Knives for throwing - sports and combat weapons

Throwing knives is an exciting activity for serious men. This is a sport that requires some physical preparation, attention, concentration, persistent training. At the same time throwing blades is a real martial art. Knives for throwing, daggers and stilettos with a short blade are all surviving to this day representatives of the "family" of knives. So any bladed thrower, who in the company of friends will tell about his hobby, will certainly receive his portion of attention, respect and admiration.

You can throw any knife, even table, but only as entertainment, for example, to pierce a portrait of a harmful boss, an enemy or a poster of a bored pop artist. A professional thrower needs a real knife for throwing.

Combat blades are lost even with a successful hit, so they are considered a tool for a single use. This is the reason for the design of the product: the knives for throwing should be cheap, simple, easy to disguise, but at the same time have good damaging properties and ensure the effectiveness of throwing. A typical foreign model is a pointed metal plate and does not have a handle in its usual form. Most often, it is a continuation of the blade and is separated from it by a rudimentary guard, a protruding stop or a small notch. At the end of the handle there may be a hole for fastening. Knives for throwing are often stored in special cassettes, which can be mounted on the arm or leg. In our country, such a design of throwing weapons has not been widely developed due to climatic features. For most of the year the population wears warm clothes: sheepskin coats, jackets, coats and fur coats. Light knives for throwing simply can not penetrate all layers of clothing and cause significant harm to a person. Therefore, in case of acute necessity, Russian soldiers throw ordinary army knives.

In sports throwing models there is not much variety, so when choosing one should be guided by the size, weight and shape of the product, balancing and the quality of steel. From this will depend both the predictability of the flight of the knife, the accuracy of getting into the target, and the durability of the weapon. A good set of knives for throwing will be an excellent gift for any man and an incentive to engage in this sport.

First, a beginner in the art of throwing should achieve a confident entry and retention of the blade in the target, the so-called "sticking". Of the ten knives left in the target, at least seven should remain sticking out in the target. Only after this, you can begin to sharpen the accuracy of the hit.

Training will look like a repetition of the same action, and then parse all the smallest details of the technique of throwing. By the way, the exact result depends not only on good technique, but also on a person's psychological state, on how well he can concentrate, on his self-control and self-control. Of physical qualities, a beginner athlete should have only good coordination of movements, everything else he will work out in the training process, practicing not only the throw of the knife, but also the remaining phases of throwing: swing, brush work, acceptance of the starting position.
