Playing with AI generated music I asked for a rock song about knife throwing. It's actually pretty decent 😄.

Final version of my Chonkers. Managed to shave off 130 grams with hard-core beveling and narrowing the handle a little bit. Now they are 380 grams of pure joy 😁

Tips for building target
Hi all, I am new to knife throwing. Sorry for my bad english, is not my first language. Yesterday I bought my first set and I tried them in the garage, but the noise of the knifes falling on the floor, or the wooden boards on the surface on which they are placed is really high and rumbles. Since I live in a residential complex I need to find a way to muffle this, do you guys have some tips? I read the using a few cardboards as a target could help. Thanks in advance

Back to basics. No fancy shapes, 33cm x 5mm x 400g. Simple and effective heavy hitters.

Very rare vintage throwing knife. High quality german steel. Good for no-spin, half spin, and stuck bolts size 32 (metric) 😄

Final shape of the new design. It needed just a minor modification in the handle part.

Ladies and gentlemen, the No-Shuriken. A concept thrower that behaves like a shuriken, but isn't.
A 3" x 5" thrower, shuriken are illegal where I live and I wanted something with a guaranteed stick. This has a %99 stick rate. Law says a shuriken has no handle, this does. In fact you can hold it as a melee weapon. It's compact but has that satisfying stick. I'm classifying it as a multi-tool, it's definitely NOT a thrower 👀
DISCLAIMER: this is meme and satire, in Roblox, not to be taken seriously. 😉 Please do not try at home, I cannot guarantee immunity to your local laws. This item was made as a decorative piece and I will be carrying six of them because it's part of my religion 😜(don't ask which one, you discriminatory person) and you're racist and or whatever if you say otherwise because that's how the backwards law works where I live and people get away with stuff like that all the time. 🤡 Anyway have fun out there!

Help Selecting Knife
Out of all my knives, I throw best w/ an Ontario Knife Company 499 Survival Knife. It has a 5” blade, 9.5” OAL, weighs 1 pound according the the OKC web site - but very well balanced. This is the model w/ the leather handle. It is now selling for over $50.00 - a bit much for a throwing knife.
Can anyone recommend a throwing knife w/ similar specs in the under $50.00 range? Or, do I just bite the bullet and get another?
Thanks!

Where to practice?
I just stumbled across this sub and it seemed like a good place to ask: if I live in suburban Maryland and want to practice throwing knives (starting from absolute novice level), how should I go about it? I see people posing images of logs and cardboard they’ve used as targets…can I just start doing that whenever? Is there anyone I have to notify or anything like that?

I made this as a joke to make fun of some friends. Throwing is easy, don't overthink it. Just practice to find your own way and have fun.

Short distance, nothing fancy. But hot dang, it's a blast. Y'all ever light your knives on fire for fun?

Anyone edc/train for self defense or train specifically with war in mind?
Exactly as the title states. Does anyone train with a goal in mind like being able to extend one's effective range with knives or other regular tools for self defense, or for other combat reasons like simply having an extra tool in the toolbox for something like war or home defense? Purely out of curiosity and I haven't spent enough time on this subject to have made a solid opinion on any of it, I am simply curious about hearing from u.

Spin vs no spin vs half
I got a set of cheap cold steel throwing knives as a Christmas present. I have had so much fun with them. I’d like to buy some nice, expensive non chinese knives, but I don’t know what type to buy. How do you determine which type? Is one easier to throw than the other? None of the knifes I’ve looked at even say what type of spin they are, how do you know?
