Where do all the production throwing knives go?

OK, Here is something I've been wondering about. When I was a kid in the 50's one had to look pretty hard for a throwing knife of any kind around here. And if you found one it was usually thin, stamped out, surplus store trash. I received a new Smokey Mountain Knife works catalogue the other day. There are at least seven or eight types of production throwing knives in there ranging from junk to fairly useable. Ten years ago there would have been one or two maybe; possibly none at all. So I assume that throwing knife sales are up somewhere and someone, somewhere is using them.

But this seems to be a very lightly attended forum and I know no one around my area that throws, unless I have gotten them started doing it. Are there certain parts of the country where throwing is very popular and it isn't North Georgia? We were covered with muzzle loaders thirty years ago as well. And today aside from modern straight line meat harvesters there are almost none here. I know they are still very popular in other parts of the country because if I put one on Gun Broker it is gone in a day.

Where are all these throwing knives going??? Someone's secret underground Zombie arsenal?
 
Michigander here, throw every Wednesday night with a couple of buddies.
It's like bowling... Only better!
 
I have a buddy from SC due here today for a first lesson. I'm glad someone besides me uses it like darts etc.
 
I've been throwing the Condor Dismissal 14"ers lately and they're the best throwing knives I've ever owned or thrown, and I've had and tossed many. I throw no-spin and rotational and I'll be damned if I can find a way to make them not stick. They're awesome.... and less than $20. I'm stockpiling them because I'm afraid that they'll be discontinued.
 
I like them too!! I only have a couple but as you say they are a good buy and easy to stick. They are in my favorite three types in about 15 types I throw regularly. If they had some other use besides throwing they might be no. 1.
