I've been watching your videos 4 awhile now and I like them. You are informative and knowledgeable, easy to understand, thank you. PS. Keep up the rambling it keeps it lite and enjoyable thanks again

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Glad you like them!

[@terrancecoard388]

Well lookey here...I got two of those Glock knives and a lot of trees!! Now where is my can of red spray paint‽

Thx for the video. Throwing knives is a lot of fun. Me & my son pass the time at deer camp throwing. We have always enjoyed ur videos & ur state of the art balance rotation test at the end of a most knife reviews

[@Johonavich49]

Nice knives. Very helpful thanks Brian!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Any time!

[@klimenkor]

That was an interesting point of view. After trying many knives with profiles like the ones you presented, I ended up using spikes as my favorites. Especially good for no-spin throwing.

[@crossfirebass]

Thanks for the video. Good knowledge. I also just laughed way too hard at the "adolescent" comment at the end. I needed that.

[@MaxDickings]

Hey Brian, you should look into the no spin and low spin techniques that Jason Johnson uses, it's more of a "combat" throwing style than a show style.

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@jawachew8117]

I bought Smith and Wesson throwing knives....never again lol. Those were my first throwing knives purchase. Big mistake. I'm a beginner obviously. Good video! Especially for a guy just getting into it!

[@indianprepper2478]

Thanks for Most awaited video , I love to Throw knife But I never use a Special throwing knives like these . They had limited use & purpose , I rather do throwing practice on my Main primary EDC knife Like SCHF 42 , Uncle Henry OR Mora.

[@agileep]

Adolescent comments to yourself was 😂 it killed me lmao. Thank you bought knives when I was 10 and didn’t know what the hell I was doing 30 years. Later you make a video and now i know. Thank you 🙏🏿 stay safe.

have an upcoming scouting mission to WV to look at some remote lands do but.... and if possible I'd love to set some bioniculars before the trip gets too close.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Sounds great!

[@theanonymissionary2450]

Nice video - was thinking about getting into this. I’d love to see a follow up on your favorite general knives (like the Glock) that are good belt blades but also good throwers. Blessings and keep checking the balance no matter what the paperwork says 😉

@@SurvivalOnPurpose Just like that lol. My bad, dunno how I missed that one. Thanks.

[@EnFyr]

No need to wait :) just find a log and start throwing. Preferably with something heavier like MR said. Have fun! :)

[@brandonpausta2206]

Cold steel throwers are nice very nice actually they have about 5 different sizes

[@cosmesimon7324]

You should try flat wood drill, 14mm are the best for no spin throwing, and they are extremly cheap

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

But then it would be drill bit throwing, not knife throwing ;-)

[@Punicia]

Just got some S&W knives. Great for if zombies are around…

[@conorashdown1052]

Thank You sir

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Most welcome

[@WhoThisMonkey]

A true master knife thrower, can throw any knife, whilst standing on any surface. I myself learned with pieces of broken kitchen blades and anything with a point that could stick. Having a set of really good knives can help you hone technique mind.

[@alexanderammerl2404]

Not a fan of full spin throwing because you are limited to set distances. I would suggest the military half spin for beginners. Otherwise good video man :)

[@michaelhumphrey5268]

Thank you

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You're welcome

[@ronp4851]

Hello Brian! What size is your target and what size board did you use? Is the end grain target behind the new one a better way to go, or not worth the extra work? I'm building one for my daughter. Thank you!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

The end grain target was a total failure. I spent about $50 on lumber and several hours cutting 4x4 blocks and then they shrunk as they dried out. The one I am using is just 3 pieces of 2x6 about 32” long screwed to a frame. The red circle is about the size of a paper plate.

[@ronp4851]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose Thank you! Awesome channel!!

[@user-mx8qf4vq1k]

Survival with purpose...I can't do with a target ATM...but I practice today d

[@2u263]

Thank you. How do you figure out the center point of a knife?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Center point- with a ruler. Balance point- just balance it on your finger.

[@jomorkenstrseth3526]

Can we see some no spin throws with the same knives as they look really good for that

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I am still working on that

[@wellregulated8725]

I see a lot of familiar knives on there. Throwing knifes has gotten a lot more popular recently…. My knife throwing videos don’t get much traffic…

[@TheJKDGuy]

Hell Yeah 💪🔪❤️👍

[@andrewtemme4471]

Save your adolescent comments for someone else. I laughed so hard at that 😂😂

[@forwhatitsworth364]

I like pillows. My Dr says im not to play with sharp things.

[@cockamamiebumfuzzle9331]

Good luck finding the Glock knife without the saw back spine for less than $70 . You can find the one with the saw for $35- $40 very easily.

I just started today trying to learn how to throw knives. This video was really helpful to me thank you. Earned a sub from me

[@nikolas_schreck]

I was going to get the ka-bar ones but it says they come unsharpened that's stupid

[@laszlokaminszky7180]

Real throwing knifes should be not sharp...

[@kaptinbarfbeerd1317]

It's just the tips that need sharpening really

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

I disagree on your assessment of not having an edge being unimportant an edge facilitates penetration because it allows the knife to go in easier unless you're dealing with a spike type throwing device then edge will matter My two cents

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yea, it will stick a little better. But...Having an edge generally makes a knife more expensive and it also makes it easier to hurt yourself when learning.

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose Yes, a diamond sharpener saves me lots. Dull "practice" blades cost less, true, & that saves you a lot,...if you can sharpen half decently better still. Also, probably pretty handy if you're forced to engage in close quarters/hand2hand melee, I'm guessing, ya? Wondering if I can convert a staff sling to throw them...hmm.' _update_ ; yes I can but it's not reliable enough for uncontemporary sling ammo.

[@atlanticsquib7232]

Too sharp a knife and you are just gonna cause damage to the blade from those impacts. Chips, bent tips and such will occur, I think generally sharpness is useful but I don’t think it needs to be sharp like other knives do

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

@@atlanticsquib7232 agreed, too sharp but the sweet 20 something angle can cut while being toughish edge retention but it's just a perk so spikes survive it best.

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose true, practice with false edges until you feel safe with them, is what I did.

[@user-co3ms6wr9w]

The strij didn't hit right. Playing back videos helps check what you're doing... Good advice though

[@jameslloyd7891]

My brother could throw axes over hand under hand sideways, any knife any moving target or distance, kitchen knifes anything..

[@ravvisa]

could?

[@madstrad123]

Why throw knives!? Throwing spoons don't stick! 😂

[@scottyork8831]

A spinning knife is a useless knife. Unless you know the exact range you are going to miss the stick 50 percent of the time.

[@jeffmccrea9347]

I am by no means an expert at throwing knives but something that I have had good luck with from pocket knives to kitchen knives is to balance any knife on my finger. Pocket and kitchen knives are always heavy towards the handle. However far back down the handle away from the blade it balances out, hold the point end of the blade that far back from the end and throw it. Example: If I have a butcher knife and it balances 1.5 inches down the handle from the blade, I hold the point end 1.5 inches from the point then throw it and it will stick more than half the time so long as I don't put a lot of spin on it. If I actually practiced it, my success rate would be higher. I have to be careful as I keep my household knives razor sharp.
