Trainer Practice with O-ring Latch - Enhanced Version for Beginner, Lover and more

This is a great butterfly trainer. It is inexpensive and well made. It works great and is lots of fun. Unlike most, this one even has the traditional latch. It is more shaped like a traditional butterfly than my other trainers. If you have or plan to get a butterfly, this is a great training tool. You definitely dont want to learn with a sharpened version.

Bought it for my son and I ended up practicing with it lol. Good quality very durable, not sharp, low price. Recommend for practice.

It is nice to have and easy to use with good weight to it.

I’ve been using this practice balisong/butterfly knife for about two years, and for the most part, it’s been fantastic. The build quality is solid, and it was perfect for practicing flips, tricks, and improving my skills without the risk of injury. The weight and balance were just right, giving me full control over my movements. After two years of nonstop use, the knife finally broke, which was a bit disappointing, but honestly, I got a lot of great use out of it. The wear and tear were expected with the amount I was using it, and it still held up better than I thought it would.This practice balisong offers great value for money. For the price, it provides an exceptional balance of quality and durability, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking to practice without breaking the bank. The grip on the handles is comfortable and secure, even during extended practice sessions, preventing any slips or mishaps. The sharpness of the blade is perfect for practice—blunt enough to be safe, but still feels like a real knife, which is ideal for getting a true-to-life flipping experience.The lock mechanism is solid, ensuring the blade stays in place while you're performing tricks. It provides a good level of security and prevents any accidental openings, which makes practicing a lot smoother. Despite the wear from constant use, everything stayed in good working order for over two years. Definitely worth the investment for anyone serious about learning balisong tricks!Overall, this knife is perfect for beginners and intermediate flippers, and it helped me progress a ton. Even though it eventually broke, I’m still giving it 5 stars because it’s lasted far longer than I expected for the price and purpose. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to practice safely!

My A.D.D. brain won't ever let me relax, and it REALLY never lets me focus on anything single thing. I need to be multitasking just to keep sane. I've tried fidget stuff in the past but I never really clicked with any of them, so I looked for an alternative that I could use as a fidget toy.This thing is pretty good. Loud, but I expected that. The latch did break on day two, so that's not ideal, but it doesn't render the item unusable. It makes it so I can't close the trainer, and the latch is still on but useless, and gets in the way when using the trainer.Overall, it's fine. Not bad. Not great. Fine.

If you're not looking for something very long term, this is a good place to start. This trainer has a good heft to it and ended up being the perfect size for me. This trainer also has a good balance which and is pretty close, if not on the mark for neutral balance. The only thing about this trainer, like all butterfly knives, is the longevity of it. If you don't end up taking care of it, which most people do with a trainer, after about a year that's when you'll start to notice the screws coming loose and the hinges getting roughed up. However, if you do take care of it and lubricate, avoid dropping it, or just practicing over a soft surface. It will stay in it's perfect condition for years. Usually by that time you would have gotten another butterfly knife though.

I've always wanted to try a butterfly knife but didn't want to spend a lot because you know how many things you THINK you will learn but never do. I reviewed several trainers and was skeptical about the quality of an under $15 knife based on the number of reviewers who had problems with sticking parts, falling apart quickly, etc. but this one was one of the better choices so I bought it.I have been using it for about a week now and have nothing else to compare it to except my quality folding knives. It is definitely a "starter" trainer but it has been working perfectly for what it is. The parts move smoothly without binding and it doesn't look like it will just fall apart in the near future. There is quite a bit of play and it clinks and clanks but it is quite worth the price to practice with and find if you have any interest at all. It seems a bit heavy to me but I have nothing to compare it to. It may turn out to be a plus when moving up to a better one. It certainly is solid.I am trusting the seller will honor the one year warranty if it does fall apart or have any problems within that time. Very much recommended if you ever wanted to try one.

My son loved this! Works well and easy to figure out. Fast delivery.
