Animation of the Throwing Knife.

Throwing Knives are consumable     ranged / throwing weapons that can pierce up to two enemies.    They have a 50% chance of being retrievable after use, even after hitting enemies. Throwing Knives 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 throwing weapons (with Bones having the least).

The Merchant will use Throwing Knives to defend himself if needed. However, knives thrown by him will not have any chance to be retrievable once again.
