there is a range of things that can be done with knife play...my strongest recomendation would be to learn from someone first hand, in person...however, if you are not going to do that, my second strongest recomendation would be to start slow and with lots of communication...as for what blades to use....long blades look interesting but they can cause problems when it comes down to control - the further the end of the blade is away from your hand, the less control you have...so start small...as for sharp or dull, my contention is that it doesn't really matter if you are aware of what you are doing....what does matter is if the blade has any kind of knicks or barbs or any other sort of imperfections on it...be absolutely sure that whether the blade is dull or sharp it is smooth...the only unintentional injuries i have ever seen from knife play have been from imperfections on the blade....so always check each time you play, no matter how long the blade has been perfect...other than that...be aware of any potential triggers for both the bottom and the top...i have known tops that have been triggered durring knife play, when they were holding the knife...they freaked out and dropped it and went into a ptsd reaction....just be prepared for all possibilities...it's been suggested not to tie down a bottom for their first knife play scene...i don't know if that is a universal truth, but if you think it is wise not to do so with your bottom, don't.... thats all i can think of at the moment... chelle
