2 Cool Knife Tricks To Perform With A Balisong Trainer

We all love to perform cool knife tricks. But beginning with the basics can sound tough and daunting. We have you covered by teaching you two basic yet cool knife tricks that you perform with your butterfly knife.

Zipper

This is a really simple but pretty cool knife trick called ‘the zipper’. You can begin this cool knife trick by holding the butterfly knife in your with the safe handle closer to your palm.

You’re going to begin by pinching with your thumb and your index finger on this cool knife so you can release the handle with your last three fingers.

During the cool knife trick, the handle will swing out in a straight position. One thing you want to note about basic cool knife tricks is to start from pretty low down- about halfway down the thigh. Even with this cool knife trick, your thumb should be halfway down your index.

Now this cool knife trick gets complicated. You have to begin by releasing the bite handle and fling it over the back of your hand. You got the safe handle paste about halfway up and with your left hand, you’re gonna flip the knife over the back of your hand.

From here, take your dominant hand and put your hands together like you’re clapping. Because you’re gripped so low down, you can just take your thumb and you can put it on the safe handle here to progress with this cool knife trick.

You’ve got the safe handle, you flip the bite handle over the back of your hand then you clap your hands together and at the same time you’re gonna take your thumb and put it on the safe handle and your index finger and put it on the back of the safe handle.

This cool knife trick will take a bit of practice until you can get good with the momentum and part of that is doing a little bit of a backwards swing in a forward swing.

You’ve got your thumb on the safe handle and your index on the safe handle and all you’re gonna do is you’re gonna pinch with those two fingers and you’re gonna remove your other hand.

You’ve got this cool knife in one hand and all you’re gonna do is you’re going to release it with your last three fingers and flip the knife back open.

So that’s the cool knife trick done. It is pretty simple but quite flashy and fun like if you have the knife in your left pocket and you pull it out, you can do a little bit of a swap. Hope you find this cool knife trick fun to practice with.

Backhand Twirl

This cool knife trick is called the backhand twirl and it’s pretty easy but a little bit harder than the zipper. But this cool knife trick is the next logical step in your cool knife tricks journey.

To perform this cool knife trick, you’re going to start with the safe handle of balisong-this doesn’t have the latch on it and what you’re going to do is to start by throwing the rest of the knife while holding on to the safe handle.

Throw the rest of the knife around your last three fingers so you get your index out of the way and throw the knife around your last three fingers.

Repeat : hold the safe handle, get your index out of the way, throw the rest of the knife over your last three fingers. Hopefully you are getting the hang of this cool knife trick now.

Then, what you’re going to want to do to progress in this cool knife trick is you’re going to take your index which you’ve taken out and put it in front of the safe handle. Now, you’re going to throw the rest of the knife back over your index finger.

Now we are getting into a tough part of this cool knife trick. What you’re going to do is take the safe handle, throw it over your three fingers index in front, back the way you came then take your thumb out from the front and put it in behind the safe handle.

To make this cool knife trick look extra cool, you’re going to want to spin the rest of the knife in a circle so it winds up on top of your thumb. The faster the spin, the cooler the knife trick becomes.

To finish this easy but cool knife trick, you are going to take your thumb out and let it sit so you wind up with something like a pencil looking grip. You just performed a cool knife trick with your balisong!

The thing about this cool knife trick is once you learn it, there are actually three additional variations of it. By learning one trick you actually kind of learn four cool knife tricks.

For the second variation, you can just go back to what you learnt, so you start holding the knife like a pencil by the safe handle with the blade down and you’re going to do the same four or five steps in reverse.

We know these cool knife tricks will take you places by practicing them again and again and learning different variations of them. Have fun with these tricks!
