can you use this weapon for throwing?

Well, I guess you could...but it is more for slashing and hacking than throwing. If that is what you would do to a threat, I suggest getting throwing knives or a small hatchet.

You can use this weapon for throwing... but i can't see a LOGICAL reason to throw this weapon in particular, unless you trained months on months on end, and it was the only option to save our life. There is a hole in the pummel, big enough for a small rope to go through, that might make throwing easier. It is heavy, and it is a great machete and defensive weapon, well built and about the sturdiest thing I own. id give it 10 stars for that. As a throwing weapon id have to give it 1 star.

No. THey are hard to rotate and even harder to stick consistently. Ive been throwing knives for about 6 years now, the best for beginners is a knife that is 12-15 inches, weighing about an ounce every inch. THey rotate better and are easier to throw.

We just used for throwing at targets. It broke very easily after being thrown into a tree or plywood

My ten year old son uses it for defense. Great for defense but I don't believe the ball will return at pitching distance. If it doesn't return completely it's still better than throwing at a five gallon bucket.

Yes it is capable if your familiar with throwing axes/knives but I wouldn't suggest it, it's pretty solid (and sharp) but I wouldn't chance something like that.

Yes, you can, however I really would not recommend it....like, don't do it! My husband got "ballooned" in the chest from 200 feet away and sported a large red welt from the shot. It packs quite a wallop, so if you are launching t-shirts into a crowd (like at a football game), someone could get seriously hurt... This blaster is quite strong!

The knife is stainless, and with a near-perfect throw spinning /with/ the grain of an oak board, might stick fast. I would suggest throwing at a softer target, or ideally at log cross-sections. If you are throwing at oak log cross-sections (disks made by cutting an oak log twice through 3-4 inches apart), then you would be fine with these. They are not ideal for sticking in hard targets, however. 12-inch, heavier knives like the Expendables replicas available on Amazon are better for hard wood practice. Remember that a throwing knife is not meant for hard targets. The device just doesn't work well that way. These small knives are plenty durable for me so far, though. Just try not to hit any stone or concrete, and make sure you are throwing with good pace.

I throw mine. It is heavier than a traditional throwing spear but it does work as one. Your range is going to be somewhat limited due to the weight. I would suggest upgrading the shaft to a lighter wood or some type of composite. I throw mine into pine rounds and am thoroughly impressed with the strength and flexibility of the spear head itself.

I think so - I used it for combat simulations and throwing practice, and the blade hasn't snapped off yet. It stings a bit if you're hit with it when it's thrown, but nobody has been injured.

It clearly states it's not for prying or throwing, as the tip WILL break. If your intention is to do one or the other, find yourself a knife that's made for such things or buy yourself a cheap one.

Yes you can. This is a great item. My wife uses it for a mixing bowl also. But for it's intended purpose this spinner does real well.

I got the trainer for this, hoping it would help in training on my Sog Fasthawk, and it was huge by comparison. The handle is longer than I'd like for throwing. If you want a thrower, a SOG fasthawk was really nice to learn on. Choke up a bit, and its like throwing a giant throwing star.

I have not tried it. I have been told you can, but it will tear real softballs up quickly.

Yes, I have tried throwing it at my brother and it went into his shoulder through his Russell sweater. He is okay though, he wanted me to do it.

Yes if you rotate it 360º it can change from assault to barrage mode and it comes with a string launcher for maximum spin.

This is my first "throwing" weapon that I have bought and it is perfect to my standards. A few of my friends have said that the front is slightly to heavy but I don't see that problem.

I don't see why not; but I wouldn't try it; this knife is a little too ornate (not to mention heavy) to be used as a throwing knife...
