December 2017 Update #2 December 15th, 2017 Hey everyone,



Back in 2015 when I was first designing the Squidtrainer, I had a vision to create a budget friendly that still maintained the flipping characteristics of top tier balisongs. Earlier this summer, I tried optimizing my designs even further with the Trident but that project was far too troublesome to produce long term and so I eventually comprised with the Triton. Even with the Triton, I knew that the barrier to entry was too high and so I approached my manufacturer looking for an engineering solution. After months of prototyping and testing, I am proud to finally announce my newest trainer model: Squiddy The Squiddy is the world's first CNC machined PVC-C balisong. It features a channel zen pin handle design with 3/16" diameter steel rods at the ends of each handle for added momentum. The hardware used in the Squiddy is identical to that of the Triton and Squidtrainer. The total length is 10 inches and the total weight is 2.35 ounces. The best feature of them all is the tactical face located at the end of the trainer blade which is can be used to persuade parents and alleviate the concerns of any nearby strangers.



I understand that some of you may be skeptical of a plastic trainer, but rest assured that I have designed the Squiddy to be both highly durable and a quality flipper. This model is priced at $42 USD.
