Butterfly Knife - Balisong Trainer - Black Practice Butterfly Trainer with Sure Spring Latch - Balisong Knives NOT Real NOT Sharp Blade - Full Stainless Steel Fake Dull Trick CSGO Fidget Toy K10B

Bought it for my 9year old because he loves butterfly knifes, great for practice.

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.

I wish I could give this 5 stars… just for how much my kid loves it, but they break easier than they should in my opinion. It is def better than any fidget you can get, literally hours of play, but… I’ve had 3 break now. He received his first one as a birthday present from another dad-friend. He broke it the second night he had it. That may speak more to how much he played with it than anything else. I reordered 2 more with next day delivery bc when I saw it in the morning he left a note with a sad face. We did use the TINIEST BIT of wd-40 on one of them bc it was a little stiff which I actually thought was promising for lifespan. He’s been playing with those for the last few weeks and I just found out they are both broken, so I’ve ordered yet again. Tbh I’ll probably just keep ordering bc he has so much fun with them but they do fall apart.

Its a cheap plastic toy, the screws fall out when you are playing with it. I was going to give it less stars but I figured they were honest in the description and it was my mistake to buy this

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.

It was great.. until it wasn’t. It lasted less than 10 days. Was starting to get the hang of rolling and flicking it around, but it dropped and broke like Legos. I would see the actual quality is good - it’s durable material, however, the assembly seemed to have been the failing point. I dropped it quite a bit but that’s part of “training” / practicing, but it didn’t end up being very durable. Bit sad, will probably check out another to continue. It was fun while it lasted.

The knife had a nice weight to it and it is what you would want for a starter butterfly knife without the ability to get hurt. It is better than the ones that are combs because they tend to be too light.

Got this for my brother and it’s perfect. It looks just like the pictures and moves with ease. It feels like great metal and the weight is just right. It flips smoothly and works perfectly for what he uses it for
