When I was younger, I used to box a lot (and wasn't half bad at it), and when I used to hang out with my Apache friend, his father would teach us some knife fighting and throwing techniques, and some like short axe techniques. Even tried to throw a tomahawk a few times.
I remember being dazzled about how his dad would like pull thirty fricking knives out of nowhere and throw them like some damned machine gun with precision. And I'd never seen deer and cow bones before that (especially tied to a stick), so it was pretty cool.
(Aside: We didn't use any of the bone weapons, we used some metal weapons. The bone weapons were completely ornamental on his father's part, since he carved them as a kid. They probably COULD be used as weapons, but as my friend's father would shrug and say, "But I could use steel ones.")
Needless to say, I've never really tried it out on anybody aside from some light sparring with paint to "hone" the skills (mainly of his son), and sometimes my friend and I get together and play "Beer Throwing Knifes". And I never became some grand master knife fighter or something, nor have any intention to. But hey, at least I know where to go when I need someone to apparently turn someone into a knife pin cushion.
