Bond has just killed Mishka and dressed up in his clothes, when he is confronted atop a moving train by Grishka, Mishka's twin.
At first he is pleased to see Bond, thinking it is his brother. Once the horrible realisation dawns that Bond has killed his brother though, a more sinister mien comes over Grishka, and he draws his knife preparing to kill our hero.
The pair grapple on the train, and inevitably the scuffle causes them to fall off. Bond runs for his life, but Grishka is a skilled knifeman, and manages to teasingly pin Bond to the door of a shack.
His need for revenge is Grishka's undoing, as wanting to stick his last knife in Bond personally instead of throwing it, he moves in slowly.
Right at the point he is about to stab Bond however, Bond opens the door of the shack causing Grishka to lose his balance and fall inside. Bond then wastes no time in grabbing one of the knives from the door and throwing it into Grishka's back.
Grishka:"eat this,eat this,and this,and this for my brother!
*Bond takes out one of Grishka's knives from the door and throws it into Grishka's back*
James Bond:"and that is for 009."
This is the closest that any Bond henchman has ever gotten to emotion (aside from homicidal rage).
Any more exclusively knife-throwing baddies? (aside from Mischka of course

Yeah, just looking for knife-throwers in general. It's one of those MOs that is unique enough to be cool usually without being so out there to be used only once or twice before becoming a parody. Not to mention that it can be improvised about anywhere unlike a complex gadget that leaves the character unarmed if broken.
Indeed. Well, like I said, Valerian and Navajas are the only other two knife-throwing baddies I can remember at the moment, and they would seem to fit your description, as they only uses knives in a couple scenes each (two scenes for Valerian, one really awesome scene for Navajas).
EDIT: There's also Shafek in The Mummy Returns. He throws a knife in one scene, and for that reason prior to learning his name I called him "the little knife-thrower guy."
However, because he also uses a gun in one scene I'm unsure he fits. Even Valerian never used a gun. When he and the other guy kidnap Thornhill, it's only the other guy who has a gun, which I actually didn't catch until you brought up the "uses knives exclusively" thing.
Alfred in Hudson Hawk had knives that ejected from his sleeves....but I don't remember him throwing them. However regardless they did appear to be his exclusive weapons (apart from the Sforza in one scene, heh).
