No spin knife throwing

[Tonka]

I found that style of throwing to be good with a heavy knife at short range. However to get distance you need to spin. That said, throwing a knife is not great for distance work however you do it, so perfecting that throw would probably be enough for most real life situations.
I hope I'm never in a situation when my best option is to throw my knife though... when that happens you must be really low on options! I have already turned my best throwing knife into a spear head.

Although I did get one of my knives to ricochet and stick in my own head... so perhaps you shouldn't listen to me anyway!
