I found this clip while searching for information about butterfly knives. I have been thinking about buying one.
Whoa. This girl is good.

 

[Valkman]

She's over on USN - I believe she used a protected or trainer blade in that one but she's made more videos.

 

[George Hill]

USN? Navy? What?

USN is an offshoot group of knife fans that opened up their own site.

I think the girl is faster.
And better looking.

A scene from one of the Indiana Jones movies springs to mind ..... while someone is doing the twirly, flippy, toss and spin stuff, you just pull your gun out and shoot them

Looks impressive but does it have any practical benefits .... apart from improving and maintaining finger dexterity?

It's a lot of fun, like yo-yo tricks, but with knives

It is one more of the various tricks that can be done with them.
The first thing that happened in CA they made them illegal
Only allowed to be used for fun and tricks
They will get you into all sorts of trouble.

Felony for the knife a misd. to have a Gun

Interesting these laws laying around on the books.

I have a nice book by one of the original people to be doing the art and selling them "Jeff Imada".

You can only get 5 years add to whatever sentence for using balisong

But in the real world outside of California you're usually looking at not having a legal problem or a misdemeanor charge.

Great léger de main, but what does any of it have to do with knifefighting?

 

[Don Gwinn]

It doesn't, as stated here already. More than once.

Not everything is about fighting. Knives, in particular, have a LOT of uses unrelated to killing people. That's OK.
No, really, it is.

 

[Whind Soull]

The girl is "Butterfly Kisses" and used to be on BladeForums.

 

[ryanl]

ya flipping the knife around like that is real cute and all, but your likely to get your teeth knocked out in the process. wouldnt try it out in the real world
