basics of knife throwing?

Just wondered. For instance where should the weight of the knife be, proper techniques and all.

Usually, if the balance point on the knife is in the middle third of its length, it can be thrown quite well. If it's more towards the blade, however, the knife is better suited for handle throws, and if weighted towards the handle, its better for blade throws. Close to the middle, it doesn't really matter. As far as technique goes, my advice is to experiment a little to find a good distance and try to be consistent in your throws (don't flick your wrist, switch footing, etc). Hope this helps.
