Throwing Knives are a range/melee weapon in Sea of Thieves.

Usage

• Quick stab: Primary Use performs a standard quick stab.
• Heavy downward blow: Hold Primary Use to prepare a heavier downward stab then release to attack. Movement will be slowed until you attack or cancel the action.
• Throw: Hold Secondary Use to prepare a throw attack, then press Primary Use to launch a knife at your target. Movement will be slowed until you attack or cancel the action.
• Pick up knife: Use Interact to pick up any throwing knife that was thrown and hit an object or terrain rather than an enemy. Players from any crew can pick up a throwing knife. If a player who has the knives equipped picks up a dropped knife, it will simply refill an ammo slot. If it is picked up by a player who does not, it will be held in the same way as a loot item, and can either be thrown or dropped again.
