In this post were are quickly going over what is knife play.
What is Knife Play?
One of the most popular topics in BDSM is knife play. Knife games are based on fear, rapid movement of the knife on the body, and the sensation of accidentally forming superficial cuts.
Knife Play & Cutting
When playing with knives, it is essential to observe general safety rules; in particular, alcohol is completely excluded. Also, you can’t play when you’re tired. Knife games can be performed in two ways.
– Fetish knife game, practically safe, is played with blunt knives that do not cut the skin. Sometimes they are previously placed in the refrigerator, making them seem sharp. In this case, scratching and pricking the skin with the end of a knife can be carried out – usually without violating its integrity.
– The traditional knife game, “cutting,” involves working with a sharp knife capable of causing severe cuts. There are specific guidelines for choosing such knives. In particular, knives made of damask steel, which has a wavy nature, are not recommended – they are difficult to disinfect. The sharpening of the knife is carried out on a fine-grained stone so that there is no chipping. Sharpening angle 20-30 degrees.
Knife play and cutting safety
All kinds of scalpels and similar tools are not used in knife play- they are only intended for “cutting” and scarring, in which an incision is made to leave a scar and is accurately calculated. The absence or minimization of cuts when playing with knives is determined by the skill of the sadist.
Movement in the nipples, groin, face, and neck, as well as the bends of the arms and legs, wrists, and similar areas, where even superficial cuts can be extremely dangerous, can only be carried out with some experience.
It is crucial to monitor the condition of the bottom – they can go into the subspace and start falling or make involuntary movements, which can be seriously risky during knife play. Therefore, if cuts are made in knife play, they should only be made in safe areas. The depth of the cut is no more than 2-3 mm. That is, no more than the thickness of the skin.
There are variants of playing with knives. For example, when the bottom’s body is covered (usually loosely) with a thin cloth, and it is cut off by the sliding movements of the knife. This version of the game requires perfect use of a knife, and secondly, a very sharp tool, and is not intended for beginners.
Some extra tips
- A unique technique for making cuts is best learned through practice from an experienced user.
- Have a first aid kit with a tourniquet, dressing bag, sterile napkins, plaster, alcohol napkins, and antiseptics on-hand. It is also advisable to have ice.
- The bottom is then pre-treated with a disinfectant liquid. And after the scene, the cuts are treated, and sterile napkins are applied under the patch.
