Throwing knives

"A favorite weapon of assassins in the Far East for centuries, throwing knives can be deadly when wielded by a master but are more generally used when it becomes desirable to send a message. The message is usually 'Your death is coming on swift feet.'"

- Inventory description.

Throwing knives are a weapon in Deus Ex.

Background
A typical ninja knive specially designed and weighted so that they can be thrown effectively. They have a single piece of steel without handles, unlike other types of knives. They're commonly used in the Far East and their style doesn't allow a melee use.

Characteristics
These weapons are rare in the game, but if used by an agent trained in handling low-tech weapons, they can be deadly. Like other low-tech weapons, they are most lethal if used from the back of the target and they work well only against organic enemies other than karkians.
