Not all knives in this game can be thrown. Different types of this weapon have different perks and special functions. For instance, all knives from the Scannaturi line can be thrown from a distance to get a kill. This includes the following:

• Scannaturi Speciale
• Viperi
• Lupu

Throwing such a weapon will take one Durability point out of your knife, but it can always be restored with a whetstone. That said, be careful not to overuse the mechanic, as it will impact the effectiveness of your knife after too many hits. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do the knife throw in Mafia The Old Country:

• Equip your Scannaturi-type knife in-game. It should be in Enzo's hand with the knife's stats appearing at the bottom left of your screen.
• Next, sneak close to your target. This works best if your enemy has their back to you.
• You can only execute a knife throw if you're in the sufficient throwing range. Once you're in range, the knife throw indicator will appear. Then, press the F key to throw the knife in Mafia The Old Country. Note that the throw key will appear on your screen once you're in range, regardless of the platform you're playing the game on.
• Once done, go and collect your knife.

That's all you need to know about throwing a knife in Mafia The Old Country. The procedure is easy and simple to follow. It makes for a fantastic trick during some of the stealthier chapters in the game, where you can't afford to get caught for the mission's sake. Use it to your advantage and invest in Scannaturi knives to avail of this special function.
