Would this work for throwing knives?

Boy, i'm not sure. Takes a 30lb kids bow and arrow well. Not a whole lot of penetration. If you have a large open space with nothing behind it, might work

Would it work I think yes. Would it hold up for very long probably not. The regular tip arrows wedge in between the layers I think throwing knives would tear them up.

I don't see why this sharpener wouldn't work for other knives also. It simply consists of 3 ceramic grinding wheels of different grit. Global is a company which produces knives.

I bought it strictly for kitchen knives, but I suppose it would be ok for your Kabar if you were GENTLE with it. Remember: this is one of those "scrape metal from the edge" sharpeners. It just has an adjustable angle. If you really want to do right by your Kabar, get a stone and a set of ceramic rods...

I would think so. I have this KA-BAR Potbelly, and it will sharpen that. http://www.kabar.com/knives/detail/39

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.

Projectile weapons typically are not efficient for killings zombies. Throwing knives would be better served as a tool or self defense against humanity's other faction that you'll ultimately have to fight. Likely they will capture you, and their Che Guevara look alike will make you play basketball while only have a couple hours left before a horrible poison destroys your body. Welcome to the human race.

Seems like it would work. The construction is tougher than the knife rolls I have seen. Some of the pockets are obviously too narrow for blades though. The only thing I would be concerned with its the depth of the pockets. You might have quite a bit of blade exposed on some chef knives.

Yes, provided one replaces the gripping material. Holding by the tang is fine for throwing, but not recommended for close quarters usage.

yes, but without a base of the sharpmaker system it may be hard depending on blade size. if you are purchasing this for just hand sharpening by itself I would look at there double sided stones or pocket stones by spyderco instead

Wouldn't be very effective, no more than any other plastic shovel. It's "blade" is probably a half inch wide. Look into backpacking latrine digging shovels maybe? Cold steel has some knives meant for actual stabbing made of composite plastic. This is just for training I think.

I wouldn't if I were you, it's really a quick and dirty machine. Maybe with a lot of experience it would work. You have to be really careful with kitchen knives too.

Yes, but the product isn't worth it. The blades will break on the first throw.

See I hold it with my thumb and my index finger and have the ring in my palm, so as a "Knife" the handle is kinda small though not unreasonable, but for a throwing knife I find it just fine. It really depends how your gonna be using them.

I think it could work well for that purpose. It's perfect for my 4" knife blades. I have to used a larger 8" Norton India Stone for my 6" or greater blades. The diamond sharpener will resharpen a blade in decent shape. If a blade has lost its' edge completely then a courser stone is needed.

I've never used it for that purpose, but don' t think it will work. I primarily use it for slicing.

I would think so. Im pretty sure I saw other websites selling this product for just that. Basically if its steel and not serated, you can use any sharpening stone for it

No, it's mainly for decoration. You might be able to get it sharpened and make sure every screw is tight, and then it should be okay to throw. I'm not an expert but I do have my fair share of tomahawks.
