THROWING
KNIFE: This is a wicked collection of blades
more akin to an axe than a knife,
having a main haft and 4-6
branch-like blades. The throwing knife
is not hurled vertically,
as are most bladed missiles, but horizontally.
The knife’s heavy
weight is the reason for its short ranges,
but its damaging
potential more than makes up for the range
restrictions. There
are endless variations on the basic idea
presented here.
