Vlinder Trainer – Balisong training knife with blunt blade

This balisong trainer features a deliberately blunt 3Cr13 steel blade for safe practice. The trainer measures 20.96cm total length with an 8.26cm blade length and weighs 175g. Silver-coloured aluminium handles provide proper balance for practicing flipping techniques.

Construction and materials

The blade is manufactured from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a plain-edge profile kept intentionally dull. Total length measures 20.96cm with a blade length of 8.26cm. The silver aluminium handles feature standard pivot construction. Weight is 175 grams, providing realistic handling characteristics comparable to live blades.

Application and use

Designed for balisong manipulation training without injury risk. Suitable for beginners learning basic openings and closings, as well as advanced users practicing complex aerial tricks. The trainer replicates the weight distribution and pivot action of functional balisongs. Can be used in locations where live blades are prohibited.

Integration and compatibility

Features other locking mechanisms to secure the blade in open position. Standard balisong construction with dual handle design and pivot pins. The trainer uses common hardware that can be adjusted or tightened as needed. No specific platform requirements or mounting standards apply.

Maintenance and lifecycle

Pivot points require periodic oiling for smooth operation. Screws may loosen during intensive use and need regular checking and tightening. The 3Cr13 steel offers moderate corrosion resistance but benefits from dry storage. Impact damage from drops is common with trainers and affects functionality.
