Hello all, I'm new to balisongs, just got my first one to see if I would like them. It's a Jaguar with black inlay in the handles and a weehawk blade. I'm enjoying flipping this thing but it seems to me that the latch is on the wrong side. In my mind, the latch should be on the side of the knife that has the unsharpened area. This way, the latch can be dropped with the pinkie finger on the flippin hand and the proper handle will already be in your palm. Unless I'm not doing something right, which is very PROBABLE since I'm learning this on my own. That just seems more natural and much faster to me anyway. Of course, when I do that and flip it over my hand, the other handle hits my finger first, which is good, then when I spin and re-flip... OUCH!! the sharpened side of the blade is chewing into my index finger!
What am I doing wrong? Is the latch on the wrong side?
