Conclusion And Reality Check
This brings me to a reality check. The "hobbyists" have an advantage, accuracy and consistency. The throws are definitely more accurate and since they throw from the same distances with a known rotation without having to guess and adjust, they tend to have a higher stick rate, at least from what I’ve seen.
The
reality is that I don’t like the idea of giving up such a great weapon if the
tactic is not so reliable. There are also many people who get stuck or
stabbed once, and keep right on going. True, they've just been
stuck. But, now they have your knife, even if they have to pull it out of
themselves. Remember, movies are not real! People don't always die
or stop with one cut or one shot. If you don't have a stack of knives, A
better approach tactically would be to work on a fast pitch with a nice rock,
something heavy enough to cause some damage but that can be thrown easily. A good hidden fast pitch to
the head can end a confrontation. A
good one to the body at about 70mph can cause a great stun to get in and
work the enemy over with the blade you are still holding. If you miss, you still have your knife.
If you
want to let off some steam and have some fun with a great hobby, knife throwing
is fun. Tactically, you may find it
useful if you are a extremely accurate and carry more then one knife. Otherwise, pick up a rock, piece of
steel, or even some canned food.
Work on a nice throw without telegraphing it (hide the fact you are
throwing) then come in and cut. Of
course, there is always the cool factor of being able to throw knives well, at
least among weirdoes like me.
