Product Description

Squid Industries Squiddy Black CPVC Balisong Butterfly Trainer Sku: SQDSQDYB

The Squiddy is the world's first CNC-machined plastic balisong trainer made entirely from CPVC. 

The "C" in CPVC stands for chlorinated, which has a higher impact and heat resistance than typical PVC, making it great for a balisong trainer. This trainer is safe, legal everywhere, and perfect for young folks whose parents don't want them shredding their new sofa with a real balisong. 

Despite this being our most affordable model, we guarantee that it shares the same phenomenal balance that our higher-end products have. The Squiddy comes equipped with press-fit steel rods at the end of each handle to produce a better feel and momentum in each trick.

Whether you’re just starting out or an already experienced flipper, the Squiddy is an essential trainer to have in any flippers collection.

Manufactured and assembled in the USA

Safe

The Squiddy is made of plastic, has no sharp edges, and is legal everywhere!

Public/Age-Friendly 

The Squiddy is designed with a friendly, harmless-looking face. The non-threatening face makes it a perfect EDC flipper. The rounded look and feel also make them great for kids.

Travel

On a similar note to public friendliness, the Squiddy balisong trainer is TSA-friendly. You can fly with it in your carry-on baggage and flip it at the airport.
