My biggest mistake was the release

[@winstongludovatz111]

Buying cheap knives. Even medium priced knives are mostly no good. You want knives that are 6mm thick at least. Even though Adam is now a greedy capitalist all things considered his knives are the best deal I know of and I speak as one designing his own knives and getting them from laser cutters. Unless that is whatt you want to do as a hobby I do not recommend this approach.

[@damiendavenschot8784]

Getting cheap trowers deffo my bigest mistake

[@damiendavenschot8784]

If only the discount would be longer hehe im not there yet sadly

[@isaacmartinez8313]

"Hello my friends" always puts me in a good mood

[@killiananderson8257]

How crazy is it to think back to your first videos years ago, and now you are the most famous knife thrower on KZbin, and maybe even the world? Im glad to be a part of that journey.

[@AdamCeladin]

Its been crazy ride ,))

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

I wish I had found his content sooner. I think I first seem him on Jeorg Spraves channel as I shoot slingshots. After watching some videos recently i thought id have a good and its good fun.

[@batzpfsaddict2806]

Sorry i mean have a go.

[@killiananderson8257]

@@batzpfsaddict2806 Yeah, there’s nothing quite like sticking a knife in a tree. I think it it the sense of simplicity and accomplishment.

[@utrak]

Most importantly: beware ricochets. Be very careful when throwing from short distance, avoid throwing at uneven targets. If you throw at a standing dead tree, you will mostly get ricochets to the sides away from you. MOSTLY. If you throw at a fallen dead tree, you can very easily get a ricochet off the upper curvature of the trunk and the knife will come straight back at'cha. I've tried this, lots of blood and a few stitches. Safety aside, my biggest problems have been lost throwing items. I've started to add brightly colored tape and/or paint on my knives and shuriken, and I always keep a metal detector handy. The metal detector has saved the day countless times now, but the bright colors have made the detector unnecessary even more often. I've also recently switched from dead trees to simple homemade targets. Just a wooden sidegrain board made from normal planks, so much better than trying to find the perfect dead tree in the perfect indisturbed location.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you for nice comment my friend ,)

[@Freedom-cd8dr]

I already have 2 cuts from ricochets after only 1 day of practice I wish I knew this sooner😂

[@clasicks6670]

Just yesterday threw my knives at a tree from a few feet away and to my surprise it ricochet right back at me with the same force I threw it at. Hit me right in ribs but luckily it hit me with the bold side otherwise I would have punctured my lungs.😬

[@stevenjett701]

Lost throwing stars ruin the whole day!

[@MidnightatMidian]

Only had problems with ricochet with cheap knives at close range. Never lost a knife, and I've always practiced at dead trees. It's quite obvious that you shouldn't throw those things like playing darts, but anyway.. Good tips for beginners is too always wear ample clothes cut resistant, and cheap working protective glass, and a beanie to protect your head, even in summer. This way I've never hurt myself. Never throw uphill also, THAT can be seriously dangerous, but it's quite obvious also.

[@jerrylikethemouse5363]

Adam is probably one of the easiest people to learn from. Not only is his positive and cheerful. His insight is invaluable to the beginner. Got say my mistake was buying WKTL first set. Apparently they didn't make them very well.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you my friend WKTL is just money grab same like their axe bussines 😎😅🔪

[@killiananderson8257]

My biggest mistake with no spin was probably the release.

[@WhiteApeMA]

Rope dart is my primary skill for ten years. And the one I've been using most is a throwing knife. But in my years, man I have thrown everything. Silverware, chopsticks, nails, stars, spikes, screwdrivers, and all kinds of knives. I got my whole family into knife throwing and you were the main thing I showed them for ideas. I made many of these beginner mistakes but I will keep improving. I am getting your knives soon. And maybe someday you and I will throw together. I am also a lefty. 😊

[@AdamCeladin]

Hell yeah ,)

[@tito2gonzo460]

Bro I also look forward to throwing knives as soon as I wake up until I finish the day and fall asleep. Thanks you for the best free knife throwing tutorials.

[@instantbeansoup]

Nice to see these beginner videos coming out, Adam!

[@solimarkwok6911]

I love how you give tips to help us, like overthinking, as well as tips for our convenience/safety like not throwing next to a pile of branches. I really apreciate that thoughtfulness.

[@killiananderson8257]

Can't wait for more knife throwing content!

[@fulltangclan]

Great advice man. I totally agree with what you said about not mixing techniques. Stick with one set of knives and whatever technique you like best and master that before moving on. 🤘🏻🔪

You know it all brother ,)) I learned from the best ,)) FullTangClan #KnifeLife

[@sos_dawson6101]

My knives are just to light I’m planning on going to knife works in Tennessee to buy better ones though if I don’t find one probably gonna get one from Ace Jet ;))

[@AdamCeladin]

Get some for sure ,))

[@demonsecurity3916]

Was just there over black friday they had some junk sets and good sets

[@nickcarroll8640]

Just wanna say your videos helped me a lot. I'm working on the no spin technique. And before I went from not sticking much of anything and breaking the tip off one knife. To throwing with confidence and sticking it 95% of the time.

[@mistahanansi2264]

"What was your mistake when you were starting out?" You made a video detailing most of my mistakes... and it's THIS video xD

[@davemiller7472]

Your a great teacher man, I threw haphazardly for years. A few minutes of listening to and watching you,greatly improved my understanding of throwing mechanics! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ILL BE WATHCHING MORE!

[@mouadip1727]

biggest mistake i was trying to hard and rush for long distance!!i listen classic metal or nice conversations about philoshofy history mythology and when i hear something smart i nail it hard

[@ch0cchip704]

My biggest mistake all that was mentioned apart from the giving up! But after your help it's coming together thank you Adam 👍

[@arnolfodesign]

Appreciate your tutorials. Very instructive, clear and has helped me to stick with learning to throw.

[@yankeetimeline]

Alot of good advice. A lot of beginners get excited and don't consider these things. Have always learned alot from the beginning from all your videos!

[@seanrutter1910]

Lost a knife in some logs. Now I know to set up my chop blocks more in the open. Getting another set of knives soon. Mistakes and failure are more important for cultivating success and I'm glad I haven't been deterred from my experience :)

[@larryweimer4511]

Great video, Adam. My mistake was thinking that no spin knife throwing was near impossible and only in the movie's. I learned no spin from watching your channel and now I practice it almost exclusively. Knife throwing took on a whole new dimension of fun and challenge for me. Thanks so much brother. 👍✌

[@jukurodrigues]

I painted my knives red for easier finding in nature especially when throwing with friends :) still matter of time to lose some of them :D

[@mythicanic]

Hahaha I made a video about that then lost one of mine the next day

[@1014p]

I lost one in my office throwing in card board. I searched everywhere for it, quite odd.

[@winstongludovatz111]

One more hint: keep the knives in boiled linseed oil (rust protection). If you throw in the woods add a light ribbon in a neon color. It makes them much easier to find once they have embedded themselves in leaves or in the soil. Has saved me a couple of times.

[@markjolliff3668]

Adam my friend and teacher thank you for this video. I've mentioned this kind of content for awhile and the Master has delivered!!!

[@-s4734]

Few weeks ago I made myself a set of 3 throwing knives from Ikea butcher's knives and I started practicing. Believe me, after a bit of sanding and hardening on the point, they started to stick like spears in the wood planks, also if not in the direction of the fibers. I'm having so much fun at throwing them and at building new ones from metal scratches. All this because of you, thank you so much Adam

[@dynatic4384]

This video helped me a ton. My biggest mistake was definetely overthinking about the details, that you've told in your tutorials - especially the wrist ( not bending it during the release ). I was so focused about not doing it, that I overstiffened it and I can't still figure it out, how stiff is too stiff. Tell me, is throwing the knife in some ways similar to throwing for example a ball ( without bending the wrist etc. ) ? My worst mistake is definetely the envirorment, that I live in - there's high grass everywhere, the ground for any target stand is uneven, so after 5 minutes it collapses etc. Thanks for mentioning those targets made from trunk or dead trees. I want to obtain those soon. And lastly - thank you for everything, that you do. Maks from Poland

[@zadh]

I think hat I like most about knife throwing is the sound of the blade pinning to the dead wood. Unique sound.

[@oakland002]

Great tips Took me 3-5 months (self taught ) to be able to hit my targets with my compound bow .

I've started throwing with the small hibben set knifes that you showed. The bigger sets (in size) are muuuch better. Specially the Tanto one. Small set is good for short distance spinning technique, but wayyy too light for long distance throws.

[@aaronbookchrome4579]

On the point (pun) of throwing nets and back drops to retain your items when the target is missed, I've had good luck with moving pads. They're cheap, available at most hardware stores, and if you double or triple them up and drape them as a backdrop, they're dense enough to catch your items and deliver them to the ground/floor more gently, they're tough enough to take a lot of abuse. And the price is low enough that it doesn't hurt to tear them up. The only draw back is that they can be a little small.

[@weisswurstfruhstuck8523]

What I still do often “wrong” especially in the beginning is throwing to fast take your time between the throws no one is pushing you. But on the other hand when I started to be too theoretical and to brain focused it helped me sometimes to put my throwing speed frequency up or down to get a different feel or to just get out of the often problematic over thinking process while throwing. Maybe that helps someone :)

Unfortunately when I started throwing, when I was very young, there were no videos (no such thing as KZbin) to watch and I threw between three live trees. Was good practice because their proximity was consistent, but yeah, if I knew better I would have made a target. You live you learn, but I had fun and learned a skill on my own, with good knives and cheap knives.
