Handle heavy, Front heavy or Medium Balance Point? What is your favorite? :) Thank you everybody for Watching and See you Next Time ,))

[@justincollins4428]

Hey adam if you don’t mind me asking what knife brand’s do you recommend for someone just starting life throwing

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

Ideally you want the balance point with the pommel wedge into the middle of your palm to the tip of your middle finger; for me it is four inches, front contact has to be just behind the balance point, For very small and light projectiles you need the balance point near the middle of your palm, because it is too small, lighter object like a pencil or pen will lack the range and damage of a bigger and heavier object, but that depends on what is propelling it of course, how strongly you can throw; if you are good you can easily punch through 3mm of sheet steel with a knife no spin at up to 7 yards, a kitchen knife can stick into a concrete slab at 7 yards

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

You should have no favourite; just train hard in all methods with any object; but work hard on no spin, it is one of the hardest fucking skills I ever learned, I also sling David and Goliath type sling style and have become good at it, both no spin knife throwing and sling are two of the hardest things ever to become good at

[@kibonge61]

​@@Jmbr-eh6xrsame as that.shepards sling is a epic for me.. slingshot was easy compared.

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

@kibonge61 To get any good at sling Iiterally threw stones only with a sling for over ten years, it becomes second nature, it can now go with a decent level of accuracy, but still nowhere as accurate as slingshot, which can definitely put meat in the pot

[@wizeisinger]

Hello old friend, for me when I took part in spin throwing competitions with set distances. I made my knives balance at a calculated point to suit all the required distances for blade and handle throws. After 48 years of throwing knives, I worked out that the balance point for me, needed to be at 0.5522 times the length of the knife in centimetres measured from the tip. Eg a knife 35.5cm long should balance at 19.6cm from the tip, making it slightly blade heavy to be able for me to confidently spin throw it and be within the limits of each distance. Kind regards Adam hopefully we will meet again. To the viewers I was the UK spin throwing champion 2018 to 2021 and 4th in the European World Championships 2019. currently In temporary retirement, due to medical issues. Best wishes to you all and enjoy your throwing.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you for watching and comment brother hope to see you next year in full power in England 😎💪cheers brotha

[@fuzzylogic33]

Explained like a true professional 👌

[@harahelarthur6127]

Man, sorry if I misunderstood, but if the balance point is closer to the handle wouldn't it be handle heavy?

[@JeffMountainPicker]

I love your video lessons; you obviously know what you're doing, and how it all works! Besides the facts and techniques, you convey the passion you have for the throwing art. I used to dabble in knife throwing as a teen; I found it to be therapeutic, as the deep satisfaction felt from a well centered "thunk" of blade piercing the target is immediate and visceral. I mostly just did half-spin throwing, but never quite got the no-spin to work consistently. You're inspiring me to restart that very rewarding hobbie. Thank you much!

[@AdamCeladin]

Go for it for sure Jeff ,)) thank you for watching and nice comment! See you next time :)

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

No spin is definitely not the easiest lol. Try trying it underhand! U can get alot of distance, but it's great for self defense situations cus u keep it at ur hip, point down, and just raise ur hand up, thwip, and they never see it coming 😂

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I feel like I knew the answer before you really started the video because the way one grips the knife and then the type of throwing they do can be improved upon or maybe hindered by the choice of knife or shuriken or whatever it is that the person wants to throw. I always seem to be so busy but I would love to just cut my own simple throwing knives so I can spend cool afternoons throwing knives in the targets

[@kencoffman7145]

I throw no spin and military half spin. I prefer a handle heavy for both. I've added around an ounce of birdshot to the handles of both my glocks and they hit almost twice as hard and it has helped increase my distance. CHEERS!!!

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

Yah, that's why I can't throw the 6 inchers. Not enough weight to feel it

[@AdamCeladin]

Awesome 😎

[@Lessonswithsenseimatt]

Still teaching me things after almost 10 years Thanks Adam 💯❤️🎯

[@AdamCeladin]

Much love brother 😎 💪 🔪

[@harahelarthur6127]

Personally i prefer handle heavy. but i will throw whatever is in my hand if its fun

[@AdamCeladin]

perfect :) thank you for watching and comment

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

Same here. When I was first learning, I would take a measured amount of tape around the handles of my balanced knives to make them slightly handle heavy. Basically I like it that way cus other than bowie knives, most knives are handle heavy

[@TheShurikenZone]

A video from the new throwing facility! Brilliant! Looking forward to it, brother! 👍👍

See you tomorrow brother ,)) i filmed some Skate/Knife tricks there too already for a short :P Gonna epic one :D

[@karlmiller1891]

I have just started throwing knives, so I don't know yet but handle heavy feels good. I have only been throwing for about a week because of the weather but my first knives are all Acejets. I bought the Excaliburs for learning half spin, I'm getting the Stingers for learning no spin for Christmas and I couldn't help but order some Appaches today to learn skanf! (and to get a free raptor mini! I just missed the bo-shurikans deal with my first order which was dissapointing but oh well) I am only throwing half spin for now but I want no spin to be my main technique. You, Tom Tom and Yuri are huge inspirations for me as a beginner! I just can't wait to develop my own style one day. Thank you for all of your videos, I have found them very helpful!

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

Don't get too many when u first start. Get a feel for one style knife first and when u can consistently stick that, start trying different kinds. I started with 8 inch classic feather, circus shaped ones, got pretty good with those, then got my 10 in Gil hibbens, and in my prime, I could hit anything with those and pretty much any 10in after that. Just a little advice.

[@karlmiller1891]

@@danielkeslerjr4407 I know. I'm mainly taking advantage of the sale. I plan to focus on one technique with one knife at one distance. I am choosing military half spin at 3 meters with the Excaliburs. I plan to do this for the next few months with walk back and THEN move on to no spin with the Stingers for a really long time. Also, I love knives! Always have, worked with them all my life. Why wouldn't I want to start a new collection? 😂

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you for support Karl 😎i will be doing also online lessons if you will Need some tips let me know

[@karlmiller1891]

@AdamCeladin Thank you Adam, I really appreciate it! I have nearly finished building my own end grain target and stand. I hope to record some video for facebook groups to get feedback on form and technique. Hopefully one day we can meet at a competition! Until then, take care my friend, all the best!

[@johnwalton5303]

I'm a big fan of your knife throwing videos and hope one day. I will be able to purchase one of yours. I learned to throw knives from my Uncle when I was just a little kid. Unfortunately, life gets in a way of things and I've become a bit rusty. However i'm working towards getting back into it. Knife throwing is in a way therapeutic for me. When life gets stressful, I'll go out and throw. It just mellow's me out.

[@AdamCeladin]

[@toddeisenhauer7477]

My throwers are middle balanced with handle contoured for spin. I will get some no spin blades and work on the technique. It would be awesome to be able to throw my blades from any distance. I'm proficient at 2 rotations or 6 paces. Thanks again

Thank you! I wanted to get into throwing but I didn't know which type to start with. It is difficult to unlearn something you learned incorrectly so I bought some practice stuff but never actually tried to practice with it.

[@danielkeslerjr4407]

Handle heavy would make sense that its good for no spin seeing u have urs weighted all at the butt, so its balance like a traditional kunai. I find theres a difference between just handle heavy or all the weight at the pommel and not distributed thru the whole handle. If that makes sense

[@ulvesparker]

My original set was handle heavy Gil Hibbens. I liked the feel of them, so I have collected quite a few more of a similar design but cheaper. I have one that has a bolt on weight that can be slid forward or backward along a channel. It half spins better blade heavy.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thanks for the info!

[@danielderekstopperton524]

Hi there. Happy New year. What is the manufacturer of the last knives please?

[@JochenThe1]

So the weight distribution influences the initial acceleration?

[@TamasMateffy]

Bo shuriken with ribbon would be easiest for a total beginner, and fastest learning curve? I would guess.. I'm an archers \slinger guy.

[@AdamCeladin]

Yup but only for the no spin and not other techniques for classic knife throwing its really the best some good knife and go from Basics easy close distances half spin or full spin some people dont get no spin from the start

[@beacon6424]

i think balance matters the most when it comes to rotational throwing, not instinctive.

[@AdamCeladin]

yeah most of the people in rotational throwing are using medium or front heavy knives

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

No way man; balance matters most with no spin, not spin; been at this for over 10 years, but man it was worth it, it is a matter of finding the balance point of the implement, it could be many things: kitchen knife, they are VERY Well balanced) cutlery knife/fork, screw driver, pen, pencil, chopstick, nonspin my preferred method, it has become instinctive and I swear by it if I was to defend my own life or someone I care about As I always say, firearms are more powerful and longer range, but they run out of ammo, sharp pointed objects are EVERYWHERE, albeit less damage power and range When I am in a restaurant for example I know I there is numerous shit I can use if some lunatic busted in and started shooting up the place, one of the best are steak knives, they are heavy, sharp and well balanced, but in the hands of someone like me or Adam, it is not a problem with balance, if you train hard, you get to the point you can stick just about anything with a sharp point, honestly

[@beacon6424]

@@Jmbr-eh6xr balance point doesn't matter. i just use my regular grip for any throwing implement and it works pretty much perfectly. you can throw just about anything with a sharp tip regardless of balance.

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

@@beacon6424 Correct, a skilled thrower doesn’t need specially made knives, (although they should be used by beginners, specially made throwing knives will provide greater consistency to skilled throwers; just like with firearms you get used to the weight, recoil of a certain model of rifle) they can about stick anything, that is what makes us knife throwers deadly, as said sharp pointed objects are Everywhere, I just get good at throwing everything with a sharp point in the house, I do have my first set of throwing knives but not felt the need to buy more specially made throwing knives Damage it can do depends on the size of the implement, you should be good at all methods: no spin, half spin and full spin, but no spin is best for most situations, it is very difficult to master, but worth it It amuses me when I see articles saying that throwing knife is a crap weapon, arguments against it are lame: 1. Throwing a knife disarms you and arm the other guy - bullshit, you wouldn't carry just one knife and you wouldn't throw the last one, Unless sure of a kill, and if you are good knife thrower, who is going to stop and pick up the knife?! They would be running for their lives and assumed you have more 2. Lacks damage or stopping ower - depends on the size and weight of the knife, a large kitchen knife thrown no spin would go through you at 7 yards, it can go through 2mm - 3mm sheet steel or embed into a brick wall, what can it do if it connected to the body

[@Jmbr-eh6xr]

@@beacon6424 Yeah that's right; if you hold it a certain way, but not going give away all the secrets 😄😄😄, gotta work hard and figure out for yourselves like I did, you can throw a stick no spin if you hold it just the right way and it has nothing to do with balance point, but it helps immensely

[@lisamcintyre1234]

Which kind would you recommend for a small woman? And are any less than 5. 5 inches (the max allowed in my state)?

[@gabrielsilveira2822]

Wouldn't the knife with a heavier blade be more suitable for half spin or instinctive half spin? Because the center of gravity on the blade wouldn't make it easier to control the rotation rate with a grip on the blade?

[@zainalalimuddinzainalalaud8749]

I get confuse about knife balance. It seems that knife balance does not matter for various throwing method. Can I conclude the following: for no spin it is easier to throw with handle heavy than balanced knife. Same for half spin too? I know that you can throw well whatever the balance. But which is easier to throw no spin and half spin. Balances or handle heavy

I'm wondering if most cheap throwing knives are generally too light for good distance and penetration? Looks like all those knives are rather heavy, regardless of where the balance point is... Im sure anyone who masters techniques can throw anything, but for a beginner, would you say heavier knives give better results?

[@AdamCeladin]

1000 % better Result any custom knife will be always better then small cheap throwing knives they could be also Dangerous because they rebounce more from the target but of course you have to practice a lot even with the best knives but its wayy easier and also more fun 😎
