It is necessary
1) Throwing knife
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to talk about choosing a knife. Throwing a kitchen knife, which is designed to cut bread, will be quite problematic. Of course, it is best to throw a knife that is designed for this purpose. These are mainly army specialized knives, but now you can buy a good throwing knife on the Internet. If we talk about the mass and balancing of the knife, then the mass should be about two hundred grams. Balancing is checked as follows. You need to put a knife on the index finger of your right hand, in the place where the handle ends and the blade begins. With the index finger of your left hand, hold the tip of the knife in a horizontal position. When releasing the index finger of the left hand, the handle should be pulled to the floor, but the knife should not fall. Otherwise, the handle must be lightened.

Of course, finding the perfect knife is difficult, in which case you need to be guided by the fact that a heavy knife is easier to throw than a light one. You need to learn to throw a knife from a distance of one and a half to two meters. Gradually increasing to 7 - 8 meters. Throwing a knife over ten meters is often a myth. Now about the grip. We hold the knife by the handle, while the tip is directed towards the target, the handle is in the palm of your hand, four fingers hold the knife handle from below. The thumb, bent at a 45 degree angle, rests on the knife, but should not cross the line of the bent index finger.
Step 3
When gripping the blade, consider the position of the hand. The hand should be straight, its appearance should resemble a fist. And the knife should be at an angle of 45 degrees. When throwing, the hand that produces it should release the knife at the moment when the arm is fully extended.
Step 4
Getting down to practice, it must be said that for each person his throwing style will be created intuitively. Therefore, practice should be regular. Always use sharp knives.
