You can throw a knife overhand or underhand in 3 different ways: (1) with half spin (throwing by the blade) (2) full spin (throwing by the handle) (3) full spin (throwing by the handle). Thrown by the handle in the no spin throw, the index finger is held along the edge of the handle. In the full spin throw the knife can be gripped with the thumb held on the edge of the handle. In the with-spin throws, the knife turns end over end on its way to the target. In the no spin throw, at the time of its release and at any time in its trajectory the tip of the knife points toward the target. The throwing distances in the full spin and in the half spin throws are specific. For example: If you are able to make your knife stick with the full spin throw from 12 ft, you cannot make it stick if you throw it from 10 or 14 ft – that is – predicated on you not changing the grip and the manner of throwing. In the no spin throw (it is really about a quarter spin) it is a range of distance from arms length to maybe up to 15 feet. Farther than 12 ft, it becomes difficult to make the knife stick in the no spin throw.

There is no trick to throwing a knife, a tomahwk or machete. It’s all about practice. Everything throws different, has a different balance and way of holding. But one thing is consistent, it’s not about upper body strength and how hard you can throw it’s actually almost the opposite. You want a good smooth throw.
Practice! Hours of practice. I took up knife throwing as a hobby because I now live in a metropolitan neighborhood and have limited backyard space. I throw no-spin which basically keeps the knife point forward in flight so there’s less need to gauge distance from the target accurately like more common or traditional spinning knife throwing. The trick to this is to counter the arc of the throwing arm by stroking one’s finger down the handle as the knife is released. Sometimes when I get it wrong, the knife flies across the space oriented vertically and just smacks into the wood. When it’s really right, you can hear an aggressive whoosh from the knife cutting through the air fast and that very satisfying THUNK! I throw a 12 inch long, half pound, carbon steel knife as a reference.
Most knife-throwing techniques involve the knife spinning around it’s center of balance. So, the “trick” is judging the distance from the target which will result in the knife arriving at the target point-first. Throwing knives are generally designed to be thrown from the handle, or from the blade. In the case of a blade-thrown weapon, there is a distance at which the knife will rotate one-half circle and arrive point first. Or, you can double the distance and then it will make 1 1/2 turns. With a handle-thrown knife, it requires the distance allows one full turn. Or double that distance to make two full turns. If your knife strikes point “down”…. You need to move foreword a little. If it arrives point “up”… You need to move back. Once you get the distance down, and your grip and release are consistent… It’s pretty easy to “stick” the knife reliably.
Ehhhh emm Really u don’t need to throw a knife but it’s awesome so I’ll show u how to do it in a fake way Take a cardboard box Take a cheap thin throwing knife that u can get on Amazon for like 5 99 idk Grasp the handle with ur middle index and thumb fingers idk and throw it lightly but with lots of force Don’t just chuck it like a freaking maniac Do it lightly Note : this only works at kinda close range Note 2 : u could also just watch a video on how to do it on utube I mean come on ur looking on this godforsaken website Plz comment bye
The following things you should remember while throwing a knife:
1. Always use a fixed blade knife for throwing purpose
2. Make sure that you are holding the knife from the hand grip to throw it.
3. Make an aim at the object you are about to hit.
4. Calculate the speed through which you should throw it, that would be enough to strike on the object.
5. Keep your body posture straight so that you don’t miss the aim.

Overhand, straight forward. Make sure it’s balanced, meaning you can balance it on a finger from the middle of the knife (both halves weigh the same).
