What are the rules for these suckers?
Are they allowed? Can they be possibly made? If they can be made what are the specs? My friend up here wants to make some but I have no CLUE what goes into making something you throw that small. [Except stuffing foam into a sock..that's all I got.]

THrowing knives arent really a dag weapon... too small to be a rock, and not a "legal" weapon to do damage on the field.
Make a completly soft rock shaped like a giant knife maybe?

kk, thanks Rowan. I think we're going to try for a nicely shaped knife rock. :] Hopefully it can work out, idk if it can! One can only hope!

hmm...something roughly knife-shaped but completely rounded and soft.....as long as we paint them flesh-colored, I think they'd go miles towards demoralizing your enemies... *snicker*

Best bet will be to make little throwing disks and stick silver knives or shurkens on both sides, crome duct tape is ez to shape for the immage

No duct tape on the surface of a rock...

Yeah, pretty much it varies from chapter to chapter, but typically if you can make it passable as a "rock" it will pass at least some events and such as a white. It has to be coreless, though, like a rock. It also has to pass all the rock rules. This makes it very difficult to function as an actual throwing knife. Hatchets are a little bit better, as they already have rock-like heads and the "haft" can be made relatively short and thick. I've seen a few passable throwing hatchets.
Effectively though they did about as well as knives...uncontrollable. The whole purpose of a throwing axe or knife is to be able to use its shape and balance to guide it to the target...problem is without a core, it just kinda spins and floats and flops around all over in the air and never makes it where it's supposed to go.
Maybe a boomerang? lol
