Cool video, I usually think of this sort of thing as only useful to the zombie-apocalypse crowd, but this could be useful for hunting too.
Good Prep Training - The no-spin throw.
While I'm still not a big proponent of placing too much of ones prep time and resources into throwing knives, I thought many would like this instructional.
It is how to throw a knife -almost any kind of knife- without inducing spin.
As all of you who practise knife throwing now, the challenge of spin defines where, how and with what technique you throw the knife from different distances. The no-spin throw eliminates this concern. I've tried it, and haven't mastered it by any means, but it still generates a lot of penetrating force. Hope this is useful for members.

My old residence we used to have home search drills late at nite where one person would wake the other person up in the middle of the night and we would select a weapon and search the house without making a sound or turning on a light.
I don't know how much good this skill will ever do anyone, but it looks like fun. And who knows, maybe it will come in handy at some point?
I've thrown knives for fun before and I am all right at it. I understood this guy's technique and I think it would work. He's just using his fingers atop the handle to eliminate the spin. Not saying it's easy to learn, but it makes sense to me.

This does have a very real world use.I don't know how much good this skill will ever do anyone, but it looks like fun. And who knows, maybe it will come in handy at some point?

If you have any daughters just be practicing this on a man sized target aiming for the groin when her date shows up. Then let him know about your rules.
I've always thought knife throwing would be fun, but I never had any throwing knives or the know-how. After seeing the video I grabbed one of my knives and within a few minutes had it sticking into a tree. It's surprisingly easy this way.
Glad some folks found it useful. I also like that the presenter doesn't come across as a tough guy, just some dude in his golf shirt. Those shots of throwing the freaking swords into the post were impressive. One came out the other side

.Interesting. Yes, I can see this could be useful. If you've run out of ammunition or have had it stolen, or you don't want the sound of gunshots, you can hunt rabbits or other small animals with knife throwing. You would have to be awfully good at it, but it's possible.
Update;
Well, have tried this toss when hiking for about a week now, and it still feels goofy. I feel like a rather 'limp' person trying to toss a baseball. However a few times the knives have been embedded in the tree's very deep. An interesting technique, but I'm not going to be devoting too much time to it. I'll just try it every few times I'm throwing the knives.

This is one of my favorite throws, since it's easy and works with just about anything. I mean, the guy used a sword blade, and it stuck.
If you were needing to hunt could you become proficent with a sharp stick faster that throwing a knife? It's just easy to have a knife with you.
