So much for the amateur to professional occupations throwing weapons are so-called “chivalry” clubs or other establishments of military-historical reconstructions.

There is a certain stereotype about how a professional throwing knife must look like, they are quite different in form and weight, balance, decoration, materials, and making up stuff. But there is some indication of what a throwing knife is in general. Usually, it is a narrow blade to the handle in half. The total length of an average of 10 to 20 cm blade itself can be either unilateral, bilateral and sharpening, but the angle must be sharp, otherwise the knife will be bad to enter the goal. The whole knife is made of metal, and even its grip, it can not be, for example, made of wood or bone. But for convenience, sometimes, they twist the handle with tow rope.

In the “middle” balancing, the center of gravity is in the center of the knife both by the length and width. At knife-shifted relative to the length of the blade balanced center of gravity should remain centered relative to its width.
