A long time ago, I (original author neeher, the same below) demonstrated the idea of a throwing knife, which was not a grenade slot item, but a new weapon with animation. I finally finished it so yeah that's it haha
The video below shows off the knife and more!
How to get
This weapon can be found in the Overseer's Office (coc SlocumsJoeHQOffice) within the Slocums Coffee Corporation headquarters. The last photo shows the knife on the table.
Once obtained for the first time, the knife can be crafted at the Chemistry Workbench under the "THROWING KNIVES" entry. There are several options there. There are weapons, "ammo", a melee knife version, and a grenade throwing version.
While this weapon is primarily built around first-person, it does technically work in third-person, but not very well. The game really doesn't want me to do that, haha. 3rd person is good enough for VATS, but keep in mind this will be a 1st person mod, don't even try this for 3rd person lol. Additionally, like the Power Fists, it does not work with Power Armor.
They can also be legendary, with throwing knives being added to random legendary rolls. Begins to appear at level 20. I think it might be fun to have legendary versions, although some might not work as well as explosives.
For console command: "help select 4 weap" or use XX000F99 for weapons and XX000F9C for ammo
Production options:
- Like guns, choosing a throwing knife weapon requires the following ammo.
- Throwing Knife option crafts 5 ammo knives at a time.
- Select Melee Knife It's exactly what it sounds like and I've already made the model so I thought there might be a melee version too.
- Throwing Knives (Grenade) Use to put throwing knives into your grenade slot for use with other weapons or this mod!
Of course, enemies hit by a knife will have the knife on them for you to pick up again. However, if you miss an enemy, it won't work. This weapon benefits from Perks such as Grand Alliance and also counts as a silent weapon.
Install like any other mod. No DLC or Mods required. Install using NMM/Vortex or enable via the Mods menu in Fallout 4.
Three download options!

ESL:

F.A.Q.
What's that cool shelter jacket in the video and screenshots?
That would be my favorite new clothing mod, Wanderer's Vault Suit by QwibQwib.
Will this apply to next-gen or old-gen versions of Fallout 4?
It works for both!
Are these things OP? They look alike.
I imagine getting hit with a giant metal blade and getting stuck in it would cause pretty devastating damage to anyone who got in the way. Ha ha
Sometimes in VATS the spinning knife becomes invisible when the camera is too close to it?
Yeah, I'm not sure there's any way around this, the knife just clips into the camera and doesn't come back until it hits the target. Want a way to solve this problem.
Body shaking is weird after throwing a knife in 3rd person, fix it?
Currently, no. I don't have time to trial and error and fix this.
Where is the customization?
I wanted this to be a smaller lightweight mod, so not a bunch of paints and multiple models and such.
Future plans?
I think I'd like to address those third person animation issu …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
