Butterfly Knife Trainer Practice with O-Ring Latch - Enhanced Version - Black Metal Steel - no Offensive Blade - for Beginner, Butterfly Knives Lover and More

This is a great butterfly trainer. It is inexpensive and well made. It works great and is lots of fun. Unlike most, this one even has the traditional latch. It is more shaped like a traditional butterfly than my other trainers. If you have or plan to get a butterfly, this is a great training tool. You definitely dont want to learn with a sharpened version.

I've always wanted to try a butterfly knife but didn't want to spend a lot because you know how many things you THINK you will learn but never do. I reviewed several trainers and was skeptical about the quality of an under $15 knife based on the number of reviewers who had problems with sticking parts, falling apart quickly, etc. but this one was one of the better choices so I bought it. I have been using it for about a week now and have nothing else to compare it to except my quality folding knives. It is definitely a "starter" trainer but it has been working perfectly for what it is. The parts move smoothly without binding and it doesn't look like it will just fall apart in the near future. There is quite a bit of play and it clinks and clanks but it is quite worth the price to practice with and find if you have any interest at all. It seems a bit heavy to me but I have nothing to compare it to. It may turn out to be a plus when moving up to a better one. It certainly is solid. I am trusting the seller will honor the one year warranty if it does fall apart or have any problems within that time. Very much recommended if you ever wanted to try one.

This actually feels pretty good quality in your hand and the weight helps it flip really well. The only thing is that the hex screws are trash and strip easily. And I also can't stand the latch,but that's personal preference. It looks fine and it's a good length for smaller hands. The latch is also kinda tight so check it out before you can't return it.

Works as intended

I had to loosen it up when it arrived, I can tell it is gonna break soon but overall it’ll be good for my girlfriend to learn on before I give her a real knife.

Perfect Price point to see if if you were even interested in butterfly knife martial art arts. Tragically, if you were to use this trainer, it will not last, but you can’t go wrong for the price.

If you're not looking for something very long term, this is a good place to start. This trainer has a good heft to it and ended up being the perfect size for me. This trainer also has a good balance which and is pretty close, if not on the mark for neutral balance. The only thing about this trainer, like all butterfly knives, is the longevity of it. If you don't end up taking care of it, which most people do with a trainer, after about a year that's when you'll start to notice the screws coming loose and the hinges getting roughed up. However, if you do take care of it and lubricate, avoid dropping it, or just practicing over a soft surface. It will stay in it's perfect condition for years. Usually by that time you would have gotten another butterfly knife though.

My main issue is that I could not loosen the pivot screws that hold the arms, they appear to be fake screws and just pinned in place. So I had to bend the knife a bit to loosen those pins and its been working fine since. In the month since I've bought it the screws that hold the handles together have fallen out countless times, I finally got them to stay by using Teflon tape. The tang pin has fallen out which I had to use super glue and my pin punch. That being said I have abused the heck out of these things and they're still going. So if your fine with minor/major repairs they may last you a few months otherwise they'll probably break within the first week or so. That being said, they're 8 bucks so I got what I expected; a cheap starting trainer that will last long enough to get a taste for what you're looking for and buy a replacement. Just a shame the pivot screws are pinned in place, limits the ability to fix them.

Average

It is very good. Makes satisfying sounds too. Beginner friendly. But on the contrary it's heavy

Pros - Flips. Relatively cheaper (I bought it for Rs 1600). Cons - Metal body hurts a lot. Like a lot. Bearings are very tight, you need a strong lubricant, I used hair oil. The black paint strips quickly from edges. But the absolute biggest complaint from my side is the latch -- it broke pretty quickly for me and now flipping using the bite handle is hard. I highly recommend you to immediately dismantle the knife and remove the latch, as it also helps remove the weight from the bite handle. Regardless, it's fun using it and there aren't many better alternatives to this knife at this price, so I am probably going to recommend you purchasing this knife.
