H&S Practice Butterfly Knife Trainer - Dragon Design with Blunt Blade - Balisong Trainer Knife - Only for Training - Can't Be Sharpened - Made From Stainless Steel - Not Real Blade

I have been using balisongs for years and this surpasses any beginners balisongs I have had experience with. Pros: - Durable, beginners will drop this plenty without breaking it. - Amazing quality-to-cost ratio, you're getting great quality at a cheap price. - Stunning design, most cheap options are solid colour and bland - this has a beautiful dragon engraving. - Has a functioning latch! Many cheap options also do not. - Long lasting hinge, both of mine still work after several years of use and dropping - You won't hurt yourself with it, it's a trainer! Cons: - May require cleaning, comes out of the box a little bit stiff. Give it a quick clean and perhaps learn some basic tricks with it and it should be good to go. Perfect option for beginners, someone interested in balisongs, sleight of hand training, or even just display!

Amazing design and great for beginners, however gets a little sturdy and stuck sometimes when flipping and needs a little nudge for it to go down but if you have locite then am sure it will be fine, recommend if you a low budget.

Its a good trainer balisong my only complaint is that the latch doesn't actually lock the balisong after a little bit of use because the spring is so strong it just pulls it back up into the unlocked position this isn't a problem with the open lock position but with the closed one it is its very heavy and sturdy but you have to be careful not to hit your knuckles because the handles are very heavy compared to other bali's you also have to be careful when closing it I actually cut my thumb because when I closed it my finger was a tiny bit to close to the middle of the balisong so be careful when you are closing it fast also since it is so heavy expect to get bruises on your fingers for the first couple of days but anyway its a good product nice and sturdy and I would recommend it and for those who say that the handles get stiff my one didn't so maybe you're just not using it enough also if you do have that problem just put on a little bit of oil to the joints or something

Light good for new people and safe nice disin very good .

I give this product a 3 star due to the trainer working very well in the first couple of months. As a training knife it should be good to withstand a bump or two, or a fall to the ground. However over time (2 months) this knife has lost the middle pin in one of times it has been dropped to prevent the blade from spinning free itself. The trainer also has no way to tighten the bolts as after a while they get loose. So my butterfly trainer is loose for the rest of time now- I had to buy another one. I liked the design and style, and I liked that it came with it's own velcro bag to keep it safe, which is the reason I opted to buy this product, however I realise I have just wasted money on this. NOT value for your money, even though it looks pretty. Won't work as an actual training knife as will break, and become useless. Could use it for decorational purpose at best.

Great knife for training

Fab item arrived quick

This trainer was well priced and arrived quickly, looks good and initially flipped fairly well. Straight out of the box, this thing flipped very nicely, however after about a week, it started to seize up and became almost impossible to open properly. Thankfully after a few days, this went away and it flipped nicely again. The handle play was, for about a month, very acceptable, however shortly after the trainer started squeaking, the handle play began to increase and now, after roughly two months of fairly heavy use, the handle play is about the width of a single handle. It's not something which is too troubling, however it doesn't help improve the experience. Nor does the squeaking. The spring latch worked very well for about a month, until the tang pins started pinching and latching it open didn't work. Shortly afterwards, using the latch while it was closed stopped working too. However this didn't matter for very long because the latch broke completely. Thankfully I had planned on removing it anyway, so that just saved me the job of doing so. + the price + the first month of use + the design - the quality overall, if you are getting started, as I am, for the low price, it is worth buying
