Stage knife throwing has its own name
Throwing knives around a standing assistant is known as the impalement arts, a circus and variety-theatre act for well over a century. Performers throw matched sets of plain, one-piece knives, because every knife must fly exactly like the last. A Pakistan dagger like this one, cut from a single 2.5 mm stainless plate with two loop cutouts in the grip, follows the same logic on a much humbler backyard target.
