Anyone Know some cool knife tricks or ways to open a knife?

[jaegar]

fixed blade:
yank it out, couple flips, lands in the other hand, perfect.
Gotta be real familiar with the balance on it.

Brownshoe is still an active member; his most recent post was this morning. His "Brownie Pop" was just an inertial opening variant...

I think you're getting Brownshoe mixed up with brownie0486...

Oops! You're right! I'll go back and edit that post. That's embarrassing....

How does one learn "The Force" I'd like to learn more, maybe a video or DVD?

His "Brownie Pop" was just an inertial opening variant, the way many but not all of us do it. Somehow he got the idea he had discovered something wonderful and he thought if he posted it criminals would find out his wonderful secret and misuse it but if he emailed it to everyone who asked, that would be safe.

LOL, I remember jumping through hoops to get this TOP SECRET information. When I finally got it and did it I realized that I had already known about this and had opened knives in the same fashion for many years. I think someone put something in brownie's brownies.

There are no DVDs out there to my knowledge. Also I am forbidden by my master to teach others the ways of the force tm. . In order to learn the ways of the Force tm. you must be approached by the Jedi Counsel tm.. But they will only approach you if you have a high midichlorian tm. count... My count happened to very high, higher than master yoda's tm. in fact.

May the force tm. be with you,

For Buck and any other large folding knife, attach the sheath upside down on your belt over hip. When you thumb open the sheath, gravity drops the knife into your hand. Grab the blade, flip the handle down, open and into your palm ready for use. This is known as the Maryland Barfighting Method Just make sure your snap can hold the sheath closed upside down, or you may find it empty.

WOW! That could not have originated in the politically correct Maryland I live in. Must have been Maryland, someplace else............not U.S.A. Maryland.

Its also called a biker flip. You don't need the sheath, though it looks cool done that way. All you do is grab the blade and sort of snap your fingers a little and it pushes the handle down and you whip it a little and it opens into your palm.

I just throw the knife really really hard at whatever I'm trying to cut and the spinning force opens the knife for me and the impact does the cutting.

There was a trick Val Kilmer did with a sword in the movie "Willow" where he flips it edge outwards 180 degrees and catches it with his other hand. You wont believe how much time I spent trying to learn that trick and still keep my fingers and toes attached to me.

Totally unsafe, immature, and not recommeded for any age but I have done it a couple of times to raise a few eyebrows.

My wife and I met a guy once that wanted to know if we could sell him some metal teeth strong enough to open his knife with (without breaking.) He was a nail biter.......He pulled Bic pen refils out of pens when empty with his teeth also. Very unsettling to watch this but I never witnessed the knife opening trick.

Heres a tip though. Dont open knives with your teeth even if they are metal chompers you are sporting.

And if you do please don't tell us about it. Thats like fingernails on a black board to dental folks.

Anyone Know some cool knife tricks or ways to open a knife? I mean tricks with [...] a fixed blade knife.

"Opening" a fixed blade knife would be a trick I'd like to see!

theolddawg, my maryland is from the 1960-80s, nowhere near DC, pretty must near delaware and the eastern shore. men are men, women like it that way and crabs are what you eat not what you catch from a barmaid.

 

[Mr.BadExample]

Inertial wrist snap, I refused to call it brownie whatever
Works great on larger knives such as the Maxx and Skirmish, I've seen some do it with Axis locks.
The biker flip is an oldie but a goodie. I like lanyards on some (like my Sebbie) because with a practiced yank it goes right into your hand with your thumb on the stud. Mercop's mercleashes work well for that.
Mercop has a few tricks for fixed blades as well. Unfortunately last time I checked his site was down.

Pirates/sailors/marines used to hold their knives in their mouths when jumping from one ship to another. They could hold a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other and still have the knife available as necessary.

How's that for a trick? They had ba......guts those old pirate types.

hm... Bmore seems right in the middle.

Although, don't try running into johnny law over there near Delaware with any kind of sharp thing in your pocket. They don't take it kindly. It's really kind of weird for a place with a vibe such as the Eastern Shore... You'd think (with all the huge pickups, open spaces, and hunting dogs/hunting bars/bars named after hunting dogs [like my favorite spot, Howard's in Chestertown]) that they'd be more knife-friendly than my experiences have led me to believe.

men are men, women like it that way and crabs are what you eat not what you catch from a barmaid.

^^ this, however, is dead-on!!!

Peace.
