How to Create New Tricks with a Butterfly Knife

Butterfly knives are fun, as any enthusiast can tell you. Its fun learning a trick, its even better once you have it down, but then what? There are two things I like to play with, which are freestyle flipping and inventing new tricks. I'd stick to inventing new tricks if you are a beginner. Freestyling is awfully hard to pick up, especially for beginners! It took me quite awhile until I could actually proficiently flip without premeditated moves. I'll give you an introduction to both advanced topics:

Freestyle Flipping takes quite awhile to learn, however its very worthwhile. Its the act of flipping freely, do not focus on any move, and don't be repetitive, trying things you already know. With that being said of course you might open the knife your favorite way, or maybe you want to transition into a y2k. However; don't repeat a trick. Be fluent with each trick and transition each into another. Throw it up into the air, catch it with your other hand, try something you've never tried! I could go on, and on!

Now inventing new movies is a little easier. I'm sure if you've been flipping for a little while you've already tried it. I like to think about new things I could do before I actually try them. Even though they may seem impossible, most of the time they are not. Remember when you got stuck trying your first move thinking, there is no way this can be done! Well most of the time it can, it just requires more practice.

So go give it a shot! Show us what you're made of!

What is The Hardest Butterfly Knife Trick

What is the best or hardest trick on a butterfly knife trick? I'll end with a couple of tricks I found especially hard; however, each tricks difficulty varies from person to person. Where it might take my friend a week to master a trick, I might do it in a day. The same applies vice-versa. Now that doesn't mean some tricks are harder then others, because if you can't do a simple rollover I can assure you, you won't master the spinal rollover in a day.

Now in my next post I will be going over a couple different tricks, explaining them then linking you to my or other peoples videos. So hopefully you can get a hold of them. It really is a lot of fun learning these, you won't be disappointed. 

If you haven't mastered a couple tricks before, don't bother with these. At very minimal you should at least learn the basic rollover and double flip open/close before you try these. If you are like my you will probably just jump into advanced tricks right after you get down the rollover; which is the most fun way to do things if you ask me. 

Here are a couple tricks I really enjoyed, but had a real hard time learning: 

•  The Suicide Drop-Tick

 

• The Helix 
  
  

• Scissor
