Meet this new and affordable balisong trainer from Boker Magnum. It is equipped with a blackwashed, stainless steel frame that's inlaid with black G-10. The handles are fastened to the blade via screws, so when loosening occurs, a quick tightening of the pivots will get this trainer functioning like new again. The latch is spring-loaded to provide easy, one-handed deployment and ensure the latch stays out of your way as you flip. This trainer is the perfect place for new flippers to start, and veterans to carry on, and on!
UPDATE: Although I still like the trainer for everything mentioned below, I'm changing my rating to three stars because, after a week, the latch no longer stays in place when the knife is closed. I've tightened the handle as it has loosened with use but the latch just won't keep the handles secure when not in use. Still a great trainer but if this had a live edge and the latch couldn't secure the handles, it would be a real issue.
**************
This trainer has a great weight and balance to it. Right out of the box it had smooth action and I didn't feel the need to lubricate it at all (unlike other trainers I've had in the past).
Great purchase and I'd definitely recommend it.
Got this training knife to train up

Durable smooth quiet. The only criticism is the overall length should be an inch to an inch and a half longer. This is quality here at a decent price. I've seen more expensive ones loose screws and pins -"falling apart!" -that's the reason for the 4 stars! This is the one to get!!It lasts a whole lot longer to the constant punishment. Mine lasted almost 2 yrs before it fell apart. The Best trainer out of the whole lot!!
Great Trainer

I really like this trainer knife because it allows me to do a lot more than with a live blade. I would recommend this to anyone who want to try out a butterfly knife so they cant hurt them self. I also love the sturdiness of this build and how sleek and lightweight this product is.The all around product is great hold really nicely. Love it 10/10
A little disappointed

I will admit this is my first experience with a butterfly knife and maybe I was expecting too much. After using the trainer for 4 days I find it has to be tightened often. So often, in fact, that I feel this can't possibly be normal. The spring clip is also not holding it closed anymore. Perhaps a more expensive knife would have been a better investment. However, if all trainers perform like this, I would be even more disappointed because I'd have wasted more money.
Good value

It is a good trainer for the value. It flips well after a few weeks of frequent flipping, however one of the screws began to back out after the first week.
Truly outstanding value

Great steel trainer, perfectly balanced and weighted. Been using it heavily for a solid six weeks and it performs flawlessly.
