hello knuckle cuts, goodbye toes

i haven't played with my balisong in a long time (you can take that to mean whatever you'd like). but i picked it up today and started fiddling with it (you can take that to mean whatever you'd like, also). took me about 1 try to regain proficiency with the basic open and the basic whirly whirly. so then i tried with the "toss in the air" opening method, which requires that at one point or another, the sharp edge of the blade faces the knuckle (unlike the regular basic open, where the dull edge faces the knuckle at all times).

so, i get either cut knuckles (if i do it right) or severed toes (if i drop it). huzzah!
