"From knives and knife throwing techniques to competition and advice, as well as profiles of pioneers and legends in the field, this book covers it all."—Bobby Branton, President of American Knife Thrower's Alliance (AKTA)
Not only is knife throwing fun, it is also a great sport, entertainment, recreation and exercise. It can be a wonderful pastime, or even a profession, and the fundamentals are easy to learn. Anyone who can throw a stone, or baseball can also learn how to throw a knife with skill and accuracy. All you need is a good knife—designed for the purpose, whether made to throw by the handle or blade, a target, and a small portion of the back yard for the throwing range.
