The Throaty is a Canadian slang term for a linoleum or vinyl cutting knife. It gets the term throaty for its
exceptional throat slashing ability and wicked short sickle like
appearance.
Quite a dangerous weapon and very deadly. Such knives due to their original purpose, accurately cutting linoleum, are very sturdy and keep an edge well. They are the preferred "
intimidation" weapon in Eastern Canadian gang culture outside of firearms.
