Has anyone heard of any effective cases of using throwing stars against large wild animals?

And welcome to pg. 17....:D

Page 17! This is a proud day for the entire community. There is some historical or rather Hollywood support for the concept.

Granted a made in China throwing star isn't that ferris wheel of death but then again even an angry sow grizz isn't the "the beast" from Krull. I would contend that even the larger throwing star (we all know the one) couldn't take down a bear. At the very least it would have to be used with the ninja smoke bomb. For example you're hiking then without warning physically stumble over 2 cubs, literally kicking them on the way down. The mother seeing this outrage charges. Someone could then throw the star into the enraged bear with one hand tossing the smoke bomb with the other vanishing into a cloud of ninja smoke.

See, now that's the kind of solid advice the demonstrates why this thread can't be allowed to die.

I'm also wondering if something like this would be useful:

Of course, this is a prototype which could be significantly lightened up with different materials to make a 'backcountry' version...

He must have had a Folder in his pocket because the Mountain Lion stalking him at 2:44 did not attack him.
 
Myself, I believe a fixed chair is better than a folder. YMMV :D

Good call on the ring. Even better would be a ring while riding a buffalo.

It pains me to say this but maybe, just maybe man riding a bufffalo could...... just could be off topic for this informative thread as he packs firearms. However Xena the warrior princess clearly has an edged weapon, the Chakram. I could see that being used in combination with a Tops Fieldcraft knife to fight off multiple bears. The Shango notch alone would do massive damage.
 
Cool thread, I got a lot of ridicule for a similar post. Glad to see this running strong.

Anyway back to the point.

I think a double edged blade would work best, with a blade length of 6 - 8 inches. Eg) blackhawk uk special forces dagger.

Im in alaska. No chance at all of killing moose, bear wolves m lion ! Your living in movie or video game. If any of those animals are Stalking you. Your only small hope is lots of experience & a very reliable pistol. The gun of choice is snub 357. Even then people usual get just one shot off. All the big game preds are faster quicker stronger smarter then you will realize until it too late.
