I don't know if this idea has come up before but I thought it'd be fun to post a list of bad things to do with your balisong. These are some of my personal experiences.

1. Do not practice with your bali barefoot with sweaty palms. I now have a pretty good scar on the top of my right foot.

2. Do not attempt to teach a clumsy girlfriend how to do the basic moves over your mom's new tile floor. There is now a large chip in one of the tiles in the middle of the kitchen.

Maybe mom won't notice.

3. Do not try aerials in a wooded area or field with tall grass is you are using a bali with wooden inserts. (took about 2 hours to find my Taylor)

4. Do not try to use you bali to impress a group of people. You will almost always mess up or manage to hurt yourself or someone else. (numerous cuts)

If anyone else has some "Do Nots" please post them.

5. Don't practice naked. Trust me on this one.

Also I'd like to reiterate #4. Never fails.
 
6. Pull it out in front of a judge to open a box. They may be legal here, but let me say, he was not impressed.

For me Murphy should have written a law, that as soon as you put a knife in your pocket and forget it's there, that will be the day you end up going through a metal detector somewhere. Either an airport or a government building. JohnR7
 
REITERATE # 4!

#8: Never, EVER try to do a double flip openning with a latchless holding the unsafe handle while extremely intoxicated.

I have reason to believe that you bleed alot and that it permanently scars your knuckle turning your finger into an eternal pointer.

At least that's what I've Heard!

#9 Never flip one in class(university)...the students around you tend to get nervous.

#10 let your dumb@ss friends try and mimic you if they don't know what they are doing..they could really ruin your carpet

Never give it to your friend again after he stabs it through a tree a couple times, fixes his skateboard with it, and asks, "It's clean, right?" before using it to slice fruit.
 
Don't practice aerials at your friends house while his cat is loose.

............. sorry Kitty.

BalisongMan, I think a more fitting phrase would be, "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer."

Never let ou piece set there knowing that someone could put a custom finish on it for a nominal fee!

Do not let clumsy boyfriend try to use your balisong while watching the TV.

Do not forget about balisong in pants pocket and then wash pair of pants.

Do not forget about balisong in pocket and then go on a date.

Do not forget to take balisong from where you hid it under girlfriend's car in order to avoid breaking the law afterwards.

Thankfully, I didn't do the second a few weeks ago . . .
