how knife throwers make sure the blade hits the target instead of the handle

Question

I mean, if the knife is balanced, there should theoretically be an equal chance for every angle of the knife to hit the target, not just the sharp part, right? Is it just “it only has time for about half a rotation” and take the distance and speed into account?

Answer 1

I was of the understanding you wanted throwing knives to be weighted not balanced?
