Short weapon sounds like this one have become a staple of online video editing because they do a lot of work in very little time. A blade throw is instantly recognisable from games, action films and short-form edits, so creators do not need to explain it, they can simply drop it in and the audience understands the movement. It is especially common in fast cuts, fight montages and meme edits where a single second of sound has to sell speed and impact. Its brevity is part of the appeal, as it fits neatly between dialogue and music beats.
