Is it unwise to have throwing knives for self defense if you aren’t good at making them stick?

That’s equivalent to asking if it’s smart to own a gun when you don’t know how to shoot. Learn how to defend yourself if that’s shat they’re for

Throwing knives are not good weapons for self defense. They're not really even decent weapons in any context beyond simply being better than nothing at all.

No they can be a deterent and you don't need to throw a knife for it to be a weapon

Try throwing stars then. But to what purpose? Self defense?

Good point, if we lived in an age before guns it might be a different discussion.

Nooooo
Throwing your enemy a weapon is the coolest.

It's unwise to throw them in the first place

They are illegal to even carry in a lot of places.
