can this knife be thrown?

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...

Short answer is yes, it can. It is very sturdy, but heavy, in a pinch to save a life, if I had to, I might throw it. But this is not a balanced throwing knife, it is a beefy, heavy, double edged dagger style seath knife, and quite frankly its almost nice enough to be a work of art. The picture does not do justice to the damascius deep rich pattern. I have throwing knifes, and was also very good throwing the Sykes-Fairbairn and K-Bar military fighting knives, this one would not be one I would chose to use in that way.

Any knife can be thrown, some better than others. This is not a full tang knife, but rather a "rat tail". Like the end of a file without a handle. A good design if metal is scarce or full tang is not needed. This type of knife was meant to be used as a stabbing weapon to find, penetrate and if needed, left behind in an armored soldier/knight. Because of the weakness of the handle this is not a good thrower. Without hours of practice you should not throw away your only tool/weapon.

I certainly haven't tried it, but I see no reason why it could not be so. It is only two inches thick,so a sharp utility knife should do the job. Use a heavy straight edge, like a piece of lumber, to guide the cut. Happy sailing!

Unfortunately It will not.Still that being said it is a phenomenal knife and I think you would truly enjoy it.Best Regards and thanks for the interest.

Yes, but don't dare hit anything with it, aside from the steak knife quality of the blade snapping, the molded plastic handle will probably shatter. In a zombie apocalypse this is best improvised into a stabing weapon.

I think so. The knife is reportedly stronger and holds an edge longer but I have not tried to break it or had a need to sharpen it.

there are too many ways to throw a knife, there are also plenty of X-factors involved. the best way to learn is youtube it, or find someone in your area who can teach you.

I am sure you can. I have only used it for a cake, but the knife didn't harm the plate or knife at all.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

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.

Never tried, but I don't think so... unless you plan on snapping the blade using it as leverage

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.

No its not a throwing knife at all. Look for throwing knives on Amazon where they are made to throw. Do your homework on knives before u get them.

This would not be the knife you are looking for. The handle is made of plastic. There's no strength behind this knife blade.

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

I suppose you could if you want but it wouldn't work very well at all.If you're looking for a knife to throw without spin, I definitely wouldn't buy these.

Yes I do but I wouldn't unless necessary. It is still a folding knife and you might damage locking system. I did use it that way once and still works fine.
