The Nautilus was designed with one vision in mind: effortless flipping. The Nautilus is the epitome of peak performance, featuring a precision bushing system, lightweight channel-liner handle system, and a striking DLC (Diamond-like Carbon) finished blade. The DLC coat not only offers an enhanced blade appearance but also improves its hardness, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. This version features Carbon Fiber scales instead of G-10. Carbon Fiber is made of thin and strong filaments of carbon that can be woven together to create an incredibly fine and resilient material.

Description

The Nautilus is the most innovative Squid Industries product yet and is the first production balisong trainer to feature a channel-liner design with handle overlays. This Nautilus edition features Carbon Fiber scales over our original design!

What is Carbon Fiber?

Carbon Fiber is a polymer known in the aerospace, automotive, and military industries for being incredibly light weight and resilient. Carbon Fiber is made of thin and strong filaments of carbon that can be woven together to form cloth, or molded and coated in resin or plastic.
