no, in all seriousness.. if you could sink two or three into your opponent he would probably be so busy trying to remove them that you could get in a good slash or two.

Or throw it to distract, and as they hit em away with the sword, go in for the kill.

I've seen what a throwing star can do to a wooden target when thrown by a skilled practitioner, I'm not sure if it would kill though. A throwing knife is harder to throw but is more devestating. Those square throwing stars are awesome and cheap and easy to make.

The other option mentioned (though a bit more than square washers) is 3" cutting discs and blades for angle grinders, etc. Same type of re-working, but being round and bigger, gives you a few more options. I would also take it slow, so you dont ruin any temper the blade has by getting it too hot.

for some pretty easy to make circular throwing stars, i use pizza cutter blades, then i file down the edges a little bit, which also sharpens them. You have to be careful though as the file does have a tendency to slide down the sides of the blade, also i would make sure to buy the smaller ones, as the the larger ones tend to have edges that are far too thick to be effective as a throwing weapon.

Trueswords.com has a fairly nice selection of kunai, though some of them: the 1/2'' thick kunai in particular are definitely NOT designed for throwing. still... I've seen some pretty nice ones on their site.

When I decided to practice with any thrown sharpened tools I went to custom makers who made them to spec. I did this because the makers knew what they were doing and made them well to their intended purpose. You get what you pay for.
