least 1/4" thick so it won't bend very easily. Years ago I bought the #1 rated throwing knife from the editor of a well-known knife magazine, and first throw it bent. Pissed me off. My friend Bruce Raymer bought some decent throwing knives in Sisters, Oregon. They are about 14-16" long, weigh about 1 1/2 pound apiece, and are 3/8" thick. When they go in they stick, believe me. And if you have the slightest misform it will show itself immediately. Again, practice from a known, comfortable distance until you can hit consistently, then either move closer and hold nearer to the center of gravity of your knife; or move away and grasp your knife farther from the center of rotation. Experiment. Become proficient. Try to teach someone else how to throw to see how much you have really learned. Send us reports. Thanks
