Throwing Knife

The Throwing Knife is an available Equipment choice in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Like all Equipment shown so far, the player only gets one, but because it is a knife it can be retrieved from the body of the deceased enemy or from a wall if it becomes lodged in. When the player throws and misses their target, the throwing knife will most likely hit the ground or a wall; if it hits the ground, most of the time, it will slide across it. The player will have to find and pick it up to use it again. If it hits the wall, the player can simply go up to it and pick it up. However, if a knife ricochets off a wall or the ground, it is still deadly and can kill. It was first shown at the end of the Capture the Flag trailer. The Knife is popular with stealth classes as it is silent, has no warning like grenades, and even if the player misses, there is a good chance the target doesn't notice (unless they see the knife whiz by or hear it richochette off a wall).

In Single Player it is possible to use this weapon on the last mission as it was stabbed into Soap by General Sheppard. After a long button mashing you can pull the knife out of Soap's chest and use the knife as a throwing knife. Regardless of where you aim the knife will land in Sheppar's head and kill him.
