This is darts for freaks, professionell knife throwing looks different. Just look for no-spin knife throwing if you are interested in real professionell knife throwing.
If you have someone throw the knife so that the Handle hits, or reduce the spin, it won't be as hard. Maybe dull the knife or use a Wooden Knife for practice.
fast pitch softball pitchers do not toss the ball, they throw it. these guys are tossing like you would a piece of paper into a office trash can... @@TheDGAF06
It's great that there is a world knife throwing league but I wish they would expand the styles of knife throwing and knives and allow throws like military half spin and no spin throwing.
My dad made me some throwing knives when I was a kid (probably to get me to stop throwing his hunting knife), it was great fun. You can make a good set from flat bar stock with not much more than a hacksaw and a file. A bench grinder helps, though. No need to buy fancy daggers.
I think you guys should do a lot more combat simulation knife throwing. Get their heart rate going, have them turn around at the sound of a beep then be timed and scored for quickest throw and most accurate. Put them on a course, like professional shooters. That's what i wanna see! Show me the best knife throwing warrior, not the best knife throwing nerd.
Did Philabaum make a huge mistake by not going for the 8 on the last throw in the first game? Unless I’m not understanding correctly, he should have done the math and quickly realized he needed the 8-pointer.
Blah. Single rotation darts, I call it. A much more interesting competition would be random distances and moving targets. The competitors would have to decide on rotation and direction with every throw. THAT is when you'd see the really skilled throwers.
now i dont know what i should think about those blind throwers in a circus tho..their accuracy must be actually out of this world compared to a world champion?!
Awesome new competition, love seeing the amazing knife skills❤ I want to get into it because it looks like so much fun! Definitely a new sub here! The good sportsmanship of the competitors and the spectators is refreshing
The hilt keeps the Knife stable so it sticks into the Vertical Grain target better. It's not necessary but it helps especially for beginners. I think End Grain/Log Rounds (Traditionally most KT comps used them) aren't used here because the Knives won't stick in as good if they under or over rotate. For No-Spin or any throw that reduces the spin, End Grain is ideal because the knife barrel rolls making it harder to stick into a Vertical Grain target. My guess is this was only for Axes so some of these guys are probably Axe throwers (Knives are harder and cost more) who decided to try the Knife throwing league.
lol You imagine getting into a serious argument with your wife about the sharpness of your blade and how you need alone time to practice being one with it.
Requiring a certain number of rotations is antithetical to the goal of knife throwing. You can't give it full force from 10 ft. if you're also required to have a full rotation. Notice how gently they're throwing? Number of rotations shouldn't be a requirement.
Did you watch the whole tournament or are you just dumb enough to think that because two Americans made the final that only Americans participated? I'm going with the latter considering you misspell American half the time.
I’m actually a professional knife thrower, but I don’t throw anything like these guys do. I wonder if No-spin or half spin techniques are allowed? That’s how I throw and I don’t have to worry about how far from the target I am.
First time hearing of this sport but seems like a awkard idea to have them do it side by side as it looked like mike philabaum waited for the other throw everytime so if the other guy dropped his knife then he knows to go for a safer choice or adjust to what the other guy did, dont know if i missed something but seems odd
Looks like a sport in its Infancy. A Running and Throwing Obstacle Course not to dissimilar to Paintballing would be more enternaining, while you are being shot by a paintball,( ie A Penalty Points deduction) to your overall score on targets Hit 🙂👍
Because the distances are set optimally for Full Spin ➡️⬇️⬅️⬆️➡️ and Double Spin Handle throws. The rules probably allow Blade Throws, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice because the first line is to far for a Quarter Spin Throw so you'd have to do a 1½ spin throw which forces you to either add extra spin or move back to make up for the extra spins.. Even if they added a Quarter Spin throw line, it's basically like throwing Point Blank. I do think they should add another line for 1 ½ spin Throws just to add variety.
But why are they throwing them like that? Theres so many different ways to throw a knife, and the way they are throwing them isn't even close to ideal.
Sorry, but this is about as exciting as watching a game of tiddlywinks. How about a league where contestants throw knives at targets instead of this short range darts tournament?
Knife tossing, more accurately. Kinda like a competitive axe throwing event that subsequently ordered knives instead of axes!! No variations of personal style with all the targets in a obvious orientation just seems bizarre in actual conception of such an event & further more 'professional' competition. Typically 'Americanised' as mentioned in other comments!!!
I just learned professional knife throwing exists. Thanks Internet. I enjoyed this match.
me too

@@EyeGuy2766 me 3. I just thought that exists in circuses
Live on ESPN8 "The Ocho"
Try looking for cornhole throwing or tag championships..
Knife and ax throwing is difficult but knife and ax catching is really hard.
That’s a sport more people would watch. Lol.
I was in the olympics in two sports. I was a javelin catcher and archery goalie.
Catching them with your teeth is a true talent......
If you have someone throw the knife so that the Handle hits, or reduce the spin, it won't be as hard. Maybe dull the knife or use a Wooden Knife for practice.
Catching one is easy. Catching the second one is much harder
oh it's the type of day when we go from competitive air hockey to this.
This is one of a few sports that is more fun to participate in, than to sit and watch.
this isnt knife throwing, this is knife tossing...
exactly
It’s throwing. Tossing is underarm.

I think The European championships allow it, but I don't know exactly who manages it
Just learn each different spin type. For me, it's automatic. My brain knows how to add each rotation or no Rotation.
@@Falenir no shit, but he's saying he wants it included. Nobody asked if you could do it.
So all those years i spent throwing knives for fun and getting yelled at were for nothing? I could have been training for an actual league? Hahaha
Me and my buddies throw knives on the farm where we live. Betting and competition is fierce and a bad day can get expensive but we love it
Hope you don’t wear gay ass masks
LOL yeah was like watching bowling...the judges added more entertainment 😂 maybe if the targets were moving
How many different countries competed in this world championship?
This will definitely be one of those America only World Championships 😂
USA does not dominate any international sports. therefore they have to create their own world championships
Still more watchable and interesting than the WNBA.
Some of the world championships they invent in America are hilarious.
Yep, and I'm here for it
Knife throwing competitions have been around for a while. Russia and America have been like the major places people go to compete.
The USA… where you can be a professional in anything. 🤷♂️😂
I'd say this sport isn't any stranger than for example darts or javelin throwing. There are much weirder sports out there.
@@dangummoeHahaha that’s funny…
I thought you were going to be racist at first… and you were, to the white man. 😂
What brand of knife is used?
I would expect, like darts, they all have various brands and sponsors.
@@tygrahof9268they all look identical, even the logos look the same, but cannot be sure
I must've missed this in Obscure Sports Quarterly
This is cool. But I feel like the camera needs a close-up. It's hard to see where it landed like this.
What are the measurements for the 2 new bullseye?
Above an below 😂
LMFAO WHAT IS ON THEIR FACES O M F G
Is that the guy from outdoor boys?

Throw anything that has a point on it. Railway spikes, nails, screwdrivers, army shovels, playing cards...

I'll back this.
Good way to make it more entertaining or interactive for the audience
What kind of knives are these fellas using ? Maker and name , thanks
What kind of knives are those?
I’ve been throwing for a few decades. This looks more like darts than knife throwing. Still impressive though.

Thanks, very kool. ✌🏻👊🏼
Hi. Can i ask how much waight knife for competition? Because i Europe it is minimum 230g. I see you use very big knife 👍😉
Knife throwing?
I was taught vastly different. I remember a thrown knife doesnt have a limp wrist and a bunch of spins in the air...
exactly, that not knife throwing
now i dont know what i should think about those blind throwers in a circus tho..their accuracy must be actually out of this world compared to a world champion?!
DANG Thats new to me!!!! Wooo!
is that one ref, Luke from the Outdoor Boys channel?
SIX FOUR FOUR
554
another world tournament in the US without the rest of the world knowing. nice.
Well, they have to be the best at it somehow.
Lollllll. Bro the world is the US you didn't know NFL world champions,NBA world championship MLB world series. Loll coman now u know we the best
True. Its pathetic...
embarrassing😂😂@@GokuGohanGokhanPlus
Awesome new competition, love seeing the amazing knife skills❤ I want to get into it because it looks like so much fun! Definitely a new sub here! The good sportsmanship of the competitors and the spectators is refreshing
What happens if your second throw knocks off the first knife?
Then it doesn’t count
Very interesting. 🤔
Is that judge on the right the Alaskan "Outdoor Boys" UA-camr?
I know he's wearing a mask but I swear that's him!!!
it has to be
Awesome 😎
"World" ? or was this the Dallas open.
Why is this showing up in my suggestions..?! And why do i enjoy watching this..?
We all know what the bottom bullseye represents...
So strange to me that regulation knives have a hilt
The hilt keeps the Knife stable so it sticks into the Vertical Grain target better. It's not necessary but it helps especially for beginners. I think End Grain/Log Rounds (Traditionally most KT comps used them) aren't used here because the Knives won't stick in as good if they under or over rotate.

Sport?
This is so cool
I'm glad Hollywood doesn't use this sport for how they depict knife throwers
THIS!
WAS!
COOL!
I think enough internet for today
Not complicated enough
Didnt know OUTDOORBOYS was a judge in this sport
They should go through combat target course like.for guns
If you don't have Lorena Bobbitt doing play-by-play next year you will let the world down, and worse, you let yourself down.
clearly OJ Simpson would make for a great co-host

I realy think we are on to something 🤔.
Not Word but USA😉
Yeah I’m deadly with a knife at a distance but I also wear masks in 2023 so it balances out

''build out the infrastructure'' why say OUT there, its pointless, surely ''build the infrastructure'' is the correct wording.
Whats up with US and World Championships?
There needs to be a 501 darts version of this
How'd he do on axes?
This is for people who can’t throw darts anywhere close to where they are aiming 😂
These throwers are very good!
Is no spin allowed?
How typically Aerican a contest with only Americans in it an their WORLD CHAMPIONS!
Womp womp
Like their Worldview 😊
No one prevents you from participating
The world series.
Did you watch the whole tournament or are you just dumb enough to think that because two Americans made the final that only Americans participated? I'm going with the latter considering you misspell American half the time.
Were is Adam celadin he was world champion in 2021
unfortunately, he lost the world knife catching championship in the same year

trole, stop lying
Next up world knife catching champion ship.RBC
When was this filmed and why are they wearing masks?
Was this all filmed three years ago?
And in Texas. I hope this isn't 2023 or 2022.
Notice no masks worn by audience lol
Didn't know Luke from Outdoor Boys was a knife throwing judge.

Why make it so complicated, just have a target erm….. like shooting or archery or darts???
dont exactly throw like ninjas do they? More like 8 year old girls throwing a tennis ball lol
"I know it hasn't caught on yet as there are no ninja's in the finals." -Anonymous Ninja
Ninja’s didn’t use them. Samurai did. That’s what the last Iga Ninja says. Google him.
‘World’? Bit like the baseball World Series where yanks are really only ones who play!
Can't just throw to the opponent for the win?
I've learned how to throw a knife without rotation
Straight like a dart
Don't hate , he won 1500 buck's!
Did any other countries attent this typical American 'world' championship?
Looks like a sport in its Infancy. A Running and Throwing Obstacle Course not to dissimilar to Paintballing would be more enternaining, while you are being shot by a paintball,( ie A Penalty Points deduction) to your overall score on targets Hit 🙂👍
Where they still wearing a mask? Somebody leave cocaine there ?
They should do a video after the plandemic
The damn audience isn't wearing so the point is...
Plus they don't work that way anyway
World, ya right.
ESPN8 the Ocho.
Is he allowed to lean that far forward?
Since when does knife throwing have to rotate certain amounts? Knives only one size and shape?
Pat Minter is the best ever knife thrower of all time.
i am
not to me son.@@dwaynesmith4695
*I am by far the best there ever was, that is until I wake up.*
nah, that accolade goes to Adam Steele
im taling MY personal pick. its pat minter-joe darrah and matthew dunn. hagd@@Aranck-kcnarA
these refs are way too enthusiastic
Not even a spinning woman !
Can you not hold the blade when throwing? Seems more natural.
Because the distances are set optimally for Full Spin ➡️⬇️⬅️⬆️➡️ and Double Spin Handle throws. The rules probably allow Blade Throws, but you'd be doing yourself a disservice because the first line is to far for a Quarter Spin Throw so you'd have to do a 1½ spin throw which forces you to either add extra spin or move back to make up for the extra spins..

I do think they should add another line for 1 ½ spin Throws just to add variety.
For those wondering about the masks, this match was during Covid.
It’s darts with knives. Nuts.
how did I end up here?
But why are they throwing them like that?
Theres so many different ways to throw a knife, and the way they are throwing them isn't even close to ideal.
Next up on the Ocho...
So we invite you for Word Cup UK Louth 12 July 2024😉
Let’s goo
If you played darts, you could have a couple of pints and nobody would be worried
Why are refs required to yell out each number and signal each number by hand? It’s hilarious, but confusing.
But why do they all have a rag in front of their face in the video? Are they some gang signs?
2021 so in the time of Corona
Isn't it true that the winner gets a trophy in the image of Crocodile Dundee?
Sorry, but this is about as exciting as watching a game of tiddlywinks. How about a league where contestants throw knives at targets instead of this short range darts tournament?
