Throwing Knives
In Unusual Weapons
Knife throwing is an art, sport, or variously an entertainment technique, involving an artist skilled in the art of throwing knives, the weapons thrown, and a target. Knives used are almost always one-piece, rather than the traditional knives that have a handle manufactured separately from the blade.
Additionally, some throwing knives are double-edged, although the edges of throwing knives are almost always dull (to prevent the knife from cutting the thrower’s hands in some grips). The knife sticks through penetration of the sharpened point into the target, hence sharpened edges are unnecessary. A related weapon is the Japanese shuriken.
Throwing knives are favored by the mafia enforcer Renegade during tactical situations.
