Butterfly Knife Trainer - 3D Printed Balisong

3D printed butterfly knife trainer designed for safe practice and display. Lightweight, durable, and well-balanced with a dull, non-functional blade. Perfect for beginners, flipping practice, or desk decor. I am always working on new designs for the blade and handle so make sure to come back to this from time to time. This blade design is inspired by The Vulp trainer model that can be purchased online. 

Assembly: 

Push weights into the holes at the bottom of each handle. It is easy to force one half of the weight in initially and then push the rest in with the palm of your hand. Placing the handle on a table and doing this may help. 

This model uses unused filament as the hinges as it gives a very smooth and consistent feel that simulates a real butterfly knife. For the hinges, thread unused filament through each of the four holes and cut it flush. Preferably, melt or glue these into place so they do not come out with repeated use. 

Other Notes:

If you guys enjoyed this butterfly knife, please check out some of my other models. My newest one is a comb version of this design which is slightly larger and also has the option to add chains onto the handles. In my opinion it's super cool and It would be amazing if others would give it a try and let me know what they think.
