I just learned professional knife throwing exists. Thanks Internet. I enjoyed this match.

Knife and ax throwing is difficult but knife and ax catching is really hard.

oh it's the type of day when we go from competitive air hockey to this.

[erikabimbo]

This is one of a few sports that is more fun to participate in, than to sit and watch.

[winstonallen]

It's great that there is a world knife throwing league but I wish they would expand the styles of knife throwing and knives and allow throws like military half spin and no spin throwing.

[sarasarah]

this isnt knife throwing, this is knife tossing...

[johnwilliam]

Still more watchable and interesting than the WNBA.

[ronwheeler]

Me and my buddies throw knives on the farm where we live. Betting and competition is fierce and a bad day can get expensive but we love it

How many different countries competed in this world championship?

I must've missed this in Obscure Sports Quarterly

I think you guys should do a lot more combat simulation knife throwing. Get their heart rate going, have them turn around at the sound of a beep then be timed and scored for quickest throw and most accurate. Put them on a course, like professional shooters. That's what i wanna see! Show me the best knife throwing warrior, not the best knife throwing nerd.

What are the measurements for the 2 new bullseye?

[Escatonic]

Blah. Single rotation darts, I call it. A much more interesting competition would be random distances and moving targets. The competitors would have to decide on rotation and direction with every throw. THAT is when you'd see the really skilled throwers.

Some of the world championships they invent in America are hilarious.

[simeonemascarpone]

This is cool. But I feel like the camera needs a close-up. It's hard to see where it landed like this.

So all those years i spent throwing knives for fun and getting yelled at were for nothing? I could have been training for an actual league? Hahaha

[Greenminded]

I’ve been throwing for a few decades. This looks more like darts than knife throwing. Still impressive though.

My dad made me some throwing knives when I was a kid (probably to get me to stop throwing his hunting knife), it was great fun. You can make a good set from flat bar stock with not much more than a hacksaw and a file. A bench grinder helps, though. No need to buy fancy daggers.

[Hungrybird]

What kind of knives are these fellas using ? Maker and name, thanks

[coachk]

LOL yeah was like watching bowling...the judges added more entertainment 😂 maybe if the targets were moving
