As someone who has taken the time to learn to throw knives pretty well, I can tell you that it takes a great deal of practice and is still not something you would want to rely on for self defense, even once you get pretty proficient. A lot of it comes down to judging distance to target, and a moving target, particularly moving toward you, would be very hard to hit reliably.

Re: Throwing knives / Spikes
Throwing knives are currently illegal in Texas. I think they will be legal September 1st under the new knife laws.
