Nice moves.

I've never really understood why so many place banned those knives. A knife is a knife. A fixed blade knife, like most kitchen knives, is more sturdy and much better for stabbing or slicing someone. And a standard folding knife can be opened quicker and without the waving or clicking with practice.

I guess it just looks scary. Which is reason enough to ban it in a lot of areas.

I also think this way.

In Finland, it is legal. But in a public place shall not be carried.

I invented the movements themselves. But certainly they have always been there. :)

So I guess next is to sling a closed balisong and get it to arrive at the target point first :-)

If anyone can timpa can :thumb:
