 Actually the forward-balance in throwing knives is of less importance, it better suites a novice thrower. Advanced throwers tend to prefer rear-balanced, heavier knives for greater distance, usually it takes one full (360 degrees) revolution when thrown handle-held. The rear weight drives the knife well into the target. For even greater distance the thrower switches to blade-hold and the knife spins 1.5 revolution.
