Take this technique:

http://balisongxtreme.com/baliplanet2/advanced/rolloverO2/rolloverO2.htm

First off, and not the reason for this post, I like to do a bite handle opening as a starter for this technique.

Anyway, let me try and describe this.

You do a regular horizontal opening (or a bite handle opening which is much cooler

) and as the bite handle comes around to finish the opening you insert your index finger. Remove your other fingers and allow the knife to rotate on your index finger. After the blade passes your thumb, insert your thumb and pinch the safe handle. Now stop.

This is where my technique differs from Clay's.

When you pinch the safe handle you don't want to stop the knife's momentum, you just want to keep it from falling to the floor. Try and keep as much momentum as you can, though you will kill most of it. Now you do the technique again. Let go with your thumb and let the bit handle roll over your index finger and after the blade passes your thumb, insert your thumb and pinch the safe handle, ending in the same position you started.

I thought this was knid of cool, if you get really good at it you can almost endlessly spin the knife on your index finger.

After you pinch the safe handle between your thumb and index finger, instead of going the same direction and rotating over your index finger, let it the bite handle ricochet off your index finger and swing the other direction. Let the bade of the blade rotate over your thumb and let go with your index finger. After the safe handle passes by your index finger, insert your index finger and pinch the safe handle, ending in the same position you started in.

After this thumb rotating technique, let the back of the blade ricochet off your thumb and go into the first technique.

Either of these techniques can be done at any time from the reverse grip when holding the safe handle and letting the bite hanlde and blade dangle. It does not matter if the blade is dangling closer to you (as describe above) or whether the bite handle is dangling towards you.

Hope you can understand my descriptions!

Its all similar to the Y2K rollover.

hey, you can also get into that move by doing a finger roll-over. that'll put your index finger where it's supposed to be.

you can also do a thumb roll-over into a y2k roll-over repeatedly
