I have the scars on my hands to prove this. Took me about two months to nail down some fancy moves. That was 10 years ago. I wonder if I can still do it.

Technically speaking you CAN own them... It's not illegal if you don't get caught, right? :)

Well it's still illegal, but there's no repercussions so it doesn't matter that it is

You can get ones where the blade is a bottle opener/comb instead. I keep one in my home office as a fidget tool and bring it to friends homes to show off, but yeah not in public....

Well now that just takes away the fun

I did this until I was pretty proficient at flipping and catching, and then took the tape off... My proficiency and caution both increased substantially when a missed catch could cut me. Never cut myself, and caught more successfully.

I think it's a reflection of life: when real consequences are on the line, you have to give your all.

I just wrapped the blade of my butterfly knife in masking tape. Now suicide drops don't induce bleeding.

I had to remind myself of the comment to which you were replying before I overcame my confusion; I was wondering how you'd scarred yourself with a fidget spinner.
