Damascus Throwing Knives

History of Throwing Knives

Knife-throwing is a sport or martial art technique where a professional throws knives at or around a target. The process is similar to archery, except that a steel throwing knife replaces the bow and arrow. This act was popularized as performance art in the US around the late 19th century via traveling circus groups.

There are various throwing techniques in linear and spin variations, and professionals use varying styles of throwing knives based on their preferred method. If you’re a beginner, it’s important to learn about the blade types for simple techniques so you can practice. Once you get the feel of it, you will better understand what to get next.

Use and Care for Damascus Throwing Knives

Because throwing a knife at a target inherently involves the blade getting in contact with a lot of friction, the blades can get dull quickly. This is why Damascus throwing knives are a great option—they retain their edge longer. However, bear in mind to always choose soft targets specifically designed for knife-throwing practice so you can keep your Damascus throwing knives safe from friction abuse.
