How to Throw a Knife - Time to Prepare

Throwing a knife is one of the simplest skills to learn, but mastering accuracy and power can take practice. There are three types of throws: overhand, underhand, and sidearm. The best way to throw a knife at an animal or enemy is usually by aiming your arm in line with the target’s head while simultaneously throwing the knife backwards without twisting it around first. With experience you will be able to give this skill more finesse when hunting for food or defending yourself from human predators like bears who would try stealing your dinner before you could get away on foot

Gangs of New York is one of my favorite films. William “Bill the Butcher” Cutting (played by Daniel Day-Lewis, who is usually intense) is the film’s antagonist and one of the most unforgettable figures in modern cinematic history. Bill the Butcher was a badass, but he had crazy knife-throwing talents that came in useful for entertaining audiences, thwarting would-be assassins, and battling on the rough streets of NYC’s Five Points.

Confederate troops hurled knives in combat and for fun in camp during the Civil War.

Throwing a knife in warfare, like the tomahawk, has a big disadvantage: even if you successfully stick it in an enemy’s back, you’ve still lost your weapon. As a result, knife throwing has always been increasingly popular as a kind of entertainment, sport, and simply a way to pass the time. The “impalement arts,” in which a thrower hurls his knives frighteningly near to a human target to display his precision, were popular as vaudeville, circus, and sideshow shows in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Knife throwing is now considered a sport, comparable to archery contests.

If you want to enter into the impalement arts, you’ll need to persuade a lovely lady to help you.

I’ve always thought it’d be awesome to throw a knife like a bizarre and terrifying oldtime master of the impalement arts, so I had ranch owner Tom Warren give me a lesson after he taught me how to throw a tomahawk when I was at Meadowlake Ranch, a functioning guy ranch in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Knife throwing requires a bit more precision and talent than flinging a hatchet, but it’s much more thrilling when you do it right.

Types of Throwing Knives

Handle-heavy, blade-heavy, and balanced knives are the three types of knives that may be used for knife throwing. Most professional throwers, according to Tom, utilize a balanced knife. Tom recommends starting with a blade or handle heavy knife if you’re new at knife throwing. A balanced knife has a significantly more difficult learning curve. Tom utilized a blade-heavy throwing knife in this demonstration.

Remember this concept when choosing a handle or blade heavy knife: toss the weight and hold the opposite. If you’re throwing a blade-heavy knife, you’ll want to throw the blade first and grip the knife by the handle. If you’re throwing a handle-heavy knife, toss the handle first so you can grasp the blade when you throw. Savvy? Savvy.

How to Hold a Knife for Throwing

When throwing knives, Tom recommends an unusual grip and release. Many folks will hold the knife with their thumb on the side of the blade and release it with the blade parallel to the target.

This knife grip bothers Tom for two reasons. For starters, he feels it places your hand in an uncomfortable posture, preventing you from throwing with enough force to make the knife stay. Second, by holding and releasing the knife in this manner, your thumb may accidentally cause it to wobble in the air, causing the knife to bounce off your target rather than stick.

Tom recommends the following method for gripping the knife:

Place your index, middle, and ring fingers on the handle dead center (our knife is blade-heavy). You can simply hang your tiny finger off the end.

Place your thumb in the middle of the opposite side of the handle.

You just open your hand as you let go of the knife. There is no knife interference.

Knife Throwing is a term used to describe the act of throwing a knife

Choose a throwing line. The distance between you and the target is crucial when throwing a knife, just as it is when throwing a tomahawk. Draw a line from the objective to roughly five standard steps away. That should allow you enough room for the knife to complete a full revolution in the air before slamming into the target.

Take a deep breath and take a step back. Take a complete step back after you’ve located your throwing line.

Take a 45-degree step to the left and back. Similar to a field goal kicker. Take a 45-degree step back and to the right if you’re left-handed.

Stepping backwards. You’ll see that your throw line has moved forward two steps. That’s exactly what we’re looking for. This space will enable us to put as much force as possible behind our throw for two steps. “You want to step to your throw line,” Tom advises.

Face the target with your weak-side shoulder. Your left shoulder faces the target if you’re right-handed, and your right shoulder faces the target if you’re left-handed. With your rear foot, take one stride forward.

With your front foot, take a stride towards your throw line. It’s almost like you’re warming up for a baseball fastball, according to Tom. Stretch all the way to that line.

As hard as you can, throw the knife. Throwing a knife effectively requires throwing it forcefully. “You have to throw it so forcefully that the tree’s ancestors feel it when the knife sticks,” Tom explains.

Throughout the throw, keep your knife horizontal to the target. This ensures that the knife rotates properly when you release it.

Remove the knife off the table. Simply let go of the knife when your throwing arm is completely stretched towards the target.

Simply said, let go of the knife.

Carry it out. Always follow through, whether you’re throwing a baseball or a knife.

Always finish what you’ve started.

Other Throwing Methodologies

Technique used by professionals. Tom discussed another popular strategy, which he refers to as the “Professional Technique.” It’s a method used often by professional throwers, as the name suggests.

Find your throwing distance before beginning the Professional Technique. It’s usually around five steps away from the goal. Stand with your left foot back at your throwing line (if you throw right-handed; swap feet if you throw left-handed). Simply toss by taking a stride forward with your left foot. That is all there is to it.

This tactic irritates Tom. “To tell you the truth, it’s kind of a weak ass throw,” Tom admits.

Spearman’s Style In battle scenarios, the spear or arrow throwing method is most often utilized. You throw the knife in the same way you would a spear, with little to no spin in the air. It’s a lot more difficult toss than the one Tom demonstrated before. The benefit of a spear-style throw is that you don’t have to worry about how far away you are from the target or how many spins you need to make until your knife lands on it. You just toss it and hope it sticks.

Tom deserves special gratitude for taking the time to teach me how to throw a knife and a tomahawk. If you ever find yourself in Oklahoma, I strongly advise you to spend a weekend at Meadowlake Ranch. Tomahawk throwing, long bow shooting, horseback riding, fishing, and hunting are all popular pastimes. At Tom’s property, you can probably do anything.
