Squid IndustriesSquiddy-B Plastic Balisong Trainer

My son got the white one for Christmas and it was his favorite present. Unfortunately it was lost while moving. He’s 13 and has chemo every month so he’s not allowed to do normal things like go outside and longboard or anything he used to do so these trainers are a good distraction. They are also lightweight and less painful when they hit knuckles than the metal ones. I don’t have to cringe when he drops it on the floor like the heavy metal ones. He watches videos of tricks and he dropped the previous one a few times and it never loosened or broke. This is a gift for his birthday so he hasn’t used it yet but I did open this one and the best feature from my perspective is it’s quiet and doesn’t make any noise! It appears just as sturdy as I was expecting after seeing the white one. Both times they included a sticker of their logo that’s worthy of going on his laptop so that’s a nice touch. The price is not cheap but it’s not made in China. There are no other pvc trainers I could find so you are also getting something nobody else is selling. I doubt my son will be doing tricks with a real metal knife anytime soon so this is perfect. And now it’s quiet too!

The media could not be loaded. I took a chance and bought a squid industry fidget a few months ago just to try it out.I have used my own fair share of Bali song fidgets and this product takes the very top.It’s impressively light weight to where doing several tricks back to back doesn’t make your hands tired.The material is comfortable and rigid, no issues of it falling from your hands whatsoever.Price wise it may be on the upper end, but if you are a passionate practicer of butterfly “fidgets” it’s worth it.Easy to learn tricks and get into the higher level maneuvers without damaging yourself or the product.

I picked up balisong trainers around senior year of high school, as a fidgeting option. Started with pens, broke those, moved on to some unsharpened metal and similar plastic trainers, but they always broke. Bought one of these August '21 and I've been using it constantly since. No drop, throw, or fumble has chipped the handles or blade, it still spins fluidly and without tough or loose spots. It'sIt's light, it's slick, it's lasted 3 years, buy it!!

great option for someone just getting into balisong flipping. it doesnt hurt, its durable, and the weight feels way better than some of the metal ones on this app. its a little pricey still, but at the very least you will be getting good quality out of it.

Love the attachments that keep it quiet and it is really impressive to watch my son flipping and continually excited to learn new moves. It truly makes a difference when you invest in a quality balisong vs. the cheaper ones. This one feels well balanced and the movement of it from one trick to the next looks seemless. Makes for a very cool looking 13 year old boy, lol! My son's friends always ask him to show them his moves to their parents and other kids they meet. This seller is the best and we will be doing business with them from now on exclusively!

The media could not be loaded. Was a little nervous paying $60 for a plastic knife but I wanted a quality trainer I can carry around in my pockets. This is it! Amazing quality sounds soooo good I haven’t had to do blue Loctite yet. Very sturdy and just feels good in the hands. Flips very well a little light but once you get used to it, it feels so balanced. So if you’re thinking about this between one of the $15 trainers out there spend the extra money it’s so worth it.

The media could not be loaded. First real trainer or balisong I've had besides a bottle opener one I picked up from somewhere. Bought this because of good reviews and the metal bottle opener one was going to make me lose a fiance if I kept twirling it from all the noise lol. Lots of fun and it can take a beating, I've accidentally dropped it on everything from the side of my desk to concrete and haven't noticed anyrhint wrong. Pretty lightweight and much quieter than the metal one I was using, but still sometimes annoys other people when I keep it going for long enough lol. It's definitely a fun toy.

The media could not be loaded. Worth money and the flipping is really good. though the nose pin called unbalanced but doesn’t really effect the flipping either way
