If you're a good knife thrower, certainly!
In fact, there's a silly historical technique of unscrewing your sword pommel and throwing it at your opponent.

That's kind of a suicidal move

End him rightly!

If you're being attacked, you would hardly let someone get around to your back.

It would be hard to maneuver while holding a heavy, long pole. If the spearman was wearing armor, that would make it even easier to attack them.

Spears are lighter than one would think. It's a light wooden pole with a slightly heavier spear head added. A normal spear would be a dew pounds, which would be easy to swing or move fast by a relatively strong adult male. Also, armour is more flexible than one would imagine.

Does that actually work? O.o

Also, is knife/axe throwing practical?

ONLY if you KNOW that you are going to hit your target, otherwise that would be the equivalent of saying "here, kill me".

It would work as a distraction if it isn't a good strike, but yes, unless you're going to hit, it's not always a good idea. (As a last-resort to save your life, anything might be tried.)

Under which circumstance would you throw your weapon at the enemy, Skarz? Personally, I'd use that technique as a very LAST resource and once I have acknowledged that there's absolutely no other way around it.

I imagine that'd be a "last stand" sort of thing. You know you're going to lose, but you make a last attack in desperation.

Yeah, I thought the same, actually.

[Wylder Treejumper]

It would be a good technique, supposing you had a poniard to parry with, or a knife tucked in your boot for exactly that.

Also, if a swordsman deflected the spear to one side and closed, the spearman would be unable to attack and would thus be killed. Granted, using a spear with two hands would let you pull it back quite quickly, but the technique would be very effective on one-handed spearmen.
