Thanks Silke - Ok, so now that we are no longer going to be hijacking a thread on toys. Lets delve into knife play.

There are various degrees of knife play. From simple scratching of the skin, to blood letting and scarification. The latter two obviously more extreme. You can use simple butter knives to scrape away wax after a nice heavy wax play session (another thread for us if we get into that). You can use knives such as the one I have posted here. Its actually a dagger, and yes, it will cut you, it is actually sharp. Many knife stores carry fantasy blades. In the USA they won't sell them sharpened most times. Since my stay here in Europe, I have been lucky to find to VERY good vendor locations for knives. One of them is in Cochem on the Mosel River, very romantic time. Knife shopping within sight of a castle has definite appeal.... I digress. I also have found some vendors at "sex toy conventions" as it were. Here they sell pretty much every toy imaginable.

So onto knife play.

Depending on the type of play you are interested in getting into, there are various degrees of danger involved. The more deep the cut, the more danger involved. IF you are going to break the skin, it would be best to be come familiar with the muscles and nerves you could be disrupting should you get that deep. As well as what veins and arteries you will be getting into, and if that would be a life threatening area to open up.

I find fantasy knives to be appealing because they carry good weight, and look intimidating for the submissive. I use the weight of the knife to my advantage, and depending on the depth of the scratch/cut I desire, will depend on how I place the blade upon the skin. Near flat works as a starting point, and adjusting the angle as you play to acquire the results you are looking for seems to work best.
