The Squiddy is a best-seller and the perfect companion for every occasion. Its precision CNC machined polymer frame creates a lightweight flipping experience that's gratifying for flippers of all skill levels and age ranges.

Description

The Squiddy is the world's first CNC machined plastic balisong (butterfly knife) trainer made completely from CPVC. 

The "C" in CPVC stands for chlorinated which has a higher impact and heat resistance than typical PVC, making it great for a balisong trainer. This trainer is safe, legal everywhere, and perfect for young folks whose parents don't want them shredding their new sofa with a sharp butterfly knife. 

Despite this being our most affordable model, we guarantee that it shares the same phenomenal balance that our higher-end products have. The Squiddy comes equipped with press-fit steel rods at the end of each handle to produce better feel and momentum in each trick.

Whether you’re just starting out or an already experienced flipper, the Squiddy is an essential trainer to have in any flippers collection.

Manufactured and assembled in the USA

Blemished Products

Blemished trainers are models that didn't pass our inspection process due to cosmetic imperfections but are guaranteed to flip just as well as our new products. These are blemished units of our second generation Squiddys. Our new second generation Squiddys have a revised zen pin design which offers much higher durability.

Blemished product sales are final (no returns accepted) but they do qualify for warranty (mechanical defects only). Any damages incurred by use is not covered by warranty. Replacement parts are available for purchase. Blemished models arrive in blemished boxes and may come with the following, but not limited to:

  • Light scratches
  • Light dents
  • Inconsistent machining finish

Each and every Squid Industries balisong is hand assembled and tested to ensure that each unit is an exceptional flipper. Balisongs come thread locked.
