Is it actually possible to throw knives in a straight line?

Like, not all spinny, but like it was shot out from somewhere?
The way ninja's could throw their kunai (daggers.)

It can be done, but it takes WAY more skill.
A non-spinning knife is not stable.
The release is very critical.

Weight and balance allow a throwing knife to hit its target because in mid flight it goes blade first because of the weight.D

Back away from the TV and Video game console once in awhile and peak outside in the real word. Ninjas only exist in cartoons and super hero's for toddlers.D

at one time I wanted to learn how to throw. what I read a thrown knife spins 1 revolution every 9 feet. I could make the pocket knives stick out to 27 feet but never had accuracy at even 9 feet. after destroying a few knives I quit. I think they have to spin. jesse
