Thero is a subtle fascination about a man throwing knives all round a girl in tights, always the Iceling that he may miss just once.

There are two kinds of knife-throwing, target work and fighting. For target work the orthodox technique is to hold the knife ut the point and throw it overhand. Getting the point home

The other difficulty is learning how to throw knives all round the larget, but not in her.

In circles where friendly arguments sometimes end with knife battles a different technique is used.

One way is to carry the knife In a little harness strapped round the wrist with the point resting on a little shelf.

In difficult moments you knock the point off its ledge by rubbing your wrist down your leg, so that the point sildes down on to the palm of your bund.

Quicker than a gun

Jerk your arm up and away goes the knife.

Experts claim that this is quicker than drawing a gun. The yummman has to perform two actions, grabbing the gun and raising it, agalust the knife merchant's simple jerk.

These target and fighting knives are not very impressive in appear- since. Just a point with no cutting edge.
