Knives

[dirt43]

Are throwing knives illegal in Indiana? I know that throwing stars are, and i know that switchblades and a knife that can be propelled are as well. I cannot however find anything on throwing knives. Please enlighten me.

Holy jeebus that would be sweet!! I've already got my eye on a few potential purchases if that were to happen.

I doubt Friendship could exist without throwing knives and tomahawks.

...I know that throwing stars are...

Yeah. Don't get me started.

I mean, come on Indiana... throwing stars?

Really???

Just what sort of made-for-television fantasy ninja assassinations was our legislature trying to thwart with that one?



Dang, now I need another Tylenol.

Not for sure but a few years ago Cheaper Than Dirt wouldn't ship throwing knives to Indiana. This does mention throwing knives but it seems up in the air to me;
IC 35-47-5-12

a Chinese throwing star commits a Class C misdemeanor.

It's really not up in the air.

Throwing knives are fine. Throwing knives with blades set at different angles are illegal.

Same with throwing-irons and other knife-like weapons, they can't have blades set at different angles either.

They obviously thought it was the angles that kill.
