newbie knife question

Hi guys. I just bought a KABAR USMC, cuz I wanted to own I neat
looking knife (deplorable, isn't it?). Anyway, then I was reading that
you're not supposed to throw knives that aren't made for throwing.
Bummer. So what would happen if I threw it? It looks quite sturdy.
Would it really be damaged? I just wanted to set up a piece of wood in
my apartment and pretend I'm a badass throwing my knife at it and
trying to get it to stick. Do any of you do that kind of thing, or why
not?
