knives are slightly more
difficult to master for beginners.
Other facts about throwing knives.
Do not be surprised if throwing knives do not resemble
regular combat knives. Many throwing knives are flat and
do not have regular wood or plastic handles. They can be
used in hand-to-hand combat, but that is not their primary
function.
A note on throwing ordinary knives and miscellaneous
objects:
Any knife (or any object which can be picked up) can be
thrown effectively, once a Ninja understands both how an
object is balanced, and the basics of throwing: judging
distance, throwing methods and rotations. This includes
knives and objects not specifically designed for throwing:
hunting knives, kitchen knives, and even items seldom
considered to have potential as weapons, such as ice picks,
scissors and screwdrivers. Once the basics of knife throwing
contained in this book are learned, a Ninja can apply those
same principles to throwing almost anything.
