KEEDASIntegral Channel Plastic Handle, Ultra-Lightweight Durable Multitool, Best Balance and Inertia, Great for Beginners, Ideal for Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary (Squid - White-1)

This thing is so much fun. I've always wanted a butterfly knife, but I was always afraid I'd cut myself. This allows me to learn how to use one without worrying about cuts. I got one for my daughter as well.

I would not buy this Butterfly knife because it is very cheaply made and it's also very overpriced and mostly because if you're trying to look for a really nice, well made plastic one, do not buy this one, it is blue made with horrible made plastic It weighs like a feather. Not good. Do not recommend.

The media could not be loaded. This is an alternative to other "flippers" that one can get, namely balisong trainers or the real deal. The construction is all plastic, save for metal screws and bushings. It's designed to flip like a balisong would, but there's no blade to speak of, just a plastic slab about 1/8" thick.While the overall assembly is similar to a real knife or trainer, the main difference is the weight. It's 61 grams or about 2.1 ounces, roughly half the weight of a metal one. This does affect the manipulation techniques that you use. It's hard to put into words, but I could describe it as "springier" than metal, but also with less inertia. It's about the same speed, but perhaps a bit faster to start yet slower in the middle of the motion and takes a little more wrist roll to ensure it follows through.The build quality is fine; they even put brass bushings in to ensure smooth rotations.There's no latch, but they include a rubber band to designate one handle from the other (up to you if you want that to be the "safe" or the "bite" handle.)See my video review as well.I would say that this does not take the place of a metal trainer, and I would recommend one of those if you are starting to learn flipping. I think where this item DOES fit in is places where you would not want to carry a metal object at all, such as if you're out in public. Or if you want to have no way to possibly injure yourself, this would also be an option. I think it fills those niches fine.

This Integral Channel Plastic Handle from the KEEDAS Store is a tool for which there is no obvious purpose. The product is described as a light-weight, multitool, and everything about the description is intentionally obtuse. Clearly, this is a device for practicing the art of handling a balisong, or butterfly knife, which is illegal in many jurisdictions.The knife originated in the Philippines. My Dad spent some time there during his time in the service, and I remember him telling me stories of people who could handle these knives with amazing skill. Acquiring such skill requires a lot of practice, and passing laws against these knives makes the knives very attractive, especially to young males.This "multitool" arrived in a white box with a small wrench for adjusting the tension, or drag, on the joints. No instructions were included, but I'm sure you can find tons of videos on YouTube, uploaded by "experts". It is basically lightweight balisong handles with a fake plastic blade. The handles are smooth with no flaws or burrs. The joints have brass bearings to make the action very smooth. I've deducted two stars because this is just a way for a company to separate fools from their money.

It sucks the handles are loose it looked way different then in the picture it’s plastic and when I tried fixing it it won’t work

It's plastic. My other practice knife is aluminum and has more weigh, but it has enough weight that if you practiced in front of a TV or your mother's glass menagerie curio cabinet, it could lead to massive damage and she will kick you out and disown you. It should do most tricks, but I'm only a beginner so I'm having a lot of trouble with the Chaplan (spin it around your finger) because it just lacks the momentum the keep it going. I can do it easier with the metal knife, but I will eventually lose it after 1 or 2 spins and I don't want it flying into anything. I wouldn't worry about it breaking because it is a sturdier than thin plastic and just as long as you're not practicing over concrete or around a wood chipper.

This is a fun way] to practice your techniques with a butterfly, or to let a new person practice with a safe tool. Its weight and balance are odd, but it works perfectly fine as a beginner practice option. It's a great fidget tool as well. It is well made, does what it is supposed to, and should last a longtime. I recommend this without hesitation as a fidget toy, practice item for a beginner, or just an extra practice tool for an experienced person.

First off, dont buy this thinking it's a multi tool, it's not. You open it up and there's a blunt tear-drop shaped plastic piece. As a practice flipper it's no good for learning because it's too light, you will pick up bad/wrong habits so I do not recommend learning with this. As an experienced flipper I may not use this even as a fidget toy simply because it's too far off the real thing. But as a stand-alone item it's not bad, very smooth all around and very safe to play with. No worries about dropping it or using the bite handle and most importantly no sharp points or edges. I do wish there was some sort of weight to be added to the ends and any kind of usefulness once opened.
