blue painters tape will work better with your knives the electrical tape will be too tacky and leave an annoying residue on your knives. ******************************** 3300, 9 cb-bk,950,530sbk,3550,10412,550,32, 723 le #35,746 fp # 36, Customized 530sbk by Benchmade, 805-1101 #6, 585sbk. ******************************** Lum Lunatic member.

Read my thread on minimizing cuts. What move are you trying to do? I find "mental rehearsal" of what I'm trying to do works. | |||

That's the sad part. They were easy moves. I read your post which was very good. I am literally the newest of newbies. I think I will use some tape for a while. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 42 (x2) - 51bk - 530bk - 5500bk - 690 wood and CF - 690 CF LE - 9100bk - bradley mayhem (x2) - custom grip - 520 M4 - 525 M4 (x2) | |||

One of these days, when I have more money than sense, I'm going to buy an extra 51, dull the edge and round off the point! ************************************************************************ Charter Member #9 and Skullmaster °„° Lum Lunatics Brotherhood of the 420 Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | General, and Member #950 Pardue Pimps® #3 Jack of all Trades, and Good Enough to get Paid for All of Them. ************************************************************************ "No time for the old 'in-out,' luv - I've just come to read the meter!" -Alexander DeLarge (Prisoner Number Six Double Five Three Two One) | |||

I realize that this is a Benchmade site but you can buy a Kimura and do that for a lower cost. | |||

While you're right on the price it's better to practice with same weight/design trainer. ____________________________ Knock, knock. "Who's there?" "Me!" "Me? No way it's me. I'm right here!" My Benchmades (updated) Benchmades That Used To Be Mine... | |||

I have a couple of Kimuras and I like them a lot, but RxEnergy is right on about my reasoning. I've got a good deal of others, too, including two "dull-from-the-manufacturer" Knifekits. All I'd have to do with one of those is round off the tip, but it's just not the same feel. ************************************************************************ Charter Member #9 and Skullmaster °„° Lum Lunatics Brotherhood of the 420 Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | General, and Member #950 Pardue Pimps® #3 Jack of all Trades, and Good Enough to get Paid for All of Them. ************************************************************************ "No time for the old 'in-out,' luv - I've just come to read the meter!" -Alexander DeLarge (Prisoner Number Six Double Five Three Two One) | |||

for what its worth... 1. if the knife is not some thing you are going to cut with, just run the edge down a ceramic hone to knock the edge off. 2. stop trying to catch it when things are going wrong.... 3.if your afraid it will get hurt from the drop then I recommend practicing in the yard in a grassy patch. I really like over the bed. you don't have to bend over to far to pick it up. 4. tighten the pins a little bit, it will spin slower, and you have to be more deliberate about your movements, but hey it worked for me. 5 did I mention not catching the bali if the trick goes rong...just let it drop. most cuts I've ever had have been just a bit deeper than paper cuts. Band aid brand has a really great bandaid. and some neosporine..a few days and you're twirling again. _________________________________________ ... it's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses...Hit it...!

Perfect advice! The only nasty cut I got was trying to catch a falling knife after a botched trick. It's a good way to get a flap cut instead of the surface cuts. Also be ready to move your feet out of the way when you drop a knife. Getting a knife in your foot will ruin your day. | |||
