thanks for the tips bro, I've been teaching myself how to flip knives to distract myself from getting high. I'm 8 days sober and I am already finding myself spinning my knife just out of habit now. there's not a lot of skills that come so easily to me but this one really did!
This was actually really easy I’ve never done any knife tricks, didn’t even cut myself ones and I have really long acrylic nails on too. Thank you for the really good and helpful video 😁
You'd be surprised how much further you can get in life by mastering some stupid things... and you never know how often skills like 'catching knives' can come in handy for every day life :-)
@@Rack47 Like my Wife always says... "were here for a good time, not a long time..." The irony is that I think that quote comes from her Grandmother who has no sense of taste and swears she was burned at the stake in the 1600's... (I think she's a vampire).
This video might be called "The best way to cut yourself with your knives" or "How to lose at least one finger with fidgeting knives" LOL Thank you for the video Mister J and take care to your fingers ;)
Thats right! Once you get it down its second nature, you can actually practice with other things to get even better like screw drivers and pretty much anything
When I worked at Safeway as a kiddo, this was something that I did with a box cutter just as a... I guess as a stress ball, eventually I got down to both hands and while the transition from boxcutters* to real blades was... painful lol It's something that i keep up with and has been excellent for my hand coordination that I found to be degrading. As it's an uncommon skill, learning it ambidextrously is also very beneficial as you can start with both hands from the ground up and give your non-dominant hand a step up in everyday tasks as those muscle actuations will apply to other things. One thing I recommend though is hand clamps, the times I cut my self once the technique is learned, repetition is what burns it in, yet when those uncommonly worked muscles become strained you often don't realize as its a moment not a weight thing... thus your hand moves but not precise enough for the flip and thus leading to cuts and drops... sometimes your just like wait wtf this was working before, and if you stretch out your hand again you'll find it works perfectly for a time. Keeping those muscles from seizing up is the real key and while hand clamps don't do much for the coordination benefits, they do allow you to repeat these complex coordinated motions successfully. This is especially true for your non-dominant hand where at least for me I found to be the one that would have the higher fail rate. For instance, when I got back into doing this a few years ago, the right hand didn't skip a beat and I once I found the balance of the blade could flip it with ease in all the ways I do in a few hours of trying it for the first time in years... left hand not so much lol. Now when I do this, first round goes and the few after as long as I've been keeping up fine on both hands, but the left will still call it quits much sooner... despite how much 'other' exercise the wrist gets with that hand lol. Very cool vid btw, some new stuff I might try out as well, looks like you kinda applied the coin flip to a knife on some of it, which is not only probably brilliant for coordination, but cool as hell lookin too :-) *(ergonomically perfect for flips and significantly less dangerous due to light weights, Remember, the blade cuts you, but the weight pushes it into you... Lesson I learned when a blade I was sharpening slipped out of the vice and went through my wrist lol... sploosh...)
I've never been able to do it with my non dominant hand, I can use a hammer and many tools especially working in construction so many years, but could never get this or even close to this lefty, I can do a few catch moves with my left or vice versa off my left, but your very talented to have both hands down so good I solute 👊
@@NeevesKnives You should see the scars lol. I would say anyone could do this, but I don't know how true that is, as nural formations are much easier as a young'un and I started young... I picked it up again as an adult, but that's different... so I am a terrible case study for that theory lol. But if I'm correct, and if your willing to carve your hand up lol I think it can be done, just have to put the time in. Alot of what I do is a mirror for my dominant, ie I perform it in my right and then try and copy it in inverse to the left. At this point to keep it up in my left I start with that and keep at it if I am having trouble getting it going, but like i said, in my right hand I can do it without trouble one shot no problems... Interesting enough... I can't play guitar for shit because I have trouble coordinating actions on my right and left hands that are different. So mirroring both hands is something I can do, but doing two different things with them I can't... Humans are nuts the way we function, crazy and complex machines... it's insane how much the brain is involved with our bodies that you would think is wholey separated, and how much learning and nural development is involved in the most basic of functionality. This I believe is why new things are much more difficult as you get older, yet refining them is. Still, it's proven so far anyways how healthy it is to try and do this, I assume just like muscle atrophied you can probably get brain atrophied so always be learnin and sometimes that IS just doin... ;-)
Thanks Jerod...looks like a fun thing to learn how to do. It might be a good idea for me to wrap the blade with some tape because I’m sure I would cut something that I don’t want to cut...lol.
No 🩸blood🩸 on the carpet? AMAZING! Jared forgot to say that this works a LOT better (more aerodynamic) if you put a hair-splitting, wicked sharp edge on it first! 😉 I personally like to do my flippin' with a Ganzo while hanging over the railing of my eighth-floor balcony. Hee...hee ... No loss when I do the toss! 😎
For begginers try to do it on a table or higher surfice so if u drop it it's gonna land on table and not on your leg and also to protect your hands try wraping edge in tape or wear gloves 👌👌
Now, whenever I drop something directly in front of me, my instinct is to catch it before it leaves my arms reach. Unfortunately, that sometimes means driving said object into my poor defenseless balls. Knife spinning might not be for me. 😂
This was my fidget toy growing up I naturally know everything 😂 Best to practice with a butter knife yall it’s also badass at the family dinner 😂 You can also add in stabs for combat purposes and eventually it becomes fluid
No but this isn't what I wad looking for trying to learn to do a slow spin in with my fingers and return to my palm I can flip it I can double flip it I can do a few different "spins" but the finger tricks elude me
What spyderco is that? Looks pretty Edit: Fairly sure that's a gayle bradley 2, I don't see a micarta handle on the website though. Are those aftermarket scales?
When you start to learn u reccomend some knife proof gloves just to start at least bc well we would wanna lose those precious fingers we spin with... and do other things with....😅😅
Lol cause of another video of yours I was looking for knife tricks and found this! Thank you. Its weird I never learned these before as well I know lots of balisong tricks. I'll learn this
You should practice with a very dull knife with a broken off tip. Take a junk knife and run it all over the street till it is dull. I like the airborn flips, the most i can catch it 3 full spins
@@NeevesKnives I started off with remotes actually, I'm almost a pro at it, but I keep catching it on different sides, so I have a question.. How do you practice catching it on the non-blade side?
You can also learn to actually flip the knife you do get it eventually, I’m talking one and a half to 3 and a half flips it’s all for looks but it’s fucking sick when you get fluent

man that is easy why do you think its hard?
@@thehermit761 its ez*
Use a training knife or unsharpened metal knife
I will be fun he said
While practicing these tricks as a beginner, for safety you could wrap the knife in tape so if you do mess up, you won't accidentally cut your hand
I have never seen such useful and valid advice
I'm using a butter knife
@Jack RyanBall same but near my eye too don't ask how
@Jack RyanBall I also cut my fingers open and it was a big cut and there a scar there
@Jack RyanBall I cut my finger open but it didn't really hurt Since I was confused what was happening and took me at least 2 min to know what I did

SAME THE EXACT REASON I WANNA LEARN
I even learned Russian to boot
Gonna need something dull AF so that I don't loose a finger. 🤣🤣🤣 Later!
That or tape the edge, I shoulda put a disclaimer
Thanks Jerod...looks like a fun thing to learn how to do. It might be a good idea for me to wrap the blade with some tape because I’m sure I would cut something that I don’t want to cut...lol.
Definitely i should have said that first
I just searched for this so I could do it on my phone when im in school, and it's hella cool
Bang!
Hahaha! The ultimate “hold my beer and watch this”!
Thanks for the tutorial! Got a new knife last month and wanted to learn this.
Sorry for delay, I just my stitches removed.
Lol
tip to people who are new around the knives: when training you can put tape around the blade and wear shoes to make sure youll not stab stab urself😁
No need when your not training thank you! Professional
Looks fun, and easy with some practice
Definitely
It’s actually pretty simple when you try it
No 🩸blood🩸 on the carpet? AMAZING!

You got skills Jarred
Thanku thanya very much
Man I wish someone would leave a comment about how knives can cut your fingers . Cool video now I have something to do at work today , thanks Neeves .
😆, someone even made a video on how not to cut yourself when playing with a knife it was just for a laugh, it was funny, one minute knife reviews
Gonna check that out , keep killing it
For begginers try to do it on a table or higher surfice so if u drop it it's gonna land on table and not on your leg and also to protect your hands try wraping edge in tape or wear gloves 👌👌
Best to do it over the carpet sitting down or a blanket on the ground/table like you said can slide off the table and get ya
Oh yes so easy. I kind of am attached to my fingers. Plus blood thinners make that any mistake would be very messy. Cool to watch though.
I was asking for this video on instagram AWESOME!
Him: it’s pretty easy
Me: No fingers left
Nice man. I flip with balisongs and karambit but never tried with fixed blades

thanks gonna try with the blade taped up. used to do martial arts and nunchukas so hopefully still have that wrist spinning skill set lol
Love the video. Been practicing. Got the motions down perfect. Now I’m gonna start speeding it up lol wish me luck
Looks great, will make my friends worry about the safety of my fingers
the ending was the best part
If you wanna practice this without risk and you have a switchblade (preferably OTF) you can just keep the knife closed and use the handle
Can I do this with a cutter instead of a knife?
I do this as a habit I love knife spinning

I started with a crafting tool that has the exact same shape as a knife but the edge isn’t sharp enough to cause harm
Smart
I would recommend using a plastic knife because it won't cut you as bad, but that's just my opinion
How isn’t it the basic flip good for self defense? You can easily go from your normal stab to a backstab or sidestab
Practising this with my plastic cake knife 😂
Perfect
Can you spin your knife 360° too?
