This is another thing I’ve found very cool and interesting. But I haven’t had the chance to actually get into it. Anyone here do it? ---

I have dabbled with it. It definately has a chance to be bloodier than yo-yoing. Not necessarily more painful though. A metal throw that responds when not expected its pretty darn painful in its own right. That said, I do suggest getting a dull trainer knife -they have same models as one you may have as ur main- to practice some of the more dangerous moves first. Good luck. Let me know if you have ?'s Ps. I am not an expert. Little past beginner at best ---

I can do one basic sideways open. I’m sure it has a special name that I don’t know. That’s it. thefluteninja: you needed to copy A Soviet Locust’s image file into your reply. :wink: ---

I’ve learned a few tricks on it but I used a practice one that was basically blunt because it’s illegal to have one in California. Still worked great.
