But there's tricks that would literally be impossible with both edges sharpened. Like, any trick where you roll over the thumb.
Unless part of the trick is tolerating the pain of knives cutting into your skin.
Or you know, not being a pusillanimous individual. :D
No, I worded it wrong, both edges are sharpened at the tip, and then like an 1.5" from the top and then the rest is dulled. :o
