In-game description

Throwing knife.
Used as a projectile.

Throwing knives have limited range and
accuracy compared to arrows, but offer a
quick-and-easy ranged attack.

Undead who lack other means of ranged
attacks will do well to stock a few of these.

Where to find

Merchant purchase

Undead Burg

Cost: 10 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

Keep the male Undead Merchant alive and friendly.

From the first Undead Burg bonfire, return toward the roof terrace with two spear Hollows. Break the crates beside the terrace to reveal stairs.
Go downstairs, leave through the side doorway and find the seated merchant on the balcony. Speak to him without attacking.
Buy Throwing Knife from the male Undead Merchant's purchase menu.

Merchant purchase

Royal Wood

Cost: 30 Souls · Stock: ∞

Requirements

Access Artorias of the Abyss.
Keep Marvellous Chester alive and friendly.

Free Dusk in Darkroot Basin and obtain the Broken Pendant from the first Crystal Golem in the Duke's Archives. Return to Dusk's cave, use the portal and defeat Sanctuary Guardian.
Cross Royal Wood to the stone arena where Artorias waits. Before entering the boss fog, cross the nearby bridge and find Chester leaning against the wall. Speak to him and open his shop.
Buy Throwing Knife from Marvellous Chester's purchase menu.

Killing the real Chester removes this shop. His separate invading phantom is a different encounter.

Repeatable enemy drop

Anor Londo, Painting Guardian hall

Reach the large cathedral-like painting hall after Anor Londo's first lift and the flying buttress approach. Carefully cross its upper beams to gain access below.
Defeat the Painting Guardians on the lower floor and collect their drops. Rest and repeat for more knives; their outfit is a separate possible drop.

Notes

Ranged utility: A quick physical projectile useful for drawing an enemy out of a group or finishing a nearly defeated target. Its reach and aiming options are more limited than a bow's.
Use and aim: Consumes one knife per throw and travels in your facing direction. Lock-on helps, but terrain can obstruct the path.
Different version: The ordinary knife has no poison coating. Poison Throwing Knife is a separately purchased item.
