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.
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
Inconsistent/mismatching colors
Each and every Squid Industries balisong is hand assembled and tested to ensure that each unit is an exceptional flipper. Balisongs come thread locked.
Blemished products arrive in a Squid Industries box with a sticker. Blemished products do not come in a Squid Industries Microfiber Bag. You can purchase a Squid Industries Microfiber Bag here.
The Madko offers flippers an elevated platform by utilizing premium materials and build quality. While it shares some resemblance to its sibling line, the Mako Bottle Opener, the Madko is a completely new experience.
The Madko is our first 6AL-4V channel titanium trainer. Unlike a sandwich handle design which uses two thinner slabs of metal combined together with hardware, a channel handle is machined from a single block of material. The benefits of the channel design is that it offers superior durability and handle tolerances. Apart from aesthetics, we’ve added machined details to every side of the handles for improved grip and balance.
The Madko also comes equipped with a hardened stainless steel blade. It uses our signature precision-machined bushing system, used on all of our bushing models, for an optimized handle swing and near-zero handle tolerances. The spine is chamfered for added comfort and the mouth of the blade is a functional bottle opener.
All of these features culminate to a peak flipping experience that you’ll come to find with the Squid Industries Madko. If you’re looking for the best of the best in a balisong trainer, look no further than the Madko.
