Throwing Knife functions as a bow-type weapon which inflicts bleeding on enemies.
- Ammo: 8
- Special Effects:
- Knives inflict bleeding (20 base bleeding DPS per effect for 2 seconds) on enemies they damage.

- Breach Bonus: -1
- Base Breach Damage: 0
- Base Breach DPS: 0
- Tags: No Critical, Has Bullets, Ranged, Bleed, Limited Ammo
- Legendary Version: Contagion
- Forced Affix: Bleed Propagation
- "If the victim dies from bleed damage, surrounding enemies begin to bleed as well"
- Though knives can only be thrown once every 0.35 seconds, the player regains control 0.1 seconds after the start of each throw, resulting in a net 0.25-second wait between the end of one throw and the start of the next.
- The fire rate of this weapon allows for up to 6 bleeding stacks to be maintained at a time on an enemy, resulting in an optimal instantaneous DPS of 134 (14 from direct hits and 120 from six bleeding stacks).
- An alternate method, used to calculate sustained DPS, adds the total damage done by a bleed stack to hit damage, then recalculates DPS. Using this method, an optimal sustained DPS of 129 is predicted.
