That's exactly what I'm practicing with the cold steel 12 inches.Great knives for no spin.Finally i start throwing from 12-13 yards.I'm getting closer to 15 meters.
Clearly one of the best videos out there to learn no spin. The angle and the fact it's shot at high frame rate makes it very useful. Celadin is a beast but it's not very easy to really see what he does.
Sí, es muy simple, pero fácil de entender, en varios te confunden muchísimo con tecnicismos Este es demasiado claro, sin lugar a dudas el mejor videotutorial que he visto
One of the craziest experiences I ever had was throwing knives with my friends who would camp out in the woods all summer up in Mammoth, Ca. But unlike all the technique videos, I learned right away that simply throwing the knife as hard as you can with confidence seems to work the most often! I was absolutely amazed at how I was hitting huge long shots without ever even trying to throw a knife before in my life. It almost feels like magic when you have no idea what you're doing, but you keep hearing that badass thunk when the knife finds its target.
That's amazing you must be doing something right because every time I try that it bounces back and goes whizzing by my head and yes the sound of it sticking into a log is very satisfying.
The no "spin" is the only reliable one-i use 14 inch ,straight indexfinger supporting the side,have almost 100 percent success from about 10 feet.Its also very powerful and fast.But ten yards, no spin-👍👍👍impressing!
I'm pushing 70 and have been throwing knives since about the age of 8-9 off and on - This is different from my methods but I'm going to give it a try - I always threw much harder than most people and this method makes sense to me especially since I like to throw from different distances - Good job on the video!! FYI, I do NOT give compliments lightly 😉👍
For me the proof of the education is letting people know you struggle at a certain distance and when it happens you explain repetition and that makes your tutorial the best I've ever seen
Ya know Adam. As soon as I saw It's Whatevers' style. All I saw,Was your technique. I relearned throwing thru you my friend. I hope to meet and compete with you one day. Watch out for me brother. Love you Man! You are the alpha in matters of The Impalement Arts Sir. The standard by which all are judged.
@@ItsWhateverKnifeandGun past me tried doing a close distance knife throw at a tree without thinking it would be a bad idea to throw it as hard as i could, bounced back and cut deep into my wrist and now i have a scar to forever remind me of my stupidity lol
Excellent instructional video. Really simplified the technique for me, can't wait to give it a go. I'm gonna have to wait till at least the Spring though. Right now I'm buried in snow. Hard to believe the knife journeys that distance without going head over heels. But very accurate results. Really solid and very powerful technique. Glad I caught your video, Thanks.
When I was a child I taught my self the throw a a knife that way "index finger alone knife back). Got to be easy, no need to figure distance , spin. Thank so much.
I like your technique. I’ve thrown knives for thirty years. I like the jack ripper knives myself. Cause they’re fairly cheap and durable. Smaller to carry. I trained for many years using plywood targets in the shape of a person. Approximately life size targets. Cheaper to build using plywood. Since it’s going to get destroyed fairly quickly. I usually aim for the neck and end up eventually taking the head off. But it’s good to practice hitting arms or shoulders for a disarming strike. Anything soft like dragged up brush can be used as a backstop. I learned to throw flat on my own with my index. But seeing your sword finger technique. I’ll have to try practicing that now. It’s also good to train for the reverse or backhanded throw. Just a little different than your overhand technique. There is also underhanded throwing which makes it easier to throw much larger blades. Throwing knives is good martial arts practice for the backyard if you’re careful. Easy to take with you anywhere. Doesn’t cost ammo or make too much noise. Just remember not to take a knife to a gun fight and keep it as a last resort.
Thank you. I started with something very close to the ripper knives there good throwers. I haven't tried the backhand throw yet I'm interested at what distance I can do it effectively. And in any kind of a fight I'm going to probably hold on to the knife.
I can practice my archery and knife throwing daily after work. No range fees or long drives to the range. No depleting my ammo stock pile or gun cleaning.
Thanks ! I've been chucking blades and hatchet , since 1974 . I always used a 1 and a half turn , but at a practiced distance . I use a movement like swinging a splitting maul to get momentum . I never questioned the way my dad taught me . I gotta try your style , and I think I can do it ....... can't wait till spring ! I'll sub your site , and always comment / share ,.....oh the like button too . Peace ✌️ from Cass county Michigan USA ! GOD bless you and your family and friends 💖 Maranatha !
Thanks! Yeah full spin throwing can be fun but no spin is a lot more effective. Thanks for the comment, share and like. Also how cold is it in Michigan? And what does maranatha mean?
I've been throwing spinning knifes for years. This technique is New to me. I never really understood it until now. I seems awkward to me. I will give it a go. Thanks for posting and explaining everything in detail. 👍👍👍
Keep throwing brother. Adams technique has brought me from back yard to county competition level. I hope to go state and to national. And the goal. International level competition. Never give up. That's the 🔑. Watch your follow thru like big man shows us in this really good tutorial.
Great video! I like the no spin concept. I’m no expert but the sound of your impacts had hefty powerful thud. I can’t wait to try this. I’m glad TH-cam threw this into my feed 💪🇺🇸
Excellent tuturial....as I never could be consistent with the knife spinning like my Dad used to do all time. Now if I ever start again I'll try it this way.
I developed my own technique when I was a kid (way before computers) using just one spin at most throwing distances. The technique I came up with has little power though, but has an accurate throw. I am looking foward to trying your technique. Thanks
Loved that at 18yds you didn't stick it, but didn't cut it out of your video. Makes you way more credible in my book. I'm gonna try this method out. You can hear how hard the knives are hitting and sticking in the wood. If someone had an attacker coming at them, you want it to stick good!! Most knife throwers knives just barely stick in the wood, more of a circus act then self defence, from my observation anyway... this way looks much better. 👌 Keep up the good work.
This is interesting, I will give it a go. I don't usually throw no-spin because I don't like those lobbed parabolic throws, maybe with your system I will get more satisfying trajectories .
I have to thank you about this. I only throw with rotations and i just come back from a throwing session. First time was a hit ! It seems to be the most efficient technique for "no spin" for me :) I will be using this technique for no spin in the future!
You are an excellent teacher. Ive seen many throw knives - always from the exact same distance - barely sticking the knife. Respectfully, they have a skill, and a great hobby. But I love seeing heavy of just well made blades thrown with your style.! You could be a coach in Hollywood. Actor Jason Statham plays the part well, but he is a great athlete and a legit martial artist. wouldn't hurt try. Thanks for an awesome video.
Hey thanks! I looked for a good knife throwing video 3 years ago when my wife bought me some for a gift. I haven't tried them yet because I couldn't find a video that was a good demonstration. Thanks again!
Best throwing video I have seen yet nice job I get it I used to throw a marine bayonet I got from my father underhand it could stick it in a tree no spin at about 6 yd and it would stick heavy knife Forgot to say can't do it anymore I've tried 😆
Probabil... aceste modele de cuțite se numesc.. kershaw? Asta e denumirea lor? Dacă-i așa. Va rog să-mi confirmați pentru că vreau să-mi cumpăr un set. Voi incerca pentru prima dată.
I am not sure if you have already, but you could temper those cold steel knives and probably get more use out of them before the tips pop off. 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours should do it just fine.
Tempering can be as easy as setting the steel in your regular kitchen oven or a toaster oven. With the cold steel knives all you would need is a kitchen oven and you'll be just fine.
@@dizzydad4708 Great tip! It's what I used to do before I bought my own kiln. I found that putting them in a tray of (clean) motor oil right after they come out of the oven works great for 'locking in' the steel.
Still, the half-spin throw is best for me. It's definitely no more difficult to calculate than a no spin throw, and the extra momentum caused by the spin means a deeper stick.
I have been throwing no spin knives for about three years now. It’s great fun. I also throw Hatchets, tomahawks, axes, and Ninja throwing spikes. I’m 75. I have troubles destroying my targets. My target is a 24 in.² piece of plywood framed with two by fours period inside are end rain 4 x 4. I also used a southern yellow pine 2 x 12. But with the first hit of my double bladed ax it destroyed that target.
There are a lot of videos out on how to throw a knife, and they all have guys dressing up like navy seal/outdoorsman/ ninja. This guy looks like the UPS guy. Very impressive.
Haha. Love it. My favorite part is “yes, these knives are chipped and the tips break off really easily” directly followed by “ok, let’s practice throwing our knives into the ground” 🤣😂🤦🏽♂️. Solid video though.
I used to have throwing knives and would practice in my backyard. This is the type of throw I'd use at 5 yards everytime and sometimes at 10. But from 15 yards I'd have to spin atleast one rotation or it felt like i was just lobbing it lol
I’d love to see a penetration test between no spin, full spin and half spin. My gut tells me that full spin penetrates the deepest since the tip has linear and rotational velocity. But I could be wrong.
I miss country living. I hate in the city where im at now. My life dream is to be a farmer and shoot guns on my land. Have cool neighbors like you, throwin knives for fun. Good video my friend. Im gonna give it a try.
Thanks for the info. I wish I had known it 60 years ago when I was throwing knives. My shoulder won't handle it now. I had an inexpensive set very much like yours. I had one expensive throwing knife and bounced it off a log into the lake. I should have searched in the cattails for it but I was already late for dinner.
Really good video! Good job at the step by step explanation. I love how you are straight to the point and only talk about necessary shit. Keep making videos
Very nicely explained. Thanks. Will this technique work with a chef's knife or hunting knife or do they have to be symmetrically balanced like your ones?
Excellent technique! Everyone I’ve seen on TH-cam throws with the index finger, but notice you backspin with your middle finger as opposed to your index finger. Is there any advantage to this?
I have tried this and I have to say it works better than the index for me too. The only downside is that it is not a natural way to set up the knife in the hand if you want to execute a throw quickly.
Not sounding like a know it all. But I think if you built your target with the wood grain being vertical, the knife would stick muck better. Come out easier and the blade would last longer. Good video.
I use to practice throwing knives a lot, at least three hours a day....after awhile it just comes to you.... but you have to get to that point.... I've since lost the skill, not the knowledge though.
If the Cold Steel knives are too thin you could put a hardwood slab on either side of the handle (say 1/8 in) and grind it even with the metal. This would give you a spine of about 1/3 in for backspin control and could even look nice.
@@SB_Chr I would start off slow and maybe use a ball or rocks to get the throwing mechanics down. I used to throw rocks a lot so I just carried that same motion to knives.
@ItsWhateverKnifeandGun leather scales are extremely durable. Two peened rivets over washers or contact cement to attach. Common enough in the throwing community. Edit. Corrected to correct spelling after spellcheck adjusted incorrectly.
I say, you can stance how you want to You can leave your friends behind Because your friends don't stance And if they don't stance Well, they're no friends of mine. Safety stance.
When I was a kid, I would find rusty old flathead screwdrivers and sharpen them on some concrete and practice throwing. It was a lot of fun, but those poor trees didn't deserve to be targets.

Rumor is you've gone through 3 cameramen with no survivors.
If I went through just one I think no one else would want to film for me

When throwing this way you can any knife this technique
No because cameraman never dies

Just tie a string behind the knives. The string will generate a small drag at the back to keep the knives straight.
This has got to be the only technique I've seen that looks like it would work consistently with a reasonable amount of practice. Very cool!
Yes lots of practice

I am not sure if you have already, but you could temper those cold steel knives and probably get more use out of them before the tips pop off. 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 hours should do it just fine.
I haven't tried it. But I'm in the process of building my own knives and if they turn out good I will do it to them.
@Lockdown spinning yeah and I don't have the proper equipment.
Tempering can be as easy as setting the steel in your regular kitchen oven or a toaster oven. With the cold steel knives all you would need is a kitchen oven and you'll be just fine.

Many more advantages out there that provide much more, distance and power..don’t be mislead.
Really enjoyed your instructions and your delivery of instructions.
Ohhh, you use your hand as an atlatl! Excellent.
Best tutorial so far, thanks.
Still, the half-spin throw is best for me. It's definitely no more difficult to calculate than a no spin throw, and the extra momentum caused by the spin means a deeper stick.
I have been throwing no spin knives for about three years now. It’s great fun. I also throw Hatchets, tomahawks, axes, and Ninja throwing spikes. I’m 75. I have troubles destroying my targets.

Ha ha yes it does feel like lobbing it at 12 and farther.
nice one! very laid back simple to follow instructions, I've not long started Throwing, it's good fun.
Yes it is
I’d love to see a penetration test between no spin, full spin and half spin. My gut tells me that full spin penetrates the deepest since the tip has linear and rotational velocity. But I could be wrong.
I plan on testing that when it gets warmer
For me, half spin always gives me the most force and penetration
Excellent stuff. Nice to see real people able to master any art.

Great video, thanks for posting.

Um I saw a video a long time ago for no spin and have put in a lot of practice

You can use any knife for this style it just takes practice. And I think heavier in the back is better

Excellent technique! Everyone I’ve seen on TH-cam throws with the index finger, but notice you backspin with your middle finger as opposed to your index finger. Is there any advantage to this?
Well nothing proven. But if you look at MLB pitchers they use there middle finger to get more power and control spin with a fast ball.
@@ItsWhateverKnifeandGun
Thank you for your reply. I didn’t know that. I’m going to experiment with it.
I have tried this and I have to say it works better than the index for me too. The only downside is that it is not a natural way to set up the knife in the hand if you want to execute a throw quickly.
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Not sounding like a know it all. But I think if you built your target with the wood grain being vertical, the knife would stick muck better. Come out easier and the blade would last longer. Good video.
That does sound like a better way of making it
Thanks a lot for the video brother, I really enjoyed it!
Guy speaks really well
Nice! I like it.
I use to practice throwing knives a lot, at least three hours a day....after awhile it just comes to you.... but you have to get to that point.... I've since lost the skill, not the knowledge though.
I've quit for a few month's before the muscle memory comes back really fast.
If the Cold Steel knives are too thin you could put a hardwood slab on either side of the handle (say 1/8 in) and grind it even with the metal. This would give you a spine of about 1/3 in for backspin control and could even look nice.
The problem with grips is they will break off after 2 throws
@@SB_Chr I would start off slow and maybe use a ball or rocks to get the throwing mechanics down. I used to throw rocks a lot so I just carried that same motion to knives.
@ItsWhateverKnifeandGun leather scales are extremely durable. Two peened rivets over washers or contact cement to attach. Common enough in the throwing community.
Edit. Corrected to correct spelling after spellcheck adjusted incorrectly.
I say, you can stance how you want to
You can leave your friends behind
Because your friends don't stance
And if they don't stance
Well, they're no friends of mine.
Safety stance.
thanks...now I got that song stuck in my head....oh well ,go with it..

Those style knives are quite thin, move to 3/8” thick. Makes it much easier. And they don’t flutter when they fly. Look at ace jet, for example.
I have some Acejet also I do like them good for longer ranges but I still like the cold steel they are easy on the arm.
The hours you have practiced certainly show.
Thanks
Outstanding tutorial...and kudos to the brave soul behind the camera
In the shot were I was throwing at the camera it was set on the target no one was holding it
When I was a kid, I would find rusty old flathead screwdrivers and sharpen them on some concrete and practice throwing. It was a lot of fun, but those poor trees didn't deserve to be targets.
Great tutorial, thank you sir.
Try the Chinese method- all those knives have a hole in the but of the handle. That's for attaching yarn tufts, like kite tails.
