Float like a Butterfly, Sting like a one too?

"Start by holding your knife loosely..."
 -a few seconds later-
*swish swish swish*

I hope the simple video above has got you licking your lips and fantasizing. This weapon here is the Balisong, the Batangas knife, or the Butterfly knife (I bet it sure stings..). Its origins is a topic of debate, with many cultures claiming it as their invention. In the hands of a trained user, it can be a real spectacle - a whirling, spinning VORTEX OF DOOM!



A few choice comments about this video:
-"dude you are the s$@! I feel sorry for whoever f$#&@ with you"
-"thats really cool"
-"awsome !!!!!!!!!!!"
-"respect!!!"

(editor's note: I DID NOT ADD ANY EXTRA EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!)

Oh, and if you were wondering, there does exist a larger version of the Balisong. It's 37 inches long. It's the Balisword, and yes, it's a whirling spinning kabooie of vortexual doomination.

What You Need:
- A Balisong (hurhurhur)
- A few spare fingers
- Practice (which makes perfect)
