Balisongs (Video)

First off, you'll need DIVX to open this video. Secondly, i've been using Balisongs for about 3 weeks now. My current knife is a CCC (Charming China Cheapie). I'm going to be purchasing a Benchmade 42 Model in the near future (MSRP $200, but you can get them in the $120 range online).

In the video are very basic moves. Horizontal/Vertical opening closings. Horizontal/Vertical opening/closings in a seamless combination, and then some intermediate moves at the end. (notice how i almost stabbed myself in the fucking nuts). Basically what i'm doing is holding the balisong inverted and flipping it that way. The hardest trick i know is doing an inverted move where the balisong flips around the webbing of my thumb using nothing but the momentum from my opening flip (as seen in the vid). Then i do a similar move, but instead of flipping it around the webbing of my thumb i transfer it to my left hand and do a basic horizontal opening (very sloppy but i didnt feel like refilming).

Enjoy
