Getting a light, slim knife to stick
At 105 g, this is the lightest knife in our throwing range, and it reacts to every flick of the wrist. These steps tame it:
- Try the blade grip first: pinch the flat of the slim spear point between thumb and fingers, with the loop end pointing up as you raise your arm.
- Keep the wrist firm; a light knife exaggerates any snap and over-rotates.
- Swing smoothly, release at eye level and let the arm finish pointing at the target.
- Start about three paces out and adjust by half a step until the point lands first.
Slim, light throwing knives from Pakistan like this one are kind to the arm over long sessions, so they suit throwers who practise often.
