Knives are tools, not toys, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun with them. From stylish opens and closes to pinwheels, flips, and other dexterous movements, knife tricks are a way to show off your mastery of your favorite blades.
As with any other skill, these tricks take practice. It’s important to be careful and responsible as you’re learning these new movements. Protect your hands and your blade with these tips for safely learning new knife tricks.
Use a Dull Knife
There’s no reason to show off before you even know how to do the trick. Whether you’re mastering the flair of a butterfly knife or improving your skills with a pocket knife, one wrong move can lead to serious injury. Put the sharp blades down for now and use a dull knife to practice and learn the motion of the trick. This will let you master the movement without hurting yourself.
Keep First Aid Supplies on Hand
Even when you’re using a dull knife, it’s important to be prepared for anything. Having easy access to first aid supplies means you’re ready for everything from pinched fingers to serious cuts. Every knife enthusiast should have essential wound care supplies at home even when they’re not learning new tricks. It’s better to be overprepared and safe than to not have the supplies you need to deal with an accident.
Pay Attention To Your Surroundings
Your primary focus is the knife in your hand, but you can’t block out the rest of the world. Awareness of who and what is around you is the key to learning new knife tricks safely.
Pay attention to the people around you and keep a safe distance so that they don’t get hurt if you accidentally drop your knife. Make sure there are no distractions that can cause you to lose focus as you’re practicing. Pay attention to your stance as well. Be steady on your feet and maintain good posture to ensure stability.
Patience Makes Perfect
Mastering a new knife trick takes time. Rushing into it and trying to show off while you’re still learning can lead to you or someone else getting hurt. Take your time, put the practice in, and let your skills grow at their natural pace.
