Uncoiling The Blade
See Figure 7-4.
Take the three-loop coil in your right hand. Place the band against your
palm with the blade teeth pointing outward toward your fingers. Slide the top loop off and
let drop.
See Figure 7-5.
The remaining two loops of the blade will form a cross. Hold this crossed
section out in front of you with the blade teeth pointing toward you. If the right side is
crossed OVER the left, hold the crossed section with your right hand. (If the left side of
the blade is crossed OVER the right, hold the crossed section with your left hand.)
