Balisong Butterfly Knife Trainer - Practice Folding Knife Set + Unsharpened Blade + Set of 2, Dragon and Silver with Spring Latch

I think that for the price, this is an excellent deal. They come neatly packed in a nice quality box. For presentation, I give them a 10. The feeling of opening these brand new knives is a delightful feeling. As for the knives themselves. They are clearly quality knives, but I'm not sure if I would say they are the best for flipping. The weight feels great and balanced, but the knives feel too stiff. They don't open as easily and feels tight. When it comes to the latch, it's much too tight. At least for the ones I received. Trying to open or close the latch with either the knife open or closed, has hurt my fingers due to how hard I have to push into it. It can be overlooked by some but is rather discomforting to me. And my final gripe, which I could easily discard due to how minuscule it is, is the design on the dragon trainer. I will start by saying that the design was really well done. Both symmetrical and overall a beauty to look at, but what I did notice is how right out the box, one of the four dragons had a dragon decal slightly scratched off. Not noticeable if you aren't looking for it, but still there. I feel the price is good but would feel better paying maybe 17-19 instead. If these 3 issues were handled, I'd be more than happy to pay the asking price, maybe more. These are still great knives, but for me feel better as decorative knives rather than ones you can train with.

My son absolutely LOVES these! He has been begging me for a butterfly knife for years. I had a friend gift him one that was given to him a child. I have been to nervous for my son to have it, in fear that he might hurt himself. He has been using these training blades for a few weeks, and it a little ninja with them! Thank you for making these and giving him the confidence he needed (and that my “mommy nerves” needed too!

This trainer kit is spectacular. I've already been using it a lot. The cheat sheet definitely helps and links you to YouTube videos as a PDF on your phone or computer. One of the trainer knives was a bit stiff but otherwise a great product. Also the small pocket knife is very cool. Kit comes with two carrying cases for each trainer or other knives.

One of the practice knives was a bit stiff but my husband was able to work on it and get it fixed. Other than that, this was a good product and my grandson was very happy with it.

Beautiful looking set. It takes time to break in sufficiantly compaed to some others though. Believe it or not it helps my arthritis .

They were high quality

I love that my children can have fun with this without getting hurt while learning a new skill. Beautiful design.

not really suited for much else beyond simple openings, any kind of actual flipping is hard to do because of how unbalanced it is. on one the handles are way too light for the blade and on the other one is just too heavy anything past a simple rollover wont end too well (unless attempt flipping bad trainers is your thing)
