Decent and okay balisong trainer to start with. The handles are thin and nice! After 1 week of playing and dropping the balisong it wears out and you might need to tighten the screws. The pointy things on the side can pinch you if you aren't careful and I've been pinched TONS of times by this thing. The bite handle indicator also wore out and was unable to latch on sometimes. 3 stars for the thin handles and okay flipping Read more

Good quality, flips open good, shuts good, material is heavy which is good for practicing, awesome for anxiety and calming down, something to distract the mind. Read more

this is a good basic practice knife but will break after a couple of days of use they need to use better screws and parts, but it is good for beginners Read more

My son thought this looked cool and wanted something to mess around with that wouldn’t land him in the ER. This trainer fit the bill. It’s not sharp at all, but it’s heavier than it looks, so if you miss a trick and whack your hand, you’ll definitely feel it. Not hospital-level pain, but you’ll think twice. Feels well made and the latch works like it should. Honestly, I think it gave him a healthy respect for the real thing — he’s already said he’s good without a real switchblade now. Works for me.

I was told I had to stop twirling the knives at work as it made others uncomfortable and it wasn't safe. . . So got this as an adult fidget spinner. I don't have nor inspired to own a real butterfly or bala -whatever knife so can't say how accurate it is for training. But it is pretty fun and feels like "tricks" just more or less happen on there own, plus keeps my hands busy. I figured it would be a wobbly, loose, cheap feeling toy but even with over 6-8 hours a day of flopping, dropping, slamming, twirling, spinning, and flipping, it's as good as the day I got it. I almost want to try to break it at this point but then my bored hands would be lonely. Read more
