First of all, it is "balisong", not bali-song.
Do you really think that the Philippinos give a stuff about dashes?

I got pretty good a while ago. I could do all the rudimentary "advanced" tricks like Behind the Eight Ball and I was fairly confident with all the rollovers and stuff. I never got into really ridiculous stuff like scissoring though, and I dunno. I kind of lost interest after my knife broke down and wasn't good for flipping.

That's an armor piercing one. I dislike those, I like the dual-edged ones.

You mean both sides of the blade are sharpened?

You couldn't do almost any tricks without cutting yourself.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD BRO

Also I had a butterfly knife. I felt like a badass whenever I'd do tricks.

It's called practice, lol. It takes more skill to be able to do tricks with a dual-edged one than it does with a single-edged one.

This is the butterfly knife I have, except not my picture;

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.
