Golden Metal Practice Balisong Butterfly Knife Trainer

This balisong is amazing. It looks great, and is insanely durable. Don't listen to anyone else saying the knife broke in a few days. Seriously, I couldn't break this if I tried. I have dropped this literally hundreds of times, and there has been basically no damage done whatsoever. Sometimes I repeatedly pound this knife on a soda can on my desk to flatten it when I'm bored. I would really like to know what those reviewers were doing to their knife that made it fall apart.What makes this trainer special/unique is the fact that the handles are one sturdy metal piece, instead of two thin metal pieces held together by screws. The "blade" is held to the handles by pins that won't come out instead of traditional screws. This may seem like a bad thing because you can't adjust it, but the blade play is near perfect with this knife after a few hours of flipping. Maybe sliiightly little too loose, but nothing to worry about. This knife it a lot heavier and thicker than others out there though, so it will take a little getting used too.In conclusion, this knife is fantastic, and offered at a great price. I would recommend checking out this: Enhanced Black Practice Trainer Training Knife Tool , because as far as I can tell it is the exact same trainer for less than half the price, just in black.

Hands down it's great for safety!! Love how I can just keep these lying around without too much worry about someone stabbing themselves. It's a lot heavier than the traditional balisong. After practicing with it for awhile, flipping my real balisong knife feels light as a feather. The product is very stiff out of the box, but after bending it a little it's become much looser and easier to work with. Overall it's great for practice, especially in a more public setting where wielding a real balisong can get you into trouble.

over all this knife is amazing its worth the money i say you should buy it and its definitely worth it.Pros-very durable dropped it god knows how many times and still worked-good for people with big hands-feels like a real knife and handles really smoothly-the faint gold looks kind of niceCons-takes a a couple of days to a week to get it loose-latch is hard to close-NOT golden the handle is the faintest gold you will ever see-fell apart in about 8 months (bite handle fell off)-the gold paint is very cheap comes off with tape-cant unscrew itdespite those cons this is a very good knife i definitely recommend this blade to any beginner they would love it. my only flaw was not being able to put locate on it its unscrew able but nonetheless its an amazing knife it lasted me quite a bit especially for my clumsy hands 10/10 would buy it again.

I love this trainer, from the color to the weight, I love flipping this around! it is a little on the heavir side, making it a little more of a challenge to flip around, which in my opinion is great! I have dropped it multiple times, and it has held up a great deal, with hardly any damage other than a few nicks and scratches.

This is clearly a fake Chinese counterfeit. Clearly has the Benchmade USA logo on the blade, but it IS NOT legitimate. Pretty obvious right out of the shady "Benchmade" box. Even more obvious after one hour of use. Rivet pins loosen, latch went from too tight to flopply & worthless, blade rattles around & rattles. If it continues on this trend, it will probably fall apart before the first 30 days.

This butterfly knife trainer is great to anyone starting out, they are fluent, have a bit of weight to them, but they only last so long. After a few weeks of usage, they become very wobbly. I'd recommend this, but be warned, as they wobble after some usage.

The knife movement was very tight when it arrived in the mail. However, it loosened up pretty quickly.I didn't like that the knife closure catch never properly closed over both ends of the knife handle. I thought that this would loosen up as well and allow the knife to be properly closed/stowed away but it never did due to poor quality control and misalignment of the blade handle parts. Also the metal has gotten scraped and dented very easily. I was not expecting this from something that is supposed to be manufactured from steel.Overall my son was able to use the practice knife to fool around and do tricks with, but I wouldn't buy this particular brand again which is disappointing because my son did alot of research on Amazon to make sure he picked out a knife that he would really like.

This practice balisong is one of the best I have ever owned. It's not heavy and it's very sturdy. Right out of the package it was stiff, but it losend up quickly.
