Finding your distance with the flame-tip knife
Every thrower has a distance at which a given knife lands point-first, and finding it is the first job with any of our throwing knives from Pakistan.
- Stand about three big steps from the target and throw with the handle grip, using the same smooth motion every time.
- Watch how the knife strikes. If the flame-tipped pommel is tilted upwards, the knife has over-rotated: move half a step closer.
- If the pommel points down, it has not turned far enough: step back by the same amount.
- Once three throws in a row stick, mark that spot; it is your distance for this knife and this grip.
- Check it again whenever you switch grip or knife, since a heavier or lighter model may need a slightly different line.
