Under hand throw

[Frontiersman101]

I have seen people throw knives from under hand. It looks like a smoother throw than over hand. Any tips to profect it? Is there a reason for doing it? Thanks.

1. It's really easy to learn and do.

2. It sticks fairly often and with plenty of power.

3. It's a no spin throw, so you don't have to worry about distance.

4. It works for balanced and unbalanced throwers equally.

Try it at your next opportunity and see.

works really well with larger knives, out to about 8-10 feet. I am pretty accurate with my trailmaster.

A good reason to use it is if you want to draw a tip down carry blade in your pocket and throw it straight from the draw.
