throwing knife
Tossed combat blade
A throwing knife is a blade designed to be hurled at a target rather than used for cutting or stabbing in hand.
These knives are typically balanced for rotation in flight, with a weighted handle or blade depending on throwing technique.
They appear in circus acts, martial arts training, and competitive knife throwing.
