Throwing
Knife
Although there are some highly-trained martial
arts experts who are skilled and disciplined
enough to include throwing knives as part of
their self-defense
skills set, the rest of us should be satisfied
with throwing for sport and,
perhaps, hunting purposes.
There are two basic classifications of a
throwing knife. "Handle" which are thrown by
the handle and "blade" thrown are thrown by
the blade. A particular balance determines
which category the knife belongs to. Some are
heavier in the blade than they are in the
handle are called blade throwing knives. Of
course, if it is heavier in the handle
then they are in the blade are called handle
throwing knives.
Longer knives turn more slowly which helps to
determine how far it will travel since a
throwing knife travels a greater horizontal
distance for every turn that it makes.
The distance and accuracy of a throwing knife
is also affected by its weight. They will succumb to the
affects of air friction as they travel towards their target. If a
light knife is thrown a long distance it will begin to wobble as the
affects of friction set it. It is important to make sure that your
particular throwing knife has an acceptable weight to length ratio
which runs roughly 1 oz per inch of throwing knife length.
When choosing a throwing knife, make sure that you carefully
consider all of the points that were mentioned in this article. Of
course, the quality and sharpness of the blade are factors to
consider when choosing a throwing knife, but they are secondary
considerations since you won't even have to worry about how sharp
the blade is.
