i'm not quite sure if this thread belongs here, so if someone finds it offensive, i'll move it to the tactical area, but i'm interested in hearing what everyone thinks.
i know that most of us share the perspective on the bali, that it's a thing of beauty. being able to manipulate one well: it's kind of like dancing, only with sharp edges.
taking all of that into consideration, there's still the worst case scenario when we might be in a position where the business end of the balisong gets "sticky." in a sticky situation, how do you like to flip and grip? what comes naturally to you? offensive or defensive? hammer fist? reverse icepick? saber grip? does anyone do flow drills?
if i'm trying to make a statement, the double horizontal flip comes pretty naturally. if it's about CQD, it's a latch drop into reverse icepick. with the bowie clip point, it allows easy hooking and transitions into slash/stab/throw combos.
i don't know what's got me more excited: the fact that i've still got loads to learn about openings and closings, or all the stuff in between!
peace out,
devilboy
