I juggled real, sharp knives for the company talent contest. First I attempted 3 knives, and dropped on the last catch, so no clean finish, but still... I got 20 throws in, caught the double flip, but missed the last catch.

Then I juggled 2 sharp knives and an apple... caught the double flip, took the bite, did 2 in one hand (apple and knife), and caught the apple on the knife blade. Success! It's gonna be a great year baby!

  • dube knives still amaze the rubes lol

  • You saw the tomato drop through the blades at the beginning. A tomato won't drop through a dull blade. And with 3 blades, like I demonstrated, the weight is distributed over all 3 blades, so they had to be especially sharp. You CAN, however, catch an apple on a dull blade, but not a tomato- that's why I used a tomato. You can't fool an audience of chefs/cooks. I got Nella brand kitchen knives from the distributor the day before the event and had the guy sharpen them up on the grinder.

  • Yeah, I found that out practicing with dull knives. But I wanted to juggle real knives, not cast illusions, or falsely claim that they were really sharp. The dull knives would not cut the tomato into slices and so I would just be faking the whole act. I wanted the actual danger. Overcoming the fear of the blades was part of the challenge for me. It wasn't so much a performance for me but more of a personal accomplishment- to juggle the actual sharp knives in front of a bunch of people.

  • Sharp? Really? You should just buy dubé juggling knives and use them!

  • impressive stuff! :)

  • good point. it was still a feat. i just juggle dull ones with a point and pop a balloon. for some reason i think its the noise it makes it seem more dangerous

  • If those were real knifes then that is some crazy shit man!

  • if u take a dube knife and hit an apple hard enout it will cut it without a real sharp edge. it might make your routine a little better to cause you know you wont cut yourself and you wont be scared of the blade

  • That kinda scarred me. How do you learn that? How do you practice it?

  • its this word my dad uses to describe people that arent like jugglers or anything,like normal people i guess. and dube is a juggling supply company that makes knives specifically for juggling that have a false edge that only look sharp.

  • what are dube knives? And rubes?
