Not to be confused with Flying Knife. For the similar Hardmode magic weapon, see Magic Dagger.
Throwing Knives are consumable ranged weapons that can pierce up to two enemies. They can be purchased from the Merchant during a Blood Moon for 50 each and may also be found in Chests. Throwing Knives are greatly affected by gravity and arc similarly to Shurikens and Bones. They have the greatest range of these consumable ranged weapons (with Bones having the least).
Throwing Knives have a 50*1/2 (50%) chance of being retrievable after use, even after hitting enemies.
The Merchant will use Throwing Knives to defend himself against nearby enemies.
