Throwing knives should be way more accessible than they presently are. They should also be retrievable after being thrown, especially since a killed NPC is capable of staying around for long period of time. A thrown knife should show up in the corpse's belonging when looting them. There should also be an improvement in the melee weapons category like there is in the Unarmed one. If a person has a high Melee Weapons stat, that player should get the ability to be able to throw any knife or sharp edged item in the wasteland. From combat knives to switchblades, etc, they should all be throwable with a Melee Weapon stat of 75 and up. There should also be a store in the game that exclusively deals with bladed weapon. The store could be named the Cutting Edge, ran by an owner that wears a rare vest with knives all over it. The vest could be obtainable by either killing the store owner (not recommended because it would close the store), or by beating him/her at a knife throwing contest. I digress, the most important thing is to make throwing knives more accessible. PLEASE!! I like playing as characters that are like Jason Statham's role in The Expendables.

I never even knew there were throwing knives, and I'm level 17!

I agree there should be more throwing knives; their simple lack of quantity puts me off using them.

Nah, more throwing hatchets. On 3 playthroughs I still haven't seen them for sale anywhere. The knives are crap anyway. No range or damage.

I found 2 throwing hatchets for sale at Chet's once at a high level but I would love to be able to stockpile some throwing hatchets and venom.

The spears are plentiful but they look a little goofy. I stockpiled 225 throwing knife spears from Dead Money for the high damage just in case I want to fool around with them later.

Could be useful with a hunting merchant near Mojave Outpost and one near Novac which sells lots of hunting related equipment, including throwing weapons.
And of course a legionnaire quartermaster at Fort, Legate Camp and Cottonwood Cove which all sell tribal gear (Including fungus and throwing weapons).
(Legate Camp sells top tier weapons as well, you get an automated 30% discount though since you'll likely have [Idolized] rep with Legion.)
(Fort's quartermaster sells items scaled to player level, including top tier Guns and Explosives.)

I get crit hits alot more often with knives which gives me instakills, but it may just be my luck or something.

Ahh. Chet had 2 Hatchets for sale. First time I've seen them in game. They're awesome.

There are throwing knives in this game?!

I find throwing knives at Mick and Ralphs I'm not sure which one though

I honestly don't think I've ever used a throwing knife in this game. Although I do know they exist.

Haven't tested it myself, but heads up...

As an added alternative Obsidian could add these recipes. There could be recipes for making Throwing daggers or DEATH DAGGERS and CAZADARTS. To make a Cazadart you need (1) empty syringe, (1) Cazador gland for venom (for Poison Dart), and having (1) long fuse dynamite as the blow tube. To make (5) Death Daggers per recipe could require (1) duct tape, (1) paper weight [for balance], (5) scrap metals for the hilt, and the (1) hand of a Death Claw for their five fishhook claws, hence five throwing daggers. A Cazador gland could be added to make the nail/dagger poisonous. The Death Dagger would be a VERY powerful weapon because it's like being attacked by a Deathclaw and a Cazador (with the poison added) all at once. Scary. The requirement to throw this weapon efficiently would be at least a strength of 8 and a Melee Weapon stat of 75 or higher. To make the weapon, a science skill and a survival skill of 70+ would be necessary. For the poison dart a med skill and repair skill of 50+ would be needed. Death Daggers should be retrievable. What do you guys think?

And please support this idea if you believe that it will add to the overall role-playing experience, before sharing your own idea or diverting to another topic. If for whatever reason you don't like knives, or the ability to look cool using them, or simply the change of pace from using the myriad of guns in the game, then state why or don't comment on this. But I really believe that these would be nice additions to an already cool experience.
