Knife throwing accident
I'm sure that in most knife throwing accidents it is the daring assistant who ends up on the pointy side of the knife, but not this time.
I was rehearsing (playing) in my back yard, just throwing knives into a target when I suddenly had a not so brilliant idea of learning to throw with my foot. So off comes the shoe and sock, I pinched the knife by its blade with my big toe and second toe. The plan was to bend my leg back at the knee and throw the knife in a sort of underhand (underfoot) motion, however as I swung my foot forward to throw, my toe grip just wasn't tight enough, so the knife pivoted handle down and was stopped dead by the lawn, my foot on the other hand (no pun intended) continued forward and I basically stomped the blade of the knife through my foot! luckily there was no permanant damage and all I got was a couple stitches and a swollen foot.

p.s. is anyone out there succesfully throwing with their feet?

Re: Knife throwing accident
not like that, but I'm pretty sure a guy named ben shoemberg (sp?) is juggling three knives with only his left hand and right foot.

Re: Knife throwing accident
I have never tried throwing a knife with my foot, but I do have a neat scar on my thumb which I got a few years ago when a knife slashed me as it left my hand 
I was working on throwing with both hands at once at the time, I am fairly ambidextrous from years of juggling so it came pretty easily, but I was concentrating a little to hard on my right hand throw and my left thumb got slashed pretty neatly.

Re: Knife throwing accident
I want to see a knife thrown with the foot/shin, juggling-kick-up-pass style.
You'd be my hero for the month if you did it.
Right now my hero is Mark Faje, with all the whack ass bowling ball head catches.
