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.

Description

The Squiddy-A is the newest addition to our industry-leading product line of performance balisong trainers. Just like its other Squiddy brothers, the Squiddy-A is a light, durable, and well-balanced balisong trainer for all ages and skill levels. What sets the Squiddy-A apart from the rest of the crew is its O-ring noise suppression system. If you're looking to flip at a near-silent level, this is the trainer for you. 

Ultem®, also known as Polyetherimide, is an semi-transparent high strength engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability making it great for a balisong trainer. This trainer is safe, legal everywhere (including airplanes), and perfect for young folks whose parents don't want them shredding their new sofa with a sharp butterfly knife. 

The Squiddy-A utilizes the same hardware as our other premium models—phosphorous bronze washers and steel zen pin construction create a smooth flipping action you've come to expect from Squid Industries. Take your flipping skills up a notch with the Squiddy-A butterfly trainer!

Manufactured and assembled in the USA
