Juggling MACHETES

[thedude22]

Hi all, I'm a juggler (not pro....YET. http://www.performers.net/ubb/smile.gif ) who's always on a hunt for new props and such. i have a set of really nice juggling knives, ( Dubè brand) but they look like mini scabbards or something. i once saw a guy juggling these knives that looked like real machetes, with a large blade and a small handle... way cool. i was wondering if anyone knows of a place where i can buy these juggling knives, or do i just have to buy some real machetes. Tahnks t anyone who replies.

Ordinary machetes from an army disposal store do just fine. They spin around the weightiest (widest) part of the blade and the handle spins 4-6 inches clear of the blade tip, making them safer than they look. You don't even have to blunt them, mine are genuinely sharp. I had mine chromed and they look fantastic, they also make a truly evil noise when you drag them across the ground.
