Our vision is to prove that knife throwing isn't just a unique experience; it can be a competitive sport. We want to unite knife throwing facilities from around the world under one professional knife throwing association. Collaboration is what sets WKTL® apart from our competitors. Our all-inclusive approach brings these facilities together and allows them the forum and voice to communicate with each other to establish standardized rules and regulations for this sport.
The World Knife Throwing League® is not here to promote a single brand or image. WKTL® is here to promote the sport of knife throwing as a whole while bringing together all knife throwing clubs from around the world. We seek to standardize the sport of knife throwing - from official league rules, the points tracking system, safety protocols, knife throwing techniques, and everything in between. The prime directive of WKTL® this year is to achieve the unprecedented; to host the first-ever worldwide knife throwing tournament!
The World Knife Throwing League® runs International KnifeThrowing Day®. This Day is for everyone around the globe who share our passion for knife throwing. The World Knife Throwing League® celebrates International Knife Throwing Day® to raise awareness and unify knife throwing as a bonafide sport. As fun and offbeat as this sport is - Knife Throwing is an inclusive activity everyone can enjoy. We bring together all WKTL® Knife Throwing Clubs from around the world to celebrate the sport.
