My technique starts with a flip out opening (kinda like a windmill but to the side), it's found in www.balisong.com or in one of Jeff Imada's books (I think the first one). But instead of flipping the handle out, around, and receiving it I flip the handle out and part way around and then I let go, this produces a "Helicopter" effect with the 2 handles and the blade twirling in air horizontally, I then catch it with my opposite hand (usually my left hand catches). The problem is the catching part; as the balisong is twirling counter-clockwise (if balisong is going from RH to LH) I have to catch it in my LH, it's really hard to receive both handles and make the technique complete and smooth. I hope you understand what I am trying to do and it's easy to see the problem when you know what is happening, if you don't understand what I am doing just let me know and I'll try to help as best as I can.

Hmmmmmmm........ I'm not sure I'm getting what you're saying.

What you describe doesn't sound anything like what that lesson 6 is (a windmill, only slightly tilted).

getting 'em open
is half the fun!
 
I start out doing the "tilted windmill" but in the middle of it I let go and the bali goes sailing over to the other hand while spinning on a horizontal axis (or a tilted axis) and I catch it with my other hand.
