Fehlen

Failing

The act of redirecting a cut smoothly part way through and cutting through to another opening. This differs from Verfliegen in that it is a smooth redirection rather than jerking away.

Note: In some ways Fehlen is related to Ablauffen, the main difference being that fehlen preempts blade contact so that it fails before the contact occurs.
