You are good with a blade my friend.. Great technique
-
Not as easy as it looks. It's not a problem to use the wave with a standard position but how he gets the different grips took some practice.

the hook on the spine of the blade catches the pocket and swings the blade open as the knife is drawn.

Amazing

Very good. Top-notch technique. Did you practice with a trainer knife? I'd be a bit wary of practicing with a live blade. I have a waved Endura and Delica, but I don't open them nearly this quickly.
If you could show a slower version of this, it would help clarify how you arrive at the various grips.

I don't think I owned a trainer when I shot this video, lol. As far as the various grips, for the forward grip, and reverse-grip edge-out, I simply draw the knife and close my hand around it. For the reverse-grip edge-in, you have to "roll" the knife into your fist since it starts out in the edge-out orientation. Search "P'kal folder carry and deployment" from ShivWorks for a great description/explanation of the technique.

I've been told having the wave horn catch on the lining of your pocket has a tendency to really wear it out, sometimes to a point where it begins to rip the seam.
Is that true or are they just talkin out their ass?

yeah, that can happen if you use the wave a lot (dozens of draws). I would just practice with an older pair of jeans/pants so you don't wear out a nice pair.

yeah, the crappy camera I was using didn't pick up the audio very well. See the written description.
