Illegal in most states do to pure awesomeness. Ladies and gentlemen I bring to you the contact juggling of knives :)





BTW none of these videos are mines. Just some of the best examples I could find on youtube.

I've messed around with this a bit before I ever got into contact juggling. Its funny looking back on things I used to do and realize its not that odd that I got into contact juggling and object manipulation.

If you want to do this sort of thing but cant get the knife or dont want to carry a knife like this they sell a pen version! I got one as a gift and its a similar feel.

Many people who flip will often compare it to contact juggling, even if they've never heard of contact juggling. Most people say it gives them the same meditative feel and exercise as boading balls.

sweet, i've been wanting to try this for years, but they are highly illegal in Canada if taken outside your house. That bottle opener fixes that, i'm getting one... or five.

I just got back into flipping. I have done some basic stuff over the years, but I bought two practice knives yesterday that have dull blades, so I can start learning everything with both hands.

There are some really good videos on youtube.

I almost got into this with a friend, and then found CJ and my friend got over it. I still have a great liking of Balisongs now, though they are illegal in California. But I have always wanted a trainer.
