The skill is awesome but we really need to be able to retrieve knives that are thrown. It's a wasted skill at the moment.
Same, is that intended or a bug? Kind of silly to upgrade a knife just to lose it. You'd have to find out how to craft knives and keep crafting an inventory full of them.
Very disappointed. I rushed 9 Cool and picked the throwing and increased damage. Upgraded my knife a few times. Basically lost a lot of resources and opportunities on a bad build. I can transition but it's really disappointing.
I am also experiencing this problem. It is highly disappointing to lose out on a perk like this, especially when respec cost is so high.
Came here to support this topic. I thought throwing knives were a really cool idea, but as soon as I threw my first knife and it went poof, I sat there wondering, god forbid you have a legendary knife and chuck it at a person, miss, have it get stuck in a wall and promptly watch it vanish. I hope this isn't intended and is fixed.
This has to clearly be a bug, I'm playing a melee build and i threw my primary knife now it's gone for good, had to re-load saves.
There is no way it is intended. Considering how much weapons start to cost around lvl 10, I find it hard to believe they would be consumables.
I want to chime in here and agree.
While this element is far from the most important problem ("walk" key not existing, epilepsy-issues, no change of hairstyles after character creator, etc) I feel this is an issue that just invalidates an entire playstyle altogether.
Its not only the knifes though. If you add the problem with loosing a lot of money and not being able to retrieve the knifes to the other issues, such as:
- Not being able to do Katana/Knife stealth kills and instead just having a generic neck snap
- Not being able to do lethal air assassinations with Swords or Hammers despite there literally being a perk in the "cool" tree that has the same for non-lethal ones
- the dodge button being bound to double-tap which regularily forces me out of stealth and gets me detected
...then while the stealth gameplay seems broad, it is very clunky overall and ruins in many areas the fantasy of what a full cool build is all about. I do sincerely hope that they will fix these issues and add these features down the line so that we might enjoy a better gameplay experience for what seems to be one of the more prominent RP-playstyles in the entire game.

Bump. I spent a skill on this, threw my favorite knife and immediately googled to find this page. PLEASE CDPR do something different than this... Totally wasted point, and I'm glad I tested right away. I'll roll back my save and not get that point.
Yes please fix this. I was excited to try it out after spending the perk point, but once I realized you couldn't retrieve it, I never used it again. Such a waste of perk points. I'm not going to go back in my inventory to equip a new knife every time I throw it. It is very frustrating.
I invested early in the Dagger Dealer perk in hopes of actually being able to retrieve my throwing knives when I finally get my hands on them. Tell me, what modern game has a throwing knife mechanic where you cannot pick up throwing knives? I'm hoping in the future this will be fixed.
